Rate of Reaction of Cyclopentyl Chloride with Potassium Iodide in Acetone.

摘要

In a recent investigation of the reduction of sulfones by lithium aluminum hydride, it was observed that five-membered ring sulfones are reduced at a much faster rate than open-chain sulfones. One possible formulation of this reaction is displacement of the oxygen by attack of aluminohydride ion (AlH4-) on sulfur. It, therefore, seemed worthwhile to determine whether or not cyclopentyl halides showed enhanced reactivity as compared to open-chain secondary halides in displacement reactions. jg p.1.
