The Hydrolytic Reactivities of N -methyl- N- (methylthiomethyl)acetamide and N -acetyl-1,3-thiazolidine: The Influence of the Sulfur Atom

Abstract

The sulfur atom in the substrates leads to modest enhancements in the titled phenomena: these are essentially derived from favourable enthalpies of activation, the negative entropies of activation possibly indicating a measure of stereoelectronic control.

Keywords

sulfur atom N-acetyl-1,3-thiazolidine
