Conformations of favorable transition states in the thermal pyrolysis of alkyl acetates and xanthates
Abstract
Thermal β-eliminations of alkyl acetates and xanthates prefer syn -elimination through a favorable six-membered, approximately flat half-boat/half-chair cyclic transition state rather than a six-membered chair cyclic transition state.
