Abstract

Carboxylic acid esters Q 0530Carbon-Carbon Bond Cleavage and Esterification of Phenylacetonitrile and Its Derivatives Affording the Corresponding Benzoic Esters. -The electronic effect of phenylacetonitrile substituents is remarkably; the reactivity of saturated alcohols is described to follow the sequence of primary, secondary, tertiary due to the steric-hindrance effect. -(WANG, Z.; KANG, J.; YU*, M.; J.
