Abstract

AbstractThe specific rates of solvolysis of diphenylphosphinyl chloride (1) have been measured at 25.0 °C in 30 solvents. For six representative solvents, studies were made at several temperatures and activation parameters determined. These were used to calculate a value at 25.0 °C in 100% 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFE) from values at higher temperatures. The 31 solvents gave a reasonable extended Grunwald–Winstein plot, correlation coefficient (R) of 0.920, which improved to 0.956 when the four TFE–ethanol points were excluded. The sensitivities (l and m) were similar to those obtained for dimethyl phosphorochloridate and phosphorochloridothionate and for N,N,N′,N′‐ tetramethyldiamidophosphorochloridate. As with the three previously studied solvolyses, an SN2 pathway is proposed for the solvolyses of 1. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
