Abstract

The reaction of diphenylcarbonyl oxide with alcohols and carboxylic acids, which has been classified as a nucleophilic trapping, is shown to be in the reactivity order: AcOH≫ MeOH> CF3CH2OH> EtOH≫ t-BuOH. A laser-flash spectroscopy indicated that the reaction of carboxylic acids is very fast, that is, one-tenth of the diffusion rate. These results suggest that the hydroxyl compounds react as an acid and a nucleophile at the same time and the ...
