Abstract

Rates and isomer distribution for the transformation of four N- chloramines to the nuclear substituted chloro anilines have been studied in acetic acid (99% v/v)., containing hydrochloric acid or toluene-p-sulfonic acid as promoters of the change. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to toluene-p-sulfonic acid and also first order with respect to N-chloro compound. The effect of hydrochloric acid concentration has also been studied and an explanation is put forward to account for the details of the course of the reaction.
