• A direct relationship was found between these processes for a specific set
of compounds, the p- and m-substituted benzoic
! acids (R=Ar).

• Why do ortho isomers and aliphatic compounds not exhibit the straight line
relationship?
• Steric considerations:
– Crowding is increased in the tetrahedral transition state for o-isomers.

• Example: p-CN and p-NO2 are above the line; this suggests that
compounds with these substituents act as stronger acids than we
would have predicted from their ! values.

– Any new pathway coming into play must be faster than the original
pathway, or the original pathway would continue to dominate.
