The specific rates of solvolysis of trimethylsilylmethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate have been measured at 25.0° C in ethanol, methanol, and 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and their mixtures with water. Determinations were also made in aqueous acetone and in TFE- ethanol mixtures. An extended (two-term) Grunwald-Winstein equation correlation gave sensitivities towards changes in solvent nucleophilicity and solvent ionising power as ...
