Abstract

The effect of conformation on the electronic contribution of the cyclopropyl, phenyl, and isopropyl substituents to an electron-deficient center was examined by placing these substituents in the para position of the tert-cumyl chloride molecule and determining the rates of solvolysis of these tert-cumyl chlorides with no, one, and two rn-methyl groups flanking the para substituent. The results reveal that there is only a small influence of ...
