| Dimethyl sulfoxide is an aprotic polar solvent, but certain reactions seem to react via a carbocation in this solvent. The reactivity of &alpha-keto mesylates was studied in dimethyl sulfoxide. It is hypothesized that these compounds, although they react through a carbocation intermediate in protic solvents, do not react through a carbocation intermediate in dimethyl sulfoxide. |
