Abstract

The alkaline hydrolysis of dicarboxylic esters have been studied in mixed solvent systems of dioxan-water and acetone-water. The two rate constants have been obtained by the Frost Schwemer method combined with the Laidler-Landskroner Transition state, the results are consistent with an ion dipole process for both steps. The results indicate that increasing distance between the carbethoxy groups leads to a limiting value for the ratio which for any given solvent composition range is not sensitive to specific influences.
