Popis: | Hammett free energy correlations are reported for the decomposition reactions of tetra-alkylammonium halides in chloroform and acetone solution. All the salts contained a substituted benzyl group attached to the nitrogen atom and decomposed to yield a benzyl iodide and dimethylaniline as the only products.The curved Hammett plots for para-substituted benzyl compounds are compared to the linear plot found previously for a series of salts each containing a para-substituted phenyl group, and it is concluded that curved Hammett plots cannot be used as evidence for a change of mechanism, unless direct conjugative effects between substituent and reaction site are absent. |
