ENHANCEMENT OF THE CONJUGATIVE ELECTRON-RELEASING POWER OF THE HYDROXY-GROUP SHOWN BY THE KINETICS OF SOLVOLYSIS OF 2-BROMO-4-DIBROMOMETHYLPHENOL AND OF 2-BROMO-4-DIBROMOMETHYLANISOLE

The relative rates and kinetic forms for the solvolyses of 2-bromo-4-dibromomethylphenol and its methyl ether lead to a new estimate (?⁺=-1.6) of the electron-releasing power of the hydroxy-group.
