Kinetics of protiodeacylation of mono- and di-acylmesitylenes in 89.8% sulphuric acid
Abstract
Rate and activation data have been obtained for the protiodeacylation in 89.8%(w/w) sulphuric acid of 10 alkyl mesityl ketones, with straight chain or branched chain alkyl groups, and of four diacylmesitylenes. The reactions have been analysed in terms of a sequence of two or three component ψ-first-order processes.
