Dv. Prabhu et Nb. Laxmeshwar, KINETIC-STUDY OF HYDROLYSIS OF N-SALICYLIDENE-O-METHYLANILINE SPECTROPHOTOMETRICALLY, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 72(5), 1995, pp. 323-326
Kinetics of hydrolysis of the Schiff base, N-salicylidene-o-methylanil
ine (HL) have been studied in the pH range 3.57-12.65 in the temperatu
re range 29-45 degrees, A rate profile diagram of pH vs rate constant,
shows a rate minimum in the pH range 6.30-12.00 and reaches a plateau
at pH > 12.30. Suitable reaction mechanisms have been suggested for t
he hydrolyses of the Schiff base in acidic, neutral and basic media, F
rom the effect of temperature on the rate, various thermodynamic param
eters have been evaluated.
