Abstract
The rates of e number of nucleophilic substitution reactions have been measured over a range of pressures to 3000 atm. Reactions where ions are produced in the rate-determining step are accelerated 4.0-4.6 times, while where there is no change in the number of ions, the acceleration is by a factor of 2.25. In the solvolysis of isopropyl bromide, which proceeds by simultaneous SNl, SN2, and E2 mechanisms, of differing electrical type, it is shown that high pressures favour the SN1 mechanism.
