NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION OF α-HALO-KETONES-XXII ACETOLYSIS OF α'-PHENOXY-α-CHLORO-KETONES. A COMPARISON OF THEIR REACTIVITY WITH THAT OF THE CORRESPONDING THIOETHERS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)91146-9

The results obtained in the acetolysis of α-chloro-ketones 1 a-e are compared with those previously reported for the acetolysis of the corresponding α'-phenylthio-α-chloro-ketones 15a-e and discussed in terms of the enolization-solvolysis mechanisms.
