KINETICS OF REACTION OF TRIETHYLAMMONIUM CARBOXYLATES WITH ALPHA-HALOGENO CARBONYLCOMPOUNDS IN ORGANIC-SOLVENTS .3. EFFECT OF SOLVENTS ON THE REACTION OF PHENACYL BROMIDE WITH TRIETHYLAMMONIUM ACETATE By:PILLAY, MK (PILLAY, MK); MUTHULAKSHMI, B (MUTHULAKSHMI, B) INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY SECTION A-INORGANIC BIO-INORGANIC PHYSICAL THEORETICAL & ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY Volume: 31 Issue: 7 Pages: 427-431 Published: JUL 1992 View Journal Information Abstract Kinetics of the reaction of phenacyl bromide with acetic acid in the presence of triethylamine in aqueous acetone and in various solvents have been investigated. The rate constant of the reaction is 50 to 300 times higher in aprotic solvent than in protic solvents. The simple regression and multiple regression of log k2 with various solvent parameters have led to the conclusion that in addition to the solvent polarity, various other solvent properties simultaneously influence the reaction rate.
