Aromatic reactivity. Part XLI. An analysis of substituent effects in detritiation of 1- and 2-tritionaphthalenes
Abstract
The effects of substituents on the rates of detritiation at the 1- and 2-position of naphthalene are examined in terms of various substituent constants. An empirical analysis of the separate transmission of polar and resonance effects indicates that the theoretical charge distribution in the Wheland intermediate provides the best simple guide to the substituent influences from the various positions.
