Abstract

As part of a comprehensive investigation of electronic effects on the stereochemistry of base- catalyzed 1, 2-elimination reactions, we observed a new syn intramolecular pathway in the elimination of acetic acid from β-acetoxy esters and thioesters. 1H and 2H NMR investigation of reactions using stereospecifically labeled tert-butyl (2 R*, 3 R*)-3-acetoxy-2, 3-2H2-butanoate (1) and its (2 R*, 3 S*) diastereomer (2) shows that 23±2% syn ...
