Abstract

The rates of the base-catalysed elimination of a series of p-substituted-β- phenylmercaptoethyl chlorides and the corresponding oxygen analogues have been determined both in t-butanol containing potassium t-butoxide and in ethanol containing sodium ethoxide. The rates of the E2 reaction of the sulphur compounds are found to be 102– 103 times as great as those of the corresponding oxygen analogues in both media. These ...
