Abstract
A kinetic study of the uncatalyzed methanolysis of furyl-2-oxirane has been achieved, giving information about the mechanism of a ''pure'' ( uncatalyzed) ring opening of a heteroaromatic oxide. Solvent and salt effect are compatible with a solvent assisted process with a solvent-s eparated ion-pair intermediate.
