Charge-transfer complexes in organic chemistry. Part VII. Influence of charge-transfer complexes on the quaternisation of triethylamine by tetrachlorophthalic anhydride

Abstract

The kinetic effect of extra donor molecules on the reaction of tetrachlorophthalic anhydride with triethylamine was examined in different solvents. The inhibition, observed in every case, may arise from association effects and from factors modifying the rate constant. The reactivity of the complex of donors with tetrachlorophthalic anhydride is briefly discussed.
