Abstract:ALLAN R. STEIN. Can. J. Chem. 67,297 (1989). No, or at most very small, salt effects have been detected for second-order racemizations of various 1-phenylbromoethanes, confirming that the "mixed kinetics", previously reported for 4-methyl-and 3,4-dimethylphenylbromoethanes with tetrabutylammonium bromide in acetonitrile and nitromethane, did not reflect a salt effect on a unimolecular reaction. Thus the uni-and bimolecular rate components can be evaluated using the equation:where kl = first-order or unimolecul… Show more
