Abstract	Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of substituted phenyl acetates with butane-2,3-dione monoximate and p-chlorophenoxide anions in MeCN-H2O mixtures of varying compositions. The reaction rate, unexpectedly, decreased remarkably upon initial additions of MeCN to H2O up to 30-40 mole % MeCN, and followed by a gradual increase upon further additions of MeCN. The change in solvent composition also influenced the magnitude of the α-effect, i.e., the α-effect increased as the mole % MeCN increased. The solvent dependent α-effect for the present system appears to indicate that the differential solvation between the α-effect nucleophile and the corresponding normal nucleophile is not solely responsible but the difference in the transition-state stabilization is also responsible for the α -effect in organic solvent-rich region.
