Acetolysis of phenyl-substitute endo- and exo-bicyclo[n,1,0]alkyl chlorides; evidence for concerted dis(2), nonconcerted dis(0) and partially ring-opened carbonium-ion mechanisms
Abstract
A study of the effect of phenyl-substitution on the rate of reaction and products produced in the acetolysis of bicyclo[n,1,0]alkyl chlorides provides evidence for three different modes of ring-opening in the transformation of the cyclopropyl to allyl system.
