Correlation of the Rates of Solvolysis of Methyl Chloroformate with Solvent Properties
Dennis N. Kevill, Jong Chul Kim and Jin Burm Kyong
The specific rates of solvolyis of methyl chloroformate are very well correlated by the extended Grunwald–Winstein equation over a wide range of solvents; the pathway is believed to be predominantly addition–elimination, except that a positive deviation for solvolysis in 90% 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol suggests an 80% contribution from an ionisation mechanism.
