10. The negative sign of the Hammett ρ in this reaction can be rationalized by the formation of an ester in the rate determining step. The rate of an acid-catalyzed esterification is expected to be proportional to the nucleophilicity of the alcohol, which depends upon the electron-donor/acceptor ability of the substituents. See, H. H. Jaffe, Chem. Rev. 1953, 53, 191-261.
