Abstract

In order to study the effect of C‐6 substituents on the solvolysis of endo‐ or exo‐tosylates, the rate constants for alcoholysis (in 80% ethanol) of (I) and its exo‐isomer are measured conductometrically, showing deceleration factors of 28 and 16, respectively compared with the parent compound.
