ResumoThe Hammett equation is directly applicable to ortho-substituted benzene reaction series in which reaction site and benzene ring are separated by some group Z, apparently due to the absence of steric effects in these series. The σ p values are used in the correlations. Fourteen ortho-substituted benzene reaction series have been correlated. The electrical effect of a substituent in the ortho position is found to be about 0.75 times its effect in the para position. The effect of the side-chain Z in the transmission of substituent effects is OCH 2 > SCH 2 > CH = CH > SeCH 2 > CH 2 CH 2 .
