Conclusions
-
1.
Study has been made of the effect of pressures ranging up to 6000 kgf/cm2 on the bromination of ring-substituted toluenes by N-bromosuccinimide. Increase of pressure increases the rate of benzyl H atom detachment by Br atoms, the effect being most pronounced in systems in which the bromination rate at atmospheric pressure is low.
-
2.
A linear correlation has been established (for the first time) between the substituent a constant and the difference in the activation volume effects (ΔV ≠R -ΔV ≠T ) in the substituted and unsubstituted toluenes. It is clear that this difference in volume effects does not arise from solvation processes.
-
3.
The Hammett equation applies to the bromination of substituted toluenes by N-bromosuccinimide at all pressures, theρ value for any such reaction falling off sharply as the pressure rises.
