Notes:
Solvolysis rate constants in MeOH and t-BuOh are compared for β-methyl and β-phenyl derivatives of two cycloakyl systems. It appears that the β-phenyl derivatives solvolyse at te same rate as the β-methyl ones. The lack of deceleration is attributed to phenyl assistance. It is established by configurational analysis of the reaction products, that those products which necessarily originate from a cationic species are the most abundant ones. It is suggested that these reactions could proceed through ion-pair intermediates, which are nucleophilically solvated by phelyl or by the solvent. A parallel between phenyl assistance and ‘SN2 (intermediate)’ mechanism, suggested by Bentely & Schleyer, is drawn.
