✦ Synopsis
It has long been recognized that phenols and anisoles can serve as ambident bases in strong acids, protonatlng either on a ring carbon atom or on oxygen.
2 There has been a great deal of interest in these bases quite recently3 and additional mr evidence for the ambident character of phenols and their derivatives in strong acids haa appeared. 4 We wish to report that the ambident behavior of substituted phenols and anisoles is a function of acid strength and temperature and can be used as a probe of solute-solvent interactions in superacid media.
