Summary
-
1.
The kinetics of the reaction of benzylmercury chloride in carbon tetrachloride were studied.
-
2.
The reaction is of the first order (first with respect to iodine and zero with respect to the organomereury compound).
-
3.
In N,N-dimethylformamide, unlike carbon tetrachloride, the reaction mechanism is mixed. Additions of benzoyl peroxide accelerate the reaction.
