Abstract
Quantitative analysis of the effect of solvent parameters on the rate of heterolysis of tert-butyl chloride was performed; the reaction rate is fairly described by the polarity, polarizability, and electrophilicity parameters or by the ionizing ability parameter, while the nucleophilicity of the solvent has no rate effect. A negative effect of nucleophilic solvation was revealed in protic solvents.
