Abstract
Regio- and stereochemical studies of the solvolyses of various kinds of 2,4-pentanediol derivatives, including 2-acetoxy-4-tosylates, cyclic orthoformates and orthoacetates, have been done and the previously proposed mechanism has been partially revised. The reactions of the proposed intermediate acetoxonium ions with carbanions and with a hydride ion have also been studied.
