Concerted and non-concerted fragmentation reactions in the solvolysis of endo-3,4-benzobicyclo[4,2,1,02,5]non-9-on-7-yl toluene-p-sulphonates
Abstract
A synchronous fragmentation reaction, with acceleration, has been observed in the acetolysis of the endo-toluene-p-sulphonate of the title compound: for the exo-toluene-p-sulphonate, although some fragmentation occurs, no rate acceleration was observed.
