Abstract: The rates of rearrangement of CH2= CHCH2 (0C3H&O-M+ to cis-CH3CH= CH (OC3H&0-M+ have been studied kinetically at 30" in tetrahydrofuran solution. The Cs+ compounds react about 60 times as fast as the K+ compounds; the Na+ compounds do not rearrange under the conditions used, The rates depend on the value of n, being maximum when n= 3 in the K+ series and when n= 3 or 4 in the Csf series, Chelation of cation by the ...
