J. Org. Chem. 1992,57,1045-1047 boxylate anion and 1.1 equiv of 1&6 crown ether in DMF. The solution was allowed to stir overnight in order to completely dissolve the salt and was then used immediately. The 0.1 M solution of KC104 was prepared similarly. Second-order rate constante, k", were obtained from plots of kob VB concentration of the nucleophile. Typically five concentrations of nucleophile were used from 0.02 to 0.1 M however, for some faster reactions lower concentrationswere employed. Generally plots of k h va nucleophile were linear with intercepts of zero; however, some plots appeared to show a small amount of upward curvature at higher nucleophile concentrations. The experimental point for the higheat nucleophile concentration never deviated more than 25% from the line defined by lower concentrations of nucleophile.
