Line 2: Line 2:
A dissociation reaction triggered by transfer of a hydrogen atom via a 6-member transition state to the formal radical/charge site from a carbon atom four atoms removed from the charge/radical site (the ?????????????-carbon); subsequent rearrangement of electron density leads to expulsion of an olefin molecule. This term was originally applied to ketone ions where the charge/radical site is the carbonyl oxygen, but it is now more widely applied.
