Notes:
Substrates with neutral leaving groups undergo unimolecular solvolysis in nonpolar solvents. Whereas t-alkyl substrates invariably solvolyze by a unimolecular mechanism, s-alkyl and primary alkyl substrates can undergo both uni and bimolecular reactions, and the bimolecular step can take place on either the substrate itself or on an intimate ion-molecule pair formed in either a pre-equilibrium or in a rate determining step. Study of reactions at borderlines indicates that the individual reaction types remain distinct and do not merge.
