33. Under reaction conditions similar to those used for 1 and 2, the phenyl cation reacts with 1,3-butadiene and isoprene predominantly by proton transfer.
34. For simplicity, only the formation of the ortho-cycloadduct is considered.

39. The minor differences observed in the relative abundances of fragments on comparison of Figure 6 and Figure 3 a probably result from the slightly different experimental setups and collision conditions (collision gas pressures and energies).
