Consider the relative rates of the two solvolysis reactions in acetic acid solvent shown in Fig. P17.50 on p. 876. (a) Suggest a reason that compound A undergoes solvolysis much faster than compound B. (Hint: Consider anchimeric assistance by the p electrons of the double bond; see Sec. 11.8A.) (b) Account for the retention of stereochemistry observed in reaction A with a mechanism. (Hint: See Sections 11.8A and 11.8D.)
