Use of 17O NMR in a Stereochemical Study of the Alkaline Hydrolysis of Cyclic Six-Membered 2-Aryl Phosphates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00006a041

The alkaline hydrolysis of the title compounds 1-5 (Chart II) with ¹⁷OH^- has been studied. The labeled cyclic phosphate salts produced by hydrolysis of 1-5 were converted to a mixture of the corresponding methyl esters 9 (Scheme III)
