Triethylamine-promoted Elimination from ( R,R )-PhCHORCHCICO 2 Me (R = MeCO,PhCO,4-MeC 6 H 4,4-MeOC 6 H 4,MeSO 2 and 4-MeC 6 H 4 SO 2 ) in Various Solvents †
The rates and stereochemistry of elimination from a number of (R,R)-PhCHORCHCICO2Me (R = MeCO, PhCO, 4-MeC6H4, 4-MeOC6H4, MeSO2 and 4-MeC6H4SO2) with triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran, acetone, methanol, dimethylformamide and acetonitrile as solvents led to the conclusion that the elimination process occurs through an (E1cB)l mechanism.
