The facile loss of formic acid from an anion system in which the charged and reacting centres cannot interact
Abstract
Both the 3-[2-(2-formyloxy-1,3-[2H6]propyl)]adamantane carboxyate anion and cation undergo loss of HCO2D from the 3 substituent by processes which occur remote from and uninfluenced by the carboxylate charged centre.
