Popis: | The temperature coefficients of the enthalpy of activation [Formula: see text] for the hydrolysis of the three chlorosulfates, methyl, ethyl, and β-chloro, are shown to have values of −50,−55, and −60 cal deg−1 mol−1; values in the same range as previously reported for the hydrolysis of the sulfonyl chlorides. The corresponding value for the β-methoxy isomer was −40 cal deg−1 mol−1, about the same as found for the p-methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride. The kinetic solvent isotope effect, however, was significantly lower than reported for the sulfonyl chloride series, being about the same as found for the hydrolysis of the alkyl halides. While some degree of nucleophilic overlap is probably required in the activation process, the requirement here is reduced to about the same level as that for the primary halides, and there is no need to postulate a different mechanism on passing from the methyl to the ethyl member of the series, confirming the earlier conclusion of Buncel and Millington. |
