38. obsd for reaction of H-5 and MeO-5 is consistent with only a small inductive effect of the 4-MeO substituent on the reaction, and it shows that there is no significant movement of positive charge from the developing carbocation onto the aromatic ring [Brown, H.

61. 1-Br is too reactive to accumulate during the reaction of 1-Cl in the presence of NaBr because febsd values for reaction of tert-butyl bromide in mixed aqueous/organic solvents are ca, 40-fold larger than those for reaction of tert-butyl chloride under the same conditions [Harris, J. M.; Mount, D. L.; Smith, M. R.; Neal, W. C., Jr.; Dukes, M. D.; Raber, D. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1978, 100, 8147-8155].

86. The most careful correlation of these data is consistent with the conclusion that there is a small amount of nucleophilic assistance to the ionization of tert-butyl derivatives [Bentley, T. W.; Roberts, K. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2 1989, 1055-1060].
