24. 0) vs σ for the data for substrates 12a, b, and d shows a break in slope at the data point for 12a, with a strongly negative slope (ρ = -10.5) to 12b and a moderately negative slope (ρ = -1.9) to 12d. The break in slope is suggestive of a change in mechanism upon proceeding from substrates bearing electron-donating substituents (12b) to substrates bearing electron-withdrawing subsituents (12d).

25. 0) vs σ for the data for substrates 12a, f, and h shows a break in slope at the data point for 12a, with a negative slope (ρ = -1.62) to 12f and a slightly positive slope (ρ = +0.05) to 12h. Again, the break in slope is suggestive of a change in mechanism upon proceeding from substrates bearing electron-donating substituents (12f) to substrates bearing electron-withdrawing subsituents (12h).
