Grunwald−Winstein Relations in the Solvolyses of Highly Congested Simple Secondary and Tertiary Alkyl Systems. Evidence for the Brønsted Base-Type Solvation in the Standard 1- and 2-Adamantyl Systems
crowded tertiary alkyl chlorides having a neopentyl or a (1-adamantyl)methyl substituent on the reaction center were subjected to solvolysis rate studies, and the Grunwald–Winstein (GW) type relationship with respect to the YCl scale was examined. Analyses of the plots showed that these bulky substituents efficiently preclude the nucleophilic solvent participation from the rear side and that the data points
