Rate and Product Studies with 1-Adamantyl Chlorothioformate under Solvolytic Conditions.

A study was carried out on the solvolysis of 1-adamantyl chlorothioformate (1-AdSCOCl, ) in hydroxylic solvents. The rate constants of the solvolysis of were well correlated using the Grunwald-Winstein equation in all of the 20 solvents (R = 0.985).

Correlation of the rates of solvolysis of i-butyl fluoroformate and a consideration of leaving-group effects.

The specific rates of solvolysis of isobutyl fluoroformate (1) have been measured at 40.0 °C in 22 pure and binary solvents. These results correlated well with the extended Grunwald-Winstein (G-W) equation, which incorporated the N(T) solvent nucleophilicity scale and the Y(Cl) solvent ionizing power scale.

Corrrelation of the specific rates of solvolysis of ethyl fluoroformate using the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation.

The specific rates of solvolysis of ethyl fluoroformate have been measured at 24.2 degrees C in 21 pure and binary solvents. These give a satisfactory correlation over the full range of solvents when the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation is applied.
