Abstract
In methanolic aqueous acid, methoxy-substituted tritylammonium ions un dergo heterolysis to give an equilibrium mixture of the substituted tr ityl cation, the corresponding alcohol (and methyl ether), and the amm onium cation via an S(N)1 mechanism; the detection of a reaction chann el first order in hydronium ions may implicate substituted trityl cati on-ammonia (ion-molecule) pairs as reactive intermediates.
