- 5) [38]. Tidwell et al. explored the influence of a CF3 group on the solvolysis reaction of various benzylic sulfonate derivatives [39][40]. They found a linear free-energy relationship between the solvolysis rate of sulfonate 13f in different solvents compared to the one of 2-adamantyl tosylate
- , the latter being known to undergo solvolysis via the formation of a carbenium ion. Hence, the formation of a highly destabilized α-(trifluoromethyl)carbenium ion 14fOTs was established as the rate-limiting step in the solvolysis reactions of 13f (Scheme 6). Furthermore, the authors determined a kCH3
- /kCD3 ratio of 1.54, highlighting an isotopic effect consistent with a solvolysis mechanism involving a carbenium ion (kCH3/kCD3 = 1.48 for 2-methyl-2-adamantyl tosylate). Also, kH/kCF3 = 2⋅105 was established, illustrating the retarding α-CF3 effect in the production of a carbenium ion [41]. In the

Additionally, solvolysis rates were far greater than expected for primary and strained secondary systems. To account for these facts, it has been suggested that there are common cationic
