“…Studies involving the application of the G-W equation to chloroformate esters have included the methyl ester [18], examples of primary alkyl esters such as ethyl [6], propyl [19], isobutyl [9], neopentyl [20], and n -octyl [21], examples of secondary alkyl esters such as isopropyl [22,23] and 2-adamantyl [24], phenyl [25], and substituted phenyl esters [26,27]. There has been only one study in terms of the G-W equation of a tertiary alkyl chloroformate.…”
