eters determined from reactivities in the aromatic series are used t o correlate the effects of corresponding substituents in the aliphatic series. This usage completes a cycle wherein inductive effects from the aliphatic series (01 parameters) have been used to evaluate from aromatic series reactivities (equation ( l ) ) , the resonance parameter, UR-. This parameter is now applied to the correlation of resonance effects in the aliphatic series.

where U- is the dual Hamniett sigma value which pertains to the reactions of p-substituted derivatives of aniline and phenol,3and UI is the inductive substituent constant.2 The UR - values provide a scale of the powers of substituent groups to delocalize negative charge by conjugation. Useful applicability of the scale to certain nucleophilic reactivities is suggested by the correlation of the rates of carbanion formation of substituted methanes in water a t 25’ by the equation log kl

The term log n~ is a statistical correction term, n~ being the number of ionizable H atoms. The rate constants, k l , are those tabulated by Pearson and Dil10n.~ The correlation, shown in Fig. 1, holds over a spread of rates of eight powers of ten with an average deviation of 0.25 log unit. This is quite satisfactory since the precision of UR- values is no better than 10.03. Figure 1 shows a plot of log ( k l / n ~ us. ) the quantity (26.0)OR(~.O)~UI. The full line is one of unit slope. The term (4.O)z1~1presumes t o measure the inductive contribution, and the term (26.0)UR-, the resonance contribution to the logarithm of the ionization rate. The enormous (and therefore rather crude) constant for susceptibility to resonance interaction, 26.0 (compared to 4.0 for susceptibility t o inductive interaction), indicates that a much greater stabilization by resonance than inductive interaction results from the substitution of conjugated groups directly a t the carbanion carbon compared to the corresponding interactions of these groups acting through the ring system of p-substituted benzene derivatives. Equation (2) is unique in that resonance param-

It has been assumed in using equation ( 2 ) that values for the substituents Br, C1, and CH3 (in the presence of a single conjugating group such as NO,, CH3C0, CH3S02,or CN) are zero, and that the former substituents contribute only to the ZUI term. If equation ( 2 ) is applied to polysubstitution of conjugating substituents (using ZUR-) substantial deviations are obtained (Table I lists some typical deviations). UR-

It is apparent from Table I that steric inhibition of resonance (and possibly other steric effects) of the second by the first conjugated substituent (and b y bulky substituents, e.g., Br, CH3) contributes appreciably to the failure of equation ( 2 ) . For example, the rate of ionization of dinitromethane is twelve powers of ten slower than predicted by equation (2). On the other hand, the

sterically more conipact CN groups of CH2(CN)s lead to a deviation of only 1.5 powers of ten greater rate, according to equation (a),than that observed. The results listed in Table I also suggest that saturation of resonance stabilization in the ionization state contributes to the failure of equation (2) since the deviations increase with increasing values of 2 U R - . 5
