โฆ Synopsis
The competition between substitution (sN2), elimination (E2) and additiorrelimination (AE) reactions in the gas phase has been studied by using OH-and NH,as nucleophiles reacting with esters of acetylenedicarboxylic acid of general formula RO(O)CCZCC(O)OR'. By selectively varying R and R' it was possible to show that the E2 reaction predominates over SN2 and that the relative contributions of the three reactions with OH-follow the decreasing order AE > E2 > SN2, whereas for NH,-it is E2 > A E > SN2. The E2 reaction is discussed in terms of substituent effects, relative acidity of the different phydrogens and geometry of the transition state. For the AE reaction a leaving group order for this class of compounds was established.

The intramolecular elimination of isobutene from 2-d,-triisobutylaluminum has been studied in the gas phase for temperatures ranging between 102.4 and 184.6'C. The reaction is apparently homogeneous and obeys the first order rate law, yielding the following Arrhenius relationship: log kelim (sec-')
