The Transposing of Isomer Yields in the Methanolyses of N-Substituted Quinolinimides by Triethylamine
Abstract
The effect of triethylamine in transposing the respective yields of the two isomeric esters ensuing from the methanolysis of N-substituted quinolinimides is described and is rationalized with a mechanism.
