Abstract

The reactions of the strongly hydrogen bonded anions, CH3CO2HF− and (CH3CO2)2H−, with alkyl halides have been studied in the gas phase by ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy. A novel reaction of nucleophilic attack by (CH3CO2)2H− with alkyl chlorides to produce CH3CO2HCl− and alkyl acetates is reported. Parallels are drawn to synthetically important analogous reactions in glacial acetic acid solutions of alkali metal fluorides.
