Abstract

Kinetics of the acetolysis of a series of alkyl-substituted neopentyl p- bromobenzenesulfonates, RC, q (CH3) z-CaHYOBs, has been investigated. Firsborder rate constants have been determined at three temperatures and values for AH* and AS* derived for nine esters. Relative rates (CH, member= 1.0) show that (1) lengthening of the chain in R without branching beyond C,(CzHs, n-CaH? and n-C4Hs members) gives a constant ...
