Abstract
The solvolysis rates of t-butyl chloride and methyl tosyla.te
were measured in various trimethoxyborane - methanol mixtures.
The ionizing power and the nucleophilicity for the respective
solvent mJxtures were determirrled, and the suitability of this new
solvent system for the study of solvolytic reactions is discussed.
At elevated temperatures a reaction of hydrogen chloride, liberated
in the solvolysis of t~butyl chloride, with the solvent was observed,
and the r esults seem to indicate that methyl chloride is the reaction
product.
