Abstract

The influence of a number of electrolytes on the micellar effect of cetyltrimethylammoniurn bromide (CTAB) in the hydrolysis ofp-nitrophenyl acetate (1) and bis(p-nitrophenyl) methylphosphonate (2) and in the course of the acid-base dissociation of thep-nitroanilide of bis(chloromethyl)phosphinic acid (3) has been examined. The activity of the salts studied increases in the following order: MeCOOK<K2CO3<KCl<KBr<KNO3<p-MeC6H4SO3K. It has been found that in the presence of electrolytes the catalytic effect of CTAB micelles in the hydrolysis reactions of esters1 and2 decreases, and the pK a value of anilide3 increases. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of the pseudophase model of micellar catalysis. The analysis of the experimental data carried out using logarithmic coordinates revealed a relationship between phase transitions in micellar catalysis and in micellization.
