Mechanism of solvolysis of substituted benzyl chlorides in aqueous ethanol
Denegri, Bernard,Mati?, Mirela,Va?ko, Monika

The mechanism of solvolyses of activated ortho-, meta- and para-substituted benzyl chlorides in aqueous ethanol has been studied by using the Hammett-Brown and Yukawa-Tsuno treatments as well as by correlating logarithms of solvolysis rate constants with relative stabilities of corresponding benzyl carbocations in water calculated at the IEFPCM-M06–2X/6-311+G(3df,3pd) level of theory. Benzyl chlorides containing strong conjugative electron-donors in the para-position solvolyze by the SN1 mechanism, whereas other activated benzyl chlorides solvolyze by the SN2 mechanism via loose transition states.

A new method for the nucleophilic substitution of alcohols and carboxylic acids using aromatic tropylium cation activation has been developed. This article reports the use of chloro tropylium chloride for the rapid generation of alkyl halides and acyl chlorides under very mild reaction conditions. It demonstrates, for the first time, the synthetic potential of tropylium cations in promoting chemical transformations.

Reaction of aromatic hydrocarbons catalyzed by a novel catalytic system consisting of zinc chloride, acetic acid, sulfuric acid and PEG-800 in aqueous media under PTC conditions results in chloromethylation in good to excellent yield.
