The free-radical chlorination and bromination of meta- and para-substituted benzyl fluorides and 1,1-difluoro-2-phenylethane and also the chlorination of 1-fluoro-2-arylethanes by phenylchloroiodonium chloride and the bromination of meta- and para-substituted benzyl bromides were studied by the method of competing reactions. In all cases a good correlation is observed between log k/sub rel/ and the Brown sigma/sup +/ constants. In cases where change in the reactivity in the transition from one reaction series to another is due mainly to the polar effect of the substituent while the selectivity is measured in relation to the polar effect direct relationships are observed between the reactivity and the selectivity.
