Abstract

The solvolysis of a-arylethanol derivatives is a useful probe of aromatic reactivity. Streitwieser, et aZ., 2-4 have recently compared the reactivities of a large number of aromatic hydrocarbons, and the sol-volysis rates of the corresponding arylmethyl tosylates. There is good correspondence in the two series, covering a wide variety of types and conditions12 and to various semiempirical AI0 meth~ ds;~ the results lead to a useful set ...
