The ionic-molecular reactions of free butyl cations, generated by a nuclear chemical method, with carbon monoxide, containing small quantities of ethyl alcohol vapors, were studied. Carbon monoxide was used for the fixation of unstable butyl cations in the form of the corresponding acyl ions. The only product of the reaction of free butyl cations with carbon monoxide in the presence of ethyl alcohol vapors is the ester of ..cap alpha..-methylbutyric acid. This means that by the moment of the reaction of butyl cations with carbon monoxide, the primary butyl cations are virtually entirely isomerized to secondary butyl cations, in accord with the results of previous investigations. This permits a study of processes of isomerization of free butyl cations according to the isomeric composition of the products of ionic-molecular reactions.
