The effects of the leaving group X‐CO‐O‐, the stabilization of the remaining positive charge by SiMe3 and its stereo position, and the substituent R on the rates of elimination of X‐CO‐O‐SiMe3 from (I) to form (II) are studied in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
