Effect of solvent polarity on the rate of ozone reaction with unsaturated compounds

Abstract The effect of the polarity of seven solvents (ϵ ≈ 2–60) on the rate of ozone reactions with stilbene and allyl chloride has been studied. The data show that the rate of the reaction is insensitive to the medium polarity. The results of earlier publications are revised and are shown to be in agreement with the present data.
