In most solvents the values are essentially identical to those for ethyl and n-propyl chloroformates. However, in aqueous-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol mixtures (HFIP) rich in fluoroalcohol, 1 solvolyses appreciably faster than the other two substrates. Linear free energy relationship (LFER) comparison of the specific rates of solvolysis of 1 with those for phenyl chloroformate and those for n-propyl chloroformate are helpful in the mechanistic considerations, as is also the treatment in terms of the Extended Grunwald-Winstein equation. It is proposed that the faster reaction for 1 in HFIP rich solvents is due to the influence of a 1,2-methyl shift, leading to a tertiary alkyl cation, outweighing the only weak nucleophilic solvation of the cation possible in these low nucleophilicity solvents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms12021161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,15]],"date-time":"2011-02-15T17:43:34Z","timestamp":1297791814000},"page":"1161-1174","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Correlation of the Rates of Solvolysis of Neopentyl Chloroformate\u2014A Recommended Protecting Agent"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Malcolm J.","family":"D\u2019Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Wesley College, 120 N.
