Formolysis of methyl-C14-isopropylcarbinyl p-toluenesulphonate (I) at reflux temperature gave a mixture of 2-methyl-2-butene (II), 2-methyl-1-butene (III), and 3-methyl-l-butene (IV). The relative amounts of olefins II, III, IV were measured by gas-liquid chromatography to be 88%, 11%, and 1%, respectively. When the formolysis was carried out at 50 °C, besides olefins II, III, and IV, some t-amyl formate was obtained indicating a substitution reaction with neighboring hydrogen participation. Degradation of the mixture of olefins from formolysis gave, among other compounds, radioactive acetone, indicating an isotope position rearrangement in the chief product, 2-methyl-2-butene (II). This rearrangement may be attributed to a 1,2-methyl shift in one of the processes that gave rise to olefin II. A comparison of the data from the acetolysis and the formolysis of I showed that in the E1 reactions, neighboring hydrogen participation is predominant in either solvent. For a change of solvent from acetic acid to the more ionizing formic acid, it was demonstrated that there is a greater degree of neighboring methyl participation while the process involving no neighboring group participation assumes less importance.

Reactions of the title compounds (bearing an OH, OCH3 or OCOCH3 group at C(19)) involve 5(O)n, 7(O)π,n-participation by the 19-substituent or attack by an external nucleophile. The 6(O)π,n-participation does not occur. The behavior of 1,2-unsaturated (or epoxidated) compounds has been compared with the earlier described 2,3-unsaturated or epoxidated analogs. The 1,2-type is genarally less prone to participation. The reasons for this behavior are discussed.

The mechanism of perchloric acid cleavage of epoxides I and II was established on the basis of experiments using H2 18O. The 2α,3α-epoxide I gave two products: the cyclic ether V (60%) arising by 5(O)n participation of the 19-acetoxyl and the diol VI (40%). The latter compound is formed by two mechanisms: 1) By direct cleavage of the oxirane ring with H2 18O as external nucleophile and 2) by 7(O)π,n participation via the ion III. Under the same conditions the 5α,6α-epoxide II yielded two diols: The diequatorial diol VIII (96%) arising by 6(O)π,n participation and the diaxial diol IX which is again formed by both direct cleavage of the oxirane ring with H2 18O and by 7(O)π,n participation via the intermediate ion X. The competition of several mechanisms is discussed.
