Dn. Kevill et Mj. D'Souza, Concerning the extents of nucleophilic participation in solvolyses of p-methoxtbenzyl halides, J CHEM R-S, (5), 1999, pp. 336-337
The solvolyses of p-methoxybenzyl chloride (1) in 39 solvents are well corr
elated using an extended form of the Grunwald-Winstein equation; a claim th
at nucleophilic participation is greater than in the solvolyses of the corr
esponding bromide 2 is discussed.
