Abstract
Abstract When the 2-butyl and 2-pentyl derivatives were treated with tetraethylammonium fluoride in acetonitrile, an olefin-forming elimination took place and an overwhelming Saytzeff orientation was observed. The relative yield of 1-olefin was little affected by changes in the leaving group and β-alkyl group. These results were compared with the results of the eliminations with the conventional base-solvent systems (EtO− in EtOH, t-BuO− in t-BuOH, and t-BuO− in DMSO).
