Abstract:Inductive effects of groups can conveniently be measured by effective charges Q-the hypothetical charges which would be required t o give the same effect as the groups. Provided the group is not involved in mesomeric interactions, its inductive effect is reduced by a transmission factor (6-0.5) if an extra atom is introduced between it and the site of the reaction. The relative rates of solvolysis of substituted t-cumyl chlorides can be calculated from the charge distribution of the benzyl anion and other exam… Show more
