Concerning the Extents of Nucleophilic Participation in Solvolyses of p-Methoxybenzyl Halides
Abstract
The solvolyses of p-methoxybenzyl chloride (1) in 39 solvents are well correlated using an extended form of the Grunwald–Winstein equation; a claim that nucleophilic participation is greater than in the solvolyses of the corresponding bromide 2 is discussed.
