Abstract

Abstract: The rates of solvolysis in 80% acetone of I-aryl-1-cyclopropyl-I-ethyl p- nitrobenzoates containing representative substituents in the aryl ring (p-CH30, pH, p-CF3, 3, 5-(CF3) 2) were determined and compared with the rates for the 2-aryl-3-methyl-2-butyl p- nitrobenzoates. Substituted cyclopropyl derivatives (2', 2'-dimethylcyclopropyl and 2'. 2'- dichlorocyclopropyl) were also synthesized and the rates determined. The p+ value for the ...
