Abstract

The specific rates of solvolysis of n-octyl fluoroformate have been measured at 24.2° C in 28 pure and binary solvents. For the 23 solvents for which both NT (solvent nucleophilicity) and YCl (solvent ionizing power) values are known, a correlation using the two-term Grunwald– Winstein equation leads to sensitivities towards changes in the two scales of 1.80±0.13 (l value) and 0.79±0.06 (m value), respectively. For seven solvents, a parallel study was ...
