Abstract
Dehydrobromination reactions of para-substituted 2-phenylethyl bromides, i.e., p-Y-C 6 H 4 CH 2 CH 2 Br (Y=NO 2 , Cl, H, OCH 3 ) have been examined in aqueous micelles of the functional surfactant N,N-dimethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-n-hexadexylammonium bromide (1) in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The kinetic experiments have been performed for a partially deprotonated nucleophilic head group. The variation of the overall first-order rate constant, k ψ , with concentration of 1 can be fitted to equations describing the micellar effect on the bimolecular reaction in the cationic micelle as well as acid-base and ion-exchange equilibria
