Several ring-substituted tert-butyl phenylperacetates (YC6H4CH2CO3Bu
t
) and their deuterated
versions (YC6H4CD2CO3Bu
t
) were prepared (Y: p-OCH3, p-CH3, p-H, and p-NO2). Thermolyses at
80 °C in CDCl3 showed excellent first-order kinetics. The rates have been measured as k
YH × 104
and k
YD × 104 s-1: 11.9 and 9.20 (p-OCH3), 2.64 and 2.22 (p-CH3), 1.06 and 0.93 (p-H), 0.164 and
0.156 (p-NO2). Hammett correlations were derived to yield ρYH
+ = −1.17 and ρYD
+ = −1.12. However,
better Hammett plots were obtained with three points (p-OCH3, p-CH3, and p-H) showing ρYH
+ =
−1.35 and ρYD
+ = −1.28. SDKIE was calculated as 1.293 (p-OCH3), 1.189 (p-CH3), 1.140 (p-H), and
1.051 (p-NO2), showing substantial substituent effects. Values of k
YH/k
YD for p-NO2 showed little
temperature dependence. Hammett correlations and SDKIE were derived from the same kinetic
entity that is the bond cleavage.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
