Substituted benzhydryl hydroperoxides have been synthesized and rearranged using sulfuric acid as the catalyst and acetone as the solvent. The products have been analyzed in order to determine the migration aptitudes for the various aryl groups. A linear relationship exists between the log of the migration aptitude and the o+ values of the substituents. Ortho substituents deviate from this relationship but the extent of deviation is much smaller than expected. The migration aptitude of hydrogen versus phenyl in the rearrangement of benzhydryl hydroperoxide has been found to vary markedly depending on the solvent. These observations and their bearing upon the mechanism of the rearrangement are discussed.
