Abstract

Abstract The gas phase basicities of cis 2-aryl-2-butenes have been determined by measuring proton transfer equilibria. It has been shown that the substituent effect on the stability of the conjugate acid ion of the olefin, α-ethyl-α-methylbenzyl cation, is in complete agreement with that of α-cumyl cation, suggesting that α,α-dialkyl benzyl cations seem likely to be characterized by the r value of 1.0 given by the LArSR analysis.
