A remarkable mechanistic dichotomy in the acid-catalysed decomposition of the N- and C-adducts of indolide anions with 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene
Abstract
Decomposition of the N- and C-adducts of indolide anions with 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene is subject to specific acidcatalysis in the former case and general-acid-catalysis in the latter through an SEAr process.
