The kinetics and mechanisms of aromatic halogen substitution. Part XXVI. Confirmation of the existence of a solvent deuterium isotope effect in the bromination of phenol in acetic acid
Abstract
The bromination of phenol in acetic acid containing lithium perchlorate and lithium bromide is faster by a factor of 1·8–1·9 than that of O-deuteriophenol in deuterioacetic acid containing the same salts.
