Notes:
As a rebuttal to recent criticisms aimed at the mechanistic significance of the determination of the mesitylene/durene relative reactivity, it is argued that this ratio does provide reliable information about the structure of the transition state of many SEAr reactions, supporting the operation of the ‘conventional’ ionic mechanism, as opposed to the ET mechanism. Not even in the case of competitive experiments does it appear that the criticisms are justified.
