Summary

  1. 1.

    The kinetics of the reaction of benzylmercury chloride in carbon tetrachloride were studied.

  2. 2.

    The reaction is of the first order (first with respect to iodine and zero with respect to the organomereury compound).

  3. 3.

    In N,N-dimethylformamide, unlike carbon tetrachloride, the reaction mechanism is mixed. Additions of benzoyl peroxide accelerate the reaction.
