Abstract
The kinetic regularities of ethylene oxide and epichlorohydrin interac tion with acetic acid in the presence of bases are studied. An equatio n describing the dependence of the acetate catalytic activity on the i onic radius of a cation is derived. The mechanism of the chromium(III) acetate-catalyzed reaction is shown to be different from those of the reactions catalyzed by alkali metal or tetraalkylammonium acetates. A mathematical model for the process catalyzed by chromium(III) acetate is considered.
