Abstract:

A quantitative structure-reactivity relationship (QSRR) study of the decarboxylation rates of 6-nitrobenzisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid (Kemp, D. S.; Paul, K. G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1975, 97, 7305). employing the CODESSA program correlates the effect of 24 solvents with theoretical descriptors to provide a straightforward interpretation of these solvent effects in terms of molecular parameters.
