| Summary |
"Benzyl chloride is a moderately reactive halide. Substitution of the Cl⁻ by other nucleophiles, e.g., HO⁻, AcO⁻, S₂O₃⁻, Br⁻ etc. proceeds almost quantitatively in solutions at convenient temperatures...The object of this study was to investigate if the less basic ṯ-butoxide in ṯ-butyl alcohol would afford the same product, viz., stilbene; and, if so, by what mechanism. A study of the products and kinetics of the interaction between benzyl chloride and potassium ṯ-butoxide in ṯ-butyl alcohol therefore has been initiated"--Introduction, leaf 1. |
