Abstract

2, 3, 3, 4, 4-Pentamethyl-2-chloropentane (XII) was found to solvolyze in 93% aqueous acetone at 25" with the specific first-order rate constant of 2.92 X sec.-l to form 2, 3, 3, 4, 4- pentamethyl-l-pentene (XI). No fragmentation was observed. 2, 2, 3, 4, 4-Pentamethyl-3- chloropentane (V) solvolyzed in 80% aqueous ethanol at 25'with the specific first-order rate constant of 1.725 X sec.-l. In 70% aqueous dioxane the solvolytic products of the latter ...
