Abstract

Formolysis of 5-methyl-5-hexenyl p-nitrobenzenesulfonate gave cyclized material in only 39% yield. The remainder of the product consisted mainly of compounds arising from attack by formic acid on the terminal olefinic bond of the substrate. The main course of the formolysis of 4-methyl-4-pentenyl p-nitrobenzenesulfonate involved rearrangement to the 4- methyl-3-pentenyl ester, followed by solvolysis of the homoallylic system. The formolysis ...
