Gas-phase reactions of acylium ions with alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were investigated using pentaquadrupole multiple-stage mass spectrometry. With acrolein and metacrolein, CH(3)-C(+)(double bond)O, CH(2)(double bond)CH-C(+)(double bond)O, C(6)H(5)-C(+)(double bond)O, and (CH(3))(2)N-C(+)(double bond)O react to variable extents by mono and double polar [4

alpha,beta-Unsaturated ketones are bifunctional compounds which form promutagenic 1,N(2)-propanodeoxyguanosine adducts like carcinogenic alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and are mutagenic and genotoxic like these aldehydes. They are important industrial chemicals, are found in our environment and are widespread in our food. We investigated
