The rates of alkaline hydrolysis of some aromatic organic carbonates have been determined at various temperatures. The values obtained for the enthalpies and entropies of activation suggest that the kinetic acceleration observed in the hydrolysis of cyclic carbonates originates from a combination of both enthalpy strain and entropy strain.
