Notes:
Rates, Arrhenius parameters, and Hammett substituent constants are obtained for the gas-phase thermal elimination of ethyl benzoate (1) and ethyl 2 - thienyl - (2), 3 - thienyl - (3), 2 - furyl - (4), 3 - furyl - (5), 4 - pyridyl - (6), 3 - pyridyl - (7), and 2 - pyridylcarboxylate (8) esters. The log A/s-1 and the Ea/kJ mol-1 values of these esters averaged 13.60 and 216.3, respectively. The present results are compared with data previously reported for the corresponding isopropyl and t-butyl analogues, and the findings are rationalized in terms of a plausible transition state for the elimination pathway. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
