The second-order rate constants have been measured over a range of temperatures for the proton-transter reactions from di-(4-nitrophenyl)methane to ethoxide, isopropoxide, and t-butoxide ions in solvents consisting of the corresponding alcohols containing 10% toluene by volume. The activation parameters ΔH≠ and ΔS≠ have been calculated and an interpretation of them is given in terms of solvation effects during the activation process. A comparison between the activation parameters for proton transfers and E2 olefin-forming β-elimination reactions is made and discussed with respect to transition state character of the latter reactions.
