The kinetics of the alkaline hydrolysis of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulphonyl chloride have been re-studied. Contrary to a previous report, the reaction does depend on the concentration of nucleophile. This eliminates the only hitherto undisputed example of an SN1 mechanism in nucleophilic substitution at sulphur.
