N2  - The elimination of two tosyloxy groups from vicinal ditosyloxy compounds by reaction with sodium iodide has been investigated. The reaction involves nucleophilic displacement of one tosyloxy group ; this is followed by the simultaneous elimination of the second tosyloxy group and iodine, if the steric arrangement is favourable; if it is unfavourable, a second displacement by an iodide ion probably occurs to give substituents having a trans-arrangement suitable for elimination. In one case, that of the ditosyl derivative of trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diol, the intermediate cis-2-iodocyclohexyl toluene-p-sulphonate was isolated.
