Ring fission of cycloalkanols: the different involvement of strain in the reactivity of 3- and 4-membered rings

Abstract

Rates of eliminative ring fission of cyclopropanols under basic condition are 105 to 109 faster then those of the related cyclobutanols; neither excess enthalpies of the systems nor classical ideas on strain distribution in small rings account for these ratios.
