Abstract

The alkaline hydrolysis of N-α-methoxycarbonyl benzyl-β-sultam occurs 10³ times faster than the corresponding carboxylate and with rapid D-exchange at the α-carbon: the pH rate profile indicates pre-equilibirum CH ionisation and together with formation of benzoyl formate as a product this suggests a novel mechanism for hydrolysis.
