ACETONYLATION AROMATIQUE HOMOLYTIQUE
Gardrat, C.
, p. 897 - 902 (2007/10/02)
Treatment of monosubstituted benzene derivatives with acetone and manganese(III) acetate in acetic acid gave rise to products of homolytic aromatic substitution in fairly good yields and high purity except for toluene.Isomer distribution, relative rates and partial rate factors were determeined for toluene, anisole, chlorobenzene, bromobenzene and benzonitrile.A Hammet plot of the logarithm of the partial rate factors for meta and para positions vs. ?-constants gave a slope ρ of -1.74 +/- 0.40 (confidence interval at the level 95percent).When using ?+-constants the slope becomes ρ+ = -1.25 +/- 0.36.The negative velues of ρ and ρ+ indicated that the acetonyl radical has an appreciable electrophilic character.
