Abstract
The major difference in the reaction rates of acidolysis of CL with phthalic and adipic acids on one hand, and azelaic, sebacic, and stearic acids on the other hand, is demonstrated. The opinion is advanced that the high efficiency of adipic acid in the reaction of addition of the first molecule of CL is due to its capacity for intramolecular autoprotonation and addition of the next molecules is due to the appearance of overall acid catalysis.
