Abstract

A kinetic and synthetic study of the nucleophilic displacement reaction of bromide ion with benzyl chloride (la) and its p-ethyl-substituted (lb) and pn-dodecyl-substituted (IC) analogues has been performed in mi-croemulsions prepared from combinations of a 1.23: l (w/w) mixture (S) of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr) and 1-butanol, a 1: 5 (w/w) KBr-H20 solution (W), and hexane (0). The rates of reaction decreased differentially with ...
