Stereochemistry of oxachlorocarbene S(N)i reactions.
[reaction: see text] 3-Nortricyclyloxychlorocarbene and trans-4-methylcyclohexyloxychlorocarbene both fragment in hydrocarbon solvents with extensive loss of stereochemical integrity to the corresponding chlorides via competitive and nearly isoenergetic S(N)i-like transition states.
