REMARKABLY HIGH REGIOSELECTIVITY IN THE REACTION OF CARBOXYBENZALDEHYDES WITH A CROWNED THIAZOLIUM ION IN THE PRESENCE OF ALKALI-METAL IN CHLOROFORM-ACETONITRILE
A. Takaki et al., REMARKABLY HIGH REGIOSELECTIVITY IN THE REACTION OF CARBOXYBENZALDEHYDES WITH A CROWNED THIAZOLIUM ION IN THE PRESENCE OF ALKALI-METAL IN CHLOROFORM-ACETONITRILE, Chemistry Letters, (8), 1994, pp. 1417-1420
The rate of the reaction of o-carboxybenzaldehyde with a crowned thiaz
olium ion was found to be remarkably accelerated by addition of Na+ (1
80-fold) in chloroform-acetonitrile (9 : 1 v/v) containing a base, whe
reas no rate-acceleration was observed for m- and p-carboxybenzaldehyd
es under the same conditions.
