Abstract

The alkaline hydrolysis of N--methoxycarbonyl benzyl-ß-sultam occurs 103 times faster than the corresponding carboxylate and with rapid D-exchange at the -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.
