โฆ Synopsis
Hydrolysis reactions of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, and t-butyl benzenesulfinates were kinetically investigated. Rates of alkaline hydrolysis decrease with increasing steric effects (Me > Et > i-Pr > t-Bu), while the t-butyl ester is the most reactive in perchloric acid (t-Bu > Me > E t => i-Fr). The hydrolysis is faster in
HCl and HBr than in HC1O4, and the relative rates in the halide acids are not unusual (Me > Et > i-Pr t-Bu). The high reactivity of the t-butyl ester in HCIO, is ascribed to the reaction at the carbon via the A1 mechanism, while halide ions accelerate the hydrolysis by nucleophilic participation at sulfur.
