The mechanism of double bond reduction occurring in certain conjugated ketones, nitriles, acids and esters under chemical ionization conditions has been studied. The results indicate that the hydrogen radicals present in the chemically ionized plasma are responsible for the reduction of the double bond. This is further supported by experiments with radical traps.
