The marked labilizing effect of carbinol and carbethoxy groups in the 3 position upon the cleavage of carbon to oxygen linkages has been observed in the hydrogenolysis of trimethylene glycol, ethyl/3-hydroxybut yrate, malonic ester, etc., to the corresponding monohydric alcohols.'The effect of an oxygenated substituent in the 4 or 5 position is less marked than in the 3 position, but may be of considerable importance from a preparational ...
