Abstract

Solvolysis rates of 2-(aryldimethylsilyl) ethyl chlorides were determined conductimetrically in 60%(v/v) aqueous ethanol. The effects of aryl substituents at the silyl atom on the solvolysis rates at 50° C were correlated with essentially nonresonant parameters of r= 0.10 in terms of Yukawa–Tsuno (Y–T) Eq. 1, giving a ρ value of− 1.75. Such a high ρ value may be regarded as the effect of aryl ring on the bridged Si in the rate-determining step. The Si-bridging is ...
