The rate constants for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of substituted benzoyl chlorides with p-nitroaniline in such solvents as acetone, acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, etc. were conductometrically determined, and the activation thermodynamic parameters were also evaluated. In result, the reaction rates were faster in protic solvents than in aprotic solvent; in the solvents of similar property, the reaction rate in the solvent of the large dielectric constant was faster than that in the solvent of the small dielectric constant. Hammett plots in individual solvents showed the straight lines with positive slope; and we concluded that the reaction occurred via the addition-elimination mechanism
