Abstract

The surface potential in aqueous micellar solutions of a series of cetyltrialkylammonium bromides containing a hydroxyalkyl fragment in the head group was determined with a spectral probe (p-nitrophenol). It was found that the catalytic effect exerted by these surfactants in solution on the base hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters is determined by two factors. First, the charged nucleophile is concentrated at the micelle surface. Second, hydrogen bonding of the substrate with the hydroxyalkyl substituents results in its activation.
