Abstract

A series of 1-phenyl-2-tosyloxy-and 1-phenyl-3-tosyloxyalkanes was synthesized and then subjected to tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF under 15 kbar (1.5 GPa), 8 kbar or 1 bar pressures. The resultant substitution and elimination reaction product distributions were analyzed. The application of pressure enhanced the progress of the fluoride-ion substitution reactions. The degree of selectivity of the one reaction over the other was found to be a ...
