Abstract
Solvolyses of 2-phenylethyl benzenesulfonates have been studied in methanol-water mixtures. Cross interaction constants, ρYZ, between substituents Y in the substrate and Z in the leaving group indicated somewhat closer distance between the two substituents than expected for the reaction system, which supported the involvment of phenyl group assisted pathway in the solvolysis. A smaller magnitude of ρYZ for MeOH was interpreted as the enhencement of solvent assisted pathway since MeOH is more nucleophilic than H2O. Other selectivity parameters, Winstein coefficient m, Hammett's ρ+Y and ρZ, as well as activation parameters supported the participation of aryl assisted and aryl unassisted pathways in the SN2 process of the solvolysis reaction.
