Abstract

The relative reactivities of nuclear-substituted ethylbenzenes, benzaldehyde dimethyl acetals, and diphenylmethyl methyl ethers toward the trichloromethyl radical at 80° have been determined by means of intermolecular competitive reactions. The results show a σ+ correlation by the Hammett equation with ρ-values of –0·53, –0·18, and –0·12, respectively, a decreasing polar effect consistent with the increasing reactivity of the three series.
