Substituent effects on the benzylic bond dissociation enthalpy in benzyl bromides (C - Br) and tert-butylbenzenes (C - CH3): A gas phase thermolysis and liquid phase photoacoustic study

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/a702724i

The bond dissociation enthalpies in a number of substituted benzyl bromides have been studied in the gas phase, using the toluene carrier technique, and in solution with photoacoustic calorimetry. Gas phase thermolysis with unsubstituted benzyl bromide gi
