Abstract

This high reactivity is in contrast with that of chloromethyl ethers which proceed markedly slower even in acid solution. Thus, the reactivity of the title compound 2 toward benzene is faster by at least a factor of lo4 than that of chloromethyl methyl ether in acetic acid, j and by a similar factor than that of acetoxymethyl methyl ether. 6
