Rate and thermodynamic data are presented for the reaction between both potassium iodide in acetone and sodium ethoxide in ethanol and the following allyl chlorides: allyl chloride, cis-and trans-y-methylallyl chloride, cis-and trans-y-ethylallyl chloride, cis-and trans-r- isopropylallyl chloride. All of the y-alkylallyl chlorides were more reactive than allyl chloride and the cis isomer was more reactive than the trans isomer, especially with potassium ...
