Abstract

By using a conductometric method, the kinetics of the basic hydrolysis of benzyl benzoate in water-alcohol medium has been investigated. The second order rate constant follows the equation K = A exp {-E/RT} with A = 1.35·1010 l mol-1 min-1 and E = 14.5 kcal mol-1. A reaction mechanism is postulated, which is consistent with the experimental data.
