Abstract

Abstract Approximate rates of the competing syn-and anti-pathways have been determined in tC 4 H 9 OK-tC 4 H 9 OH promoted elimination from two homologous series of tosylates: I- OTs trans-III (R= H, CH 3, C 2 H 5, nC 3 H 7, iC 3 H 7, tC 4 H 9) and II-OTs trans-IV (R= CH 3, C 2 H 5, nC 3 H 7, iC 3 H 7, tC 4 H 9). A comparison has been made with rates of the same processes in the (+) elimination of the corresponding trimethylammonium salts IN (CH 3) 3 ...
