Nucleophilic participation in the solvolysis of the -butyldimethylsulfonium ion

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that electrophilic assistance would be the dominant factor for t -butyl chloride solvolysis with the t -butyldimethylsulfonium ion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of the Rates of Solvolysis of the Benzhydryldimethylsulfonium Ion. Application of the Aromatic Ring Parameter(1).

TL;DR: Values for the specific rates of solvolysis of the benzhydryldimethylsulfonium ion in 34 solvents have been analyzed using various forms of the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, finding common-molecule return is observed and the product selectivities in ethanol-water mixtures are consistent with an S(N)1 mechanism.
