Conclusions
In a study of the isomerization of optically active 2-bromo-1-propyl pivalate in aprotic solvents, the reaction was found to proceed with the retention of the stereochemical configuration of the starting compound. This finding indicates the formation of cyclic acyloxonium intermediate during the isomerization reaction.
