Abstract
The reactions of aluminium(III) iodide with a number of common potenti ally chelating ethers and esters have been studied in diethylether or carbon disulphide solutions. Cleavage of the O-C bond occurred under v ery mild conditions. Differences in reactivity of aluminium iodide tow ards some closely related compounds suggest chelation is important in the mechanism of cleavage.
