Rates of alcoholysis of A-ring substituted o-benzoylbenzoic acid chlorides with 10percent methanol, 10percent ethanol, 50percent isopropanol and 50percent cyclohexanol in acetone medium have been measured.The Hammett ρ-values range from -2.2 to -0.76.These results have been interpreted as evidence for transition states which vary gradually in their degree of charge separation and have features of both SN1 and SN2 reactions.
