Abstract

From the determination of product composition and overall second-order rate constants for the reactions of a number of cyclic quaternary ammonium ions with sodium methoxide in methanol and previous similar data, a complete set of partial rate coefficients for the ring- opening reactions (substitution and elimination) of 1, l-dimethyl cyclic ammonium ions and their a, &-dimethyl-substituted derivatives for ring sizes 4-6 was made available. Such ...
