QUANTITATIVE REACTIVITY CORRELATIONS OF RING-SUBSTITUTED BENZYLMERCURIC CHLORIDE OZONOLYSIS

 

AMNARD TANTIVANICH

ABSTRACT: In a Hammett study, a number of m- and p- substituted benzylmercuric chlorides were allowed to compete in ozonation with benzylmercuric chloride. A linear correlation of Okamoto and Brown's + values gave a value of -0.378. The result supports a five-membered cyclic transition state between bezylmercuric chloride and its derivatives with O3 in which a small partial positive charge is developed at carbon.
