Abstract

Abstract The activating effect of the phenylazo substituent in electrophilic substitution has been examined. The rates and partial rate factors for chlorination of azobenzene with molecular chlorine and protonated chlorine acetate have been determined relative to benzene. Whereas the chlorine acetate reaction proceeds readily (relative rate 4900) there is virtually no activation to chlorination by molecular chlorine. Complexes between ...
