β¦ Synopsis
Phthalic anhydride was detected spectrophotometrically in the hydrolysis of o-carboxybenzohydroxamic acid (OCBA) in CH 3 CN-H 2 O solvent containing 0.03 mol dm Γ3 HCl. Pseudo-first-order rate constants (k 1 ) for hydrolysis of OCBA are almost independent of the change in CH 3 CN content from 10 to 80% (v/v) in mixed aqueous solvents. The rate constants k 1 are more than 10-fold larger than the corresponding rate constants for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. These observations are explained in terms of a mechanism slightly different from the mechanism for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. The activation parameters, DH* and DS*, are not affected appreciably by an increase in CH 3 CN content from 10 to 80% in mixed aqueous solvents.

Rate constants and products are reported for the aqueous decomposition (pH 0 Β± 14) of phenyl N-(phenoxycarbonyl)sulfamate (pK a 1.18) at 50 8C. The pH Β± rate profile indicates a rate law that includes three terms: two pH-independent terms, k a in acid and k p around neutral pH, with k a b k p , and
