Abstract

Although a large number of functional groups have been examined for their ability to serve as intramolec- ular nucleophiles in solvolytic displacement reactions, conspicuous by its absence is a systematic study of the neighboring acetal or ketal group. Since participation by the methyl ether oxygen has been exhaustively studied13s4 an examination of the dimethyl acetal or ketal group participation would allow an instructive comparison of the relative nucleophilicities ...
