Abstract

Abstract: The stereomutation about the C-0 partial double bond of a series of 1-methoxy- (2/3) and 1-hydroxy-3-arylallyl cations (5) has been examined experimentally in strong acid solutions and theoretically by using HF/STO-3G calculations. The interconversions of cations 2/3 were shown to be intramolecular processes in FSO, H, CF, S03H, and FSO, H/SbF,. The rate constants of the stereomutation of these cations, which were measured by using ...
