The kinetics of 3-methyl-3-chloro-1-butene dehydrochlorination in propylene carbonate, g-butyrolactone, sulfolane, acetone, MeCN, PhNO 2 , PhCN, PhCOMe, MeCOEt, cyclohexanone, o-dichlorobenzene, PhCl, PhBr, 1,2-dichloroethane, dioxane, and AcOEt were studied; v = k[C 5 H 9 Cl], E1 mechanism. The reaction rate is satisfactorily described by the parameters of the polarity, electrophilicity, and cohesion of the solvent; the solvent nucleophilicity and polarizability exert no effect on the reaction rate.
