What is Hammett Plot Analysis of Acid Chlorides about?
The Hammett plot for the hydrolysis of benzoic acid chlorides in aqueous acetone reveals two intersecting lines, indicating a change in reaction mechanism. The right side of the plot shows a slope of +2.5 for electron-withdrawing substituents, while the left side has a slope of -4.4 for electron-donating substituents, suggesting a faster SN1-like mechanism involving acylium ion formation for the latter. This indicates that the reaction mechanism shifts based on the nature of the substituents.
