Solvolysis of 1-aryl-1-(trifloromethyl) ethyl tosylates. Evidence for an extremely high electron demand carbenium ion intermediate due to the presence of α- …
Abstract The rate-retarding effect of?-trifluoromethyl group observed in the solvolysis of 1- aryl-1-(trifluoromethyl) ethyl tosylates is so profound that a very large negative α+ value,− 8.82, is resulted and the 1-phenyl derivative becomes even less reactive than benzyl
