Three triflates were solvolyzed at various temperatures in water-alcohol mixtures, in TFE-water mixtures, in TFA, in TFIP, in HFIP, and in 100% TFE in the presence of various buffers and the resulting products were determined. The three reactants were also solvolyzed in a standard mixture (1:100:100 equals triflate:TFE:Na//2CO//3) at various temperatures, and the yields of products were compared. The solvolysis products were shown to be under kinetic control.
