Reactions of aryl diazonium salts and arylazo alkyl ethers. III. Substituent effects in the ionization of anti-arylazo ethyl ethers in ethanol

Abstract

A dual substituent parameter analysis of substituent effects on the ionization of anti-arylazo ethyl ethers in ethanol shows that the reaction is affected primarily by inductive effects. The reaction is insensitive to resonance effects and an explanation for this behaviour is offered.
