Abstract

Effects of thiourea addition on the solvolysis of benzyl, α-methylbenzyl, and α- t-butylbenzyl chlorides were investigated in 50 % aqueous acetone at 45 °C. Logarithmic plots between the second-order rate with thiourea ( k N) and the corresponding solvolysis rate ( k solv) provide a scattered pattern of deviations from a straight line defined for the k c mechanism. Mechanistic change in three solvolyses was discussed based on characteristic deviation behaviors.
