Abstract
Methyl esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids are shown to hydrolyse by the AAc2 mechanism in 76·88% sulphuric acid and, with the exception of those containing halogens, by the AAc1 mechanism in 95·90% sulphuric acid. The Taft equation, log (k/k0)=σ*ρ*+Es, using Es values obtained from kinetic data in dilute acid, gives linear plots in each case.
