ChemInform Abstract: γ‐Silicon Stabilization of Carbonium Ions in Solvolysis. Part 3. Solvolysis of 4‐(Trimethylsilyl)‐3‐methyl‐2‐butyl p‐Bromobenzenesulfonates.

Abstract The solvolysis behavior of the individual threo‐ and erythro‐stereoisomers (I) and (II) of the title compound is investigated in order to characterize the nature of the γ‐silyl interaction and conformational dependence in solvolysis.
