25. The acetal cis-7 could adopt a sterically disfavored diaxial conformer positioning the alkoxy group closer to the acetal carbon atom, but the slower rate of acceleration compared to that of trans-7 suggests that that it does not.

30. The involvement of an acyloxy group at the 2-position of a carbohydrate, which also does not cause considerable ring strain, has been suggested to accelerate hydrolysis by only up to 13-fold when controlled for inductive effects. This acceleration has been attributed to stabilization of the developing positive charge by the carbonyl oxygen atom, and not formation of an onium ion (Ref. [24]).
