Abstract

Product selectivities [S=([ester product]/[acid product])×([water]/[alcohol solvent])] are reported for solvolyses of p-methoxybenzoyl chloride (2) in aqueous methanol, ethanol, 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and tert-butyl alcohol at 25, 35, and 45° C. S values are small and depend significantly on the alcohol cosolvent, varying from 1.3 in methanol to 0.1 in tert-butyl alcohol, but S depends only slightly on the solvent ...
