Abstract	The solvolysis rate constants of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chloroformate (Cl3CCH2OCOCl, 3) in 30 different solvents are well correlated with the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, using the NT solvent nucleophilicity scale and the YCl solvent ionizing scale, with sensitivity values of 1.28 ± 0.06 and 0.46 ± 0.03 for l and m, respectively. The activation enthalpies (ΔH≠) are 10.1 to 12.8 kcal·mol−1 and the activation entropies (ΔS≠) are −27.8 to −36.8 cal·mol−1·K−1, which is consistent with the proposed bimolecular reaction mechanism. The kinetic solvent isotope effect (kMeOH/kMeOD) of 2.39 is also in accord with SN2 mechanism probably assisted by general-base catalysis.
