The rates of substitution of the group X in 1‐X‐2‐naphthol‐6‐sulfonic acids (X = H, Cl, Br, and I) by p ‐chlorobenzenediazonium ions in aqueous solution have been measured. The rates of the halogenated naphthols relative to that of the parent compound (X = H) are 0.0070:0.0089:0.149 for X = Cl, Br, and I respectively. The reaction of 1‐bromo‐2‐naphthol‐6‐sulfonic acid is catalysed by thiosulfate ions; the relative rate observed for this compound does not, therefore, represent the ipso factor. It is postulated that in its substitution the release of the electrofugal leaving group (Br ⊕ ) is rate‐limiting.
