Stereochemistry of hydrolysis and elimination reaction of toluene-p-sulphonate esters on alumina

Abstract
A stereochemical preference for trans-1,2-elimination and hydrolysis with inversion of configuration has been found when solutions of toluene-p-sulphonate esters are stirred over alumina, but exo-norbornyl toluene-p-sulphonate undergoes 1,3-elimination and hydrolysis with retention of configuration.
