Abstract
In contrast to alkyl esters of carboxylic acids, 3-acyloxysulfolanes on reaction with nucleophilic reagents readily split out a carboxylic acid to give 2-sulfolene, which then reacts with compounds containing a labile hydrogen atom. On the basis of data on the kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of benzoates, a scheme for elimination of the acid that includes the intermediate formation of a transition state of the E1CB type is proposed.
