Kinetics of nucleophilic substitution of α-halogeno-sulphoxides
Abstract
α-Halogenomethyl sulphoxides react with PrnO– and EtS– in PrnOH via SN2 substitution; α0halogenoethyl and isopropyl derivatives react more slowly: SN2 reactions are greatly retarded by steric effects and SN1 reactions by the effect of the SO group.
