ABSTRACT The rates of solvolysis of a series of sulfonium salts which may be considered as models for the biologically important sulfonium salt, S-adenosylnlethionine, are discussed in terms of a possible anchimeric role of the carboxyl group of methionine in transmethylation reactions. ... INTRODUCTION In a previous paper in this series (1) the apparent enhancement of the nucleophilicity of the acetate anion in the solvolysis of dimethyl t-butyl sulfoni~im ...
