The M+. of 4-Benzyl-1,2,3,4-2-methyl-tetrahydroisoquinoline (1) decomposes by competing loss of H.- or H3C.-radicals, of H3C-NH2, C6H6 and C7H8, respectively, or by RDA-fission. The fragmentation mechanisms are studied on the specifically deuterated analogues 2-8. The elimination of C6H6 and C7H8 is preceded by extensive H/D-exchange, especially between the positions 1, 4, the benzylic methylene group, and the aromatic positions (pos. 5, 8, and phenyl).
