Solvolysis rates of isopropenyl chloroformate (3) in water, $D_2O$, $CH_3OD$ and in aqueous methanol, ethanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), acetone, 1,4-dioxane as well as TFE-ethanol at 10 ${^{\circ}C}$ are reported. Additional kinetic data for pure water, pure ethanol and 80%(w/w) 2,2,2-trifuoroethanol (T)-water (W) at various temperatures are also reported. These rates show the phenomena of maximum rates in specific solvents (30% (v/v) methanol-water and 20% (v/v) ethanol-water) and, variations in relative rates are small in aqueous alcohols. The kinetic data are analyzed in terms of GW correlations, steric effect, kinetic solvent isotope effects (KSIE), and a third order model based on general base catalysis (GBC). Solvolyses based on predominately stoichiometric solvation effect relative to medium solvation are proceeding in 3 and the results are remarkably similar to those for p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (4) in mechanism and reactivity.

The solvolysis rate constants of 3,4- (1) and 3,5-dimethoxybenzoyl (2) chlorides were measured in various pure and binary solvents at $25.0^{\circ}C$, and studied by application of the extended Grunwald-Winstein (G-W) equation, kinetic solvent isotope effect in methanolysis and activation parameters. The solvolysis of 1 was interpreted as the unimolecular pathway due to a predominant resonance effect from para-methoxy substituent like 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (3), while that of 2 was evaluated as the dual mechanism, with unimolecular or bimolecular reaction pathway according to the character of solvent systems (high electrophilic/nucleophilic) chosen, caused by the inductive effect by two meta-methoxy substituents, no resonance one. In the solvolyses of 1 and 2 with two $-OCH_3$ groups, the resonance effect of para-methoxy substituent is more important to decide the mechanism than the inductive effect with other corresponding evidences.

Reactions of n-propyl fluoroformate in a variety of pure and binary solvents have been studied at 40.0 {^{\circ}C}. The extended (two-term) Grunwald-Winstein equation has been applied to the specific rates of solvolysis of npropyl fluoroformate. The sensitivities (l = 1.80 ${\pm}$ 0.17 and m = 0.96 ${\pm}$ 0.10) to changes in solvent nucleophilicity and solvent ionizing power and the $k_F/k_{Cl}$ values are similar to those for solvolyses of n-octyl fluoroformate over the full range of solvents, suggesting that the addition step of an addition-elimination mechanism is ratedetermining. These observations are also compared with those previously reported for the corresponding chloroformate and fluoroformate esters.

The solvolyses of anthraquinone-2-carbonyl chloride (1) were studied kinetically in 27 pure and various mixed solvents. The analysis using the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation in the solvolyses of anthraquinone-2-carbonyl chloride (1) obtained the l value of $2.11{\pm}0.11$, the m value of $0.54{\pm}0.06$, and the correlation coefficient of 0.955. The solvolysis reaction of 1 might proceed via an associative $S_N2$ mechanism enhancing bond making than bond breaking in the transition state (TS). This interpretation is further supported by a relatively large solvent kinetic isotope effect (SKIE, 2.27).

Solvolyses of methanesulfonyl chloride in water, $D^2O$, $CH^3OD$, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, eth-anol and methanol are investigated at 25, 35 and $45^{\circ}C.$ The Grunwald-Winstein plot of first-order rate con-stants for the solvolytic react ion of methanesulfonyl chloride with YCl (based on 2-adamantyl chloride) shows marked dispersions into three separate lines for three aqueous mixtures with a small m value (m < 0.30), and shows a rate maximum for aqueous alcoholic solvents. Stoichiometric third-order rate constants, kww and kaa were calculated from the observed first-order rate constants and (kaw + kwa) was calculated from the kww and kaa values. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in water and methanol are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed and/or SAN/SN2 reaction mechanism for methanesulfonyl chloride solvolyses based on mass law and stoichiometric solvation effect studies.

Solvolyses of p-methoxyphenyl chloroformate in water, D2O, CH3OD, 50% D2O-CH3OD, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, ethanol and methanol are investigated at 25.0 ℃. Product selectivities are reported at 25 ℃ for a wide range of ethanol-water and methanol-water solvent compositions. The Grunwald-Winstein plots of first-order rate constants for p-methoxyphenyl chloroformate with YCl (based on 1-adamantyl chloride) show marked dispersions into three separate curves for the three aqueous mixtures with a small m value and a rate maximum for aqueous alcohol solvents. Third-order rate constants, kww, kaw, kwa and kaa were calculated from the observed kww and kaa values together with kaw and kwa calculated from the intercept and slope of the plot of 1/S vs. [alcohol]/[water]. The calculated rate constants, kcalc and mol % of ester agree satisfactorily with those of the observed rate constants, kobs and mol % of ester, supporting the stoichiometric solvation effect analysis. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in water and methanol are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed carbonyl addition-elimination.

Solvolyses of α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride in H₂O, D₂O, CH₃OD, 50% D₂O-CH₃OD, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, dioxane, ethanol and methanol are investigated at 25.0℃. The Grunwald-Winstein plots of first-order rate constants for α-methoxy- α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride with $Y_{Cl}$ show a dispersion phenomenon. Solvent nucleophilicity N has been shown to give considerable im-provement when it is added as an 1N term to the original Grunwald-Winstein for the solvolyses of α-methoxy- α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride. The dispersions in the Grunwald-Winstein correlations in the present studies are caused by solvent nucleophilicity. The magnitude of l and m values associated with a change of solvent composition predicts the associative $S_N2$ transition state. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in deuterated water and methanol are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed associative $S_N2$ or $S_AN$ mechanism for the of α-methoxy- α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride.

In this study, the solvolysis of cyclohexanesulfonyl chloride (1) was studied by kinetics in ethanol-water, methanol-water, acetone-water, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE)-water binary solvent systems. The rate constants were applied to the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, to obtain the values of m = 0.41 and l = 0.81. These values suggested $S_N2$ mechanism in which bond formation is more important than bond breaking in the transition state (TS). Relatively small activation enthalpy values (11.6 to $14.8kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}$), the large negative activation entropy values (-29.7 to $-38.7cal{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$) and the solvent kinetic isotope effects (SKIE, 2.29, 2.30), the solvolyses of the cyclohexanesulfonyl chloride (1) proceeds via the $S_N2$ mechanism.
