Abstract
The double rearrangement process affording benzyl (or tropylium) ions, which constitutes the main fragmentation reaction for 2-alkylheterodiphenylmethyl cations, is also observed in the presence of a further substituent (alkyl or aryl) linked to the benzylic carbon. This process is still responsible for important peaks in the mass spectra.
