2. A 10 mL acetic acid solution containing 0.10 M 5-nonanol, 0.10 M substituted 1-phenylethanol and 0.10 M chlorobenzene was divided into two 5.0 mL aliquots. One aliquot was stirred with 0.70 mL bleach at 21°C for 30 min. Both aliquots were worked up by adding 10 mL of water and 10 mL of CH2Cl2. The CH2Cl2 layer was separated and washed with 10% aqueous sodium carbonate. Relative areas were measured by GC and relative reactivities were calculated by krel=log (rel. area At/rel. area A0)/log (rel. area Bt/rel. area B0) where A is substituted 1-phenylethanol and B is 5-nonanol.
3. The relative reactivity was corrected by kcorr=krel/[1+(rel. area of ring chlorinated compounds)/(rel. area of ketone)].
