Abstract

Abstract: A series of ring-substituted N-sulfonoxyacetanilides (la-f) were synthesized, and their solvolysis reactions in aqueous and alcohol solvents were studied. These compounds serve as models for the carcinogenic metabolites of polynuclear aromatic amides. Kinetic and product studies yielded evidence for solvolysis via NO bond cleavage in aqueous solution with generation of tight ion pairs and solvent-separated ion pairs. The tight ion ...
