## Abstract Kinetic evidence is presented to demonstrate that α‐acylamino esters and N‐acyl‐dipeptide esters exhibit unusually high reactivities toward neutral and alkaline hydrolysis. The authors infer that the same must be true for other typical chymotrypsin substrates such as dipeptide amides, h

Abstract
Comparative rate studies are presented on the choline‐esterasecatalyzed hydrolysis of selected synthetic substrates. Taken in conjunction with previous work on non‐enzymatic hydrolysis, the present results provide new evidence that factors other than molecular shape are essential in determining substrate specificities, one important feature being the availability, on the substrate level, of pathways involving anchimeric participation of neighbouring groups during nucleophilic attack on the ester carbonyl. It is suggested that nucleophilic catalysis is a rate determining step in choline‐esterasecatalyzed hydrolysis.
