Abstract
The acid-catalyzed alcoholysis of 1-methylheptyl nitrite has been studied kinetically. The reaction rate is first order with respect to both the nitrite and the hydrogen ion concentration, and the reaction does not involve the asymmetric carbon center. Addition of lithium salts (chloride and perchlorate) indicates catalysis by chloride ion. Addition of water in low concentrations inhibits the reaction strongly. These results and the mechanism of the reactions are discussed in terms of the properties of the alcohols and the dissociation of the acid catalysts in the alcohols used.
