SECONDARY TRITIUM ISOTOPE EFFECTS, A USEFUL MECHANISTIC PROBE FOR THE STUDY OF ACETOXYL PARTICIPATION AND TRANSFER

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)87067-7

Tritium labelling on the acetoxyl methyl group has been used to probe the mode of incorporation of acetate into cinnamyl acetate in the solvolyses of cinnamyl chloride and cinnamylmercuric acetate, and in the allylic oxidation of allylbenzene with mercuric acetate.
