Abstract

2 mechanism, Ki-netic solvent isotope effectChloroformate esters (ROCOCl, 1) are known to hydro-lyse much more slowly than other acyl chlorides (RCOCl).Initial-state stabilization through π-electron resonance (2)has been suggested to be responsible for the decreasedreactivity of 1, since such resonance interaction is notpossible for RCOCl.
