The influence of solvent and the structure of alcohol on the rate of its acid-catalyzed (HCl) addition to butyl vinyl ether was studied at 25 deg C in a mixture of the reacting alcohol with a solvent (1:4 by volume).The electrophilic attack of the substrate by solvated proton in the rate-determining stage is accompanied and facilitated by the simultaneous attack of the alkoxide ion on the resulting carboxonium center, i.e., the alcohol molecule participates in formation of the transition state.
