Abstract

(4-X-pheny1) phenylacetyl Y-benzoyl peroxides and three corresponding 4-X-benzhydryl-4- nitrobenzoic carbonic anhydrides (X= CH3, H, C1) were prepared. All compounds decomposed in 90% acetone-water (v/v), giving the ionic products ester, alcohol, and acid. The fraction of ester (R) was similar to that found in the solvolysis of substituted benzhydryl- N-nitrosoamides, indicating a similar spectrum of ion-pair intermediates. The yield of ester ...
