Abstract

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of benzohydroxamic acid have been investigated in hydrochloric, sulphuric and perchloric acids in 10% (v/v) dimethyl sulphoxide—water at 55 °C. Activation parameters were also determined. Rate correlation by the Cox—Yates excess acidity method shows an A-2 mechanism involving rapid pre-equilibrium protonation of the substrate followed by rate-limiting attack of water at the carbonyl carbon atom to form a tetrahedral intermediate which collapses, in a fast step, to the products.
