Abstract

Summary The rate of the reaction between methanol and p-methoxybenzhydryl chloride in dilute nitrobenzene solution under irreversible conditions has been studied as a function of the methanol concentration from 0.07 to 0.21 M. There is a bimolecular reaction involving one molecule of the chloride and one of methanol and at the same time a trimolecular reaction involving one molecule of chloride and two of methanol. It is suggested that ...
