Mechanisms of Elimination Reactions. 6: The Kinetics of Dehydrochlorination of Various 2,2-Diarylchloroethanes.

摘要

A study of the kinetics of dehydrochlorination of fourteen para-substituted 2,2-diaryl-monochloro-, -dichloro-, and tri-chloroethanes with ethanolic sodium hydroxide at various temperatures has been conducted, and the energies and entropies of activation have been calculated. A discussion of the effects of increasing alpha chlorine substitution upon dehydrochlorination reactivities and upon the energies of activation is included. jg p.1.
