Sažetak

The mechanism of solvolysis of activated and deactivated benzyl bromides in 80 % ethanol at 25 °C has been investigated by using the Yukawa-Tsuno treatment and by correlating measured kinetic data with relative stabilities of corresponding benzyl carbocations calculated at the IEFPCM-M06-2X/6-311+G(3df,3pd) level of theory. Both correlation methods demonstrate that only benzyl bromides substituted with strong para-π-donors solvolyze by the SN1 mechanism whereas other activated and deactivated substrates solvolyze by the SN2 mechanism.
