68. 5 to the reductive elimination reactions of 7 in each solvent resulted in clean first order kinetics over greater than three half-lives. Qualitative time studies showed that added pyridine had little effect on the relative rate in each of the solvents studied.
69. Carboxylate exchange in toluene progressed too slowly to measure quantitatively at -38°C (i.e., no observable exchange occurred after 6 h).
70. More investigation is needed to understand why the entropy of activation is so small in this system. See ref 34 for a possible explanation.

72. 2 have the added complication that these complexes contain two different carboxylate ligands. If mechanism A were operating, these two ligands would serve two very different roles in the first step of the reaction - one would dissociate to form an anion (stabilized by electron withdrawing groups), while the other would remain bound to cationic intermediate II (stabilized by electron donating groups).
73. ‡ = 31.4 and 26.4 kcal/mol, respectively). In contrast, mechanism C was calculated to have a much larger activation energy of 44.3 kcal/mol.
74. While the observed solvent effects and activation parameters are somewhat unexpected for a system involving ionic intermediates, they may result from an unusually early or late transition state that has relatively little charge buildup.
75. Only C-O coupled products were formed in this reaction; however, both acetoxylated product 73 and the corresponding phenol (presumably formed by ester hydrolysis under the reaction conditions) were observed.
