It is shown that during the trifluoroethanolysis of 2-butyl 4-bromobenzenesulfonate, containing 180 in the nonbridging oxygens, scrambling of the oxygen label occurs. When enantiomerically enriched 2-butyl 4-bromobenzenesulfonate is subjected to the same solvolysis conditions, racemizationof the starting ester is not observed. Therefore if an ion-pair intermediate is involved in the trifluoroethanolysis reaction, the ion pair has a sufficient lifetime to permit rotation of the anion leadingto oxygen scrambling. However, rotation of the cation, which would lead to racemization, does not occur. The possibility that the oxygen scrambling may be a concerted reaction and not involve an ion-pair intermediate is discussed.
