Activation parameters for the solvolysis in aqueous trifluoroethanol of arenesulphonyl chlorides with electron-supplying substituents have been determined; the results are not in accord with earlier proposals that such compounds react by an SNI mechanism.
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.
