The products of hydrolysis of cyclic orthoesters as a function of pH and the theory of stereoelectronic control
Keyword(s):
The acid hydrolysis of cyclic orthoesters 1, 3–6 (R = Me), and 2 (R = Me and Et) as a function of pH was studied. The bicyclic orthoester 5 yields mainly the hydroxy-ester (less than 5% lactone), and this result is essentially independent of pH. For the other orthoesters, the relative percentage of products differs for each case and varies with pH. At pH ≤ 3, the percentage of lactone is always larger than at pH > 3. These results are explained on the basis of the stereoelectronic theory for the cleavage of tetrahedral intermediates.
