Abstract

The pi-donating effects of pi-acceptors in R-substituted benzylic cations, R=CF3, H and OCH3 were studied theoretically using isodesmic hydride transfer reactions. It is found that the deletion energy and natural resonance theory (NRT) analyses were useful tools for studying the pi-donating effects of pi-accepting substituents.
