Reaction of ethoxide with p-nitrophenyl benzenesulphonate. Catalysis and inhibition by alkali metal ions; contrast with p-nitrophenyl diphenylphosphinate
Abstract
In the reaction of p-nitrophenyl benzenesulphonate with ethoxide in ethanol, some alkali metals (Na+, K+, Cs+) cause a rate acceleration, while Li+ causes a rate retardation; the results are analysed in terms of interactions of metal ions with the ground state and the transition state of the reaction.
