Abstract

AbstractAliphatic and aromatic primary amides react with triphenyl methanol in the presence of small amounts of sulfuric acid in acetic acid, and N‐triphenylmethyl amides are obtained in good yields. The products are cleaved by acids. The decomposition of four N‐trityl amides was studied in various mixtures of acetic acid‐sulfuric acid, and the correlations between the logarithms of the observed first‐order rate coefficients, the concentration of the sulfuric acid, and the acidity functions HO and HA were studied. The kinetic data support a unimolecular rate‐determining step for the solvolysis.
