The Racemization of Sulfonium Salts. III. The Racemization of Arylsulfonium Salts

The rate constants for racemization by inversion of a variety of monoaryl- and diarylsulfonium salts are reported. There is a marked steric effect upon the rate of the racemization reaction. An estimate is made of the half-life for racemization of acyclic optically active triarylsulfonium salts.
