Summary
The kinetics of the reaction between benzyl chloride and anhydrous formic acid have been examined at 80, 90 and 100°. The velocity of the reaction decreases with increase in concentration of benzyl chloride in formic acid. The observed rate of the reaction is much slower than that calculated from the observed heat of activation; a possible explanation of the tardiness activated from present only in traces.
