Abstract

The powerful acylating ability of mixed sulfonic-carboxylic anhydrides is demonstrated by their facile cleavage of ethers. The nature of this cleavage process is discussed and its distinction and advantages over acyl halide cleavage indicated. Potential synthetic uses of this reaction are pointed out and a brief summary of the results with amines is included.
