Abstract

Abstract: Rate data for the hydration of substituted styrenes and phenylacetylenes and of rrans-3-hexene and 3-herqne in moderately concentrated aqueous sulfuric acid solutions have been analyzed in terms of the proper linear free energy relationship (for &E2 type mechanisms) discussed in the previous paper. The analysis indicates that the solvation requirements of the transition states of the reaction and hence of the corresponding ...
