Structure-reactivity cross correlations in nucleophilic substitution: Isoparametricity and transition-state structure

Data are surveyed on cross correlations for nucleophilic substitution at benzoyl, benzyl, and benzhydryl carbon atoms. The cross correlation coefficients and isoparametric points are used to interpret the reaction mechanisms. Donetsk State University, 24 Universitetskaya ul., Donetsk 340055, Ukraine.
