Abstract
(N-Cl)-alcoholamines decompose in aqueous medium through two main reac tion paths: an intramolecular elimination and a fragmentation. Both me chanisms take place following a pre-equilibrium deprotonation of the b eta-hydroxyl group of the (N-Cl)-compound. Evidences for both pathways are given and a very high effective molarity (EM=0.2 . 10(6) M) is re ported for the intramolecular process. (C) 1997, Elsevier Science Ltd.
