Hydrolysis of Tosyl Esters Initiated by an Electron Transfer from Photoexcited Electron-Rich Aromatic Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00249a058

Selective hydrolysis of tosyl esters was realized by irradiation of Uv light (>300 nm) in the presence of electron-rich aromatic compounds and the reaction proceeds via en electron-transfer process.
