Correlation between alkyl cation affinities and proton affinitiesa means to rationalise alkyl group substituent effects | ||

ABSTRACT: | ||
Using literature thermochemical data it is demonstrated that the known linear relationship between proton affinities and methyl cation affinities can be extended to other alkyl groups (ethyl, i-propyl, t-butyl). It is suggested that the slopes of the straight lines can be used to define a new set of alkyl substituent constants. | ||
Keywords: physical organic chemistry, substituent constant, inductive effect, Lewis acid |
