Abstract

Results From either methanolysis or methoxide-induced elimination, the products are two olefins (2 and 3) and an ether (4). Synthesis of Substrates. Although most of the substrates were obtained straightforwardly, the synthesis of one calls for special comment. p- Nitrobenzyldimethylcarbinyl chloride (If) is conspicuously absent from the reports of Landis and VanderWerfG" and of Brown and Kim. 7 Blackwell et al. 485 mention specifically their ...
