20. Suprisingly. reaction times in all cases are nearly equal, although GC/MS analysis after 15 h showed more than two times faster conversion in case of 7 mol % of 3 than in case of our standard protocol (1 mol % of 3). The results are available in the Supporting Information.
21. We observed a nonlinear catalytic effect for the ethanolysis of 1 with a notable rate enhancement in the second half of the reaction period. This is apparently not a case of autocatalysis through product 4b because addition of 20 mol% of 4b to our standard test reaction showed no variation relative to our standard protocol. Further mechanistic investigations are currently underway.
