β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the reaction of four X-3-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-1,2,3-benzoxathiazole 2,2-dioxides (X = 5-Cl, 5-Br, 5-NO 2 and 6-NO 2 ) with hydroxide ion and imidazole in aqueous acetonitrile and aqueous ethanol solutions were investigated at various pressures. The volumes of activation were all found to be negative and consistent with a bimolecular reaction involving considerable solvent electrostriction. No significant dependence on the solvent composition was found.

Reactions of the title compounds with sodium methoxide and sodium borodeuteride were found to proceed mainly via the SK2' mechanism; nucleophiles selectively attacked the anomeric carbon atom from the same side of the leaving acetoxyl group at C-3.
## Abstract The title compound **1** is a further example of an olefinic alcohol that undergoes ether formation under basic conditions **(β 3)** although the double bond is not activated by an electronβattracting group. This unusual reactivity is due to steric compression, which is increased in the
