General-Base Catalysis of Nucleophilic Substitution at Carbon
Dietze, Paul E.,Jencks, William P.
, p. 340 - 344 (1989)
The bimolecular reaction of methyl(4-nitrophenyl)sulfonium ion with trifluoroethanol is catalyzed by substituted acetate ions and other buffer bases in 50percent trifluoroethanol-water (v/v) at 40 deg C and ionic strength 0.5 M (NaClO4).The Broensted β value is 0.26, but there is no significant solvent deuterium isotope effect.The reaction with water and ethanol do not show catalysis and there is no catalysis of the reaction of (4-trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide.
