MOLECULAR-ORGANIZATION OF REAGENTS IN KINETICS AND CATALYSIS OF LIQUID-PHASE REACTIONS .4. BIFUNCTIONAL CATALYSIS OF AMINOLYSIS OF P-NITROPHENYLMETHYLCARBONATE

The regularities of bifunctional catalysis of the n-butylaminolysis of p-nitrophenylmethylcarbonate are studied in benzene in the presence o f acetic acid, n-butanol, phenylbutylbutylphenylurethane, and N,N-diph enyldibutylurea. In all cases, the active form of the catalyst is its monomer. Unlike a noncatalytic process, in which dimeric and trimeric forms of the amine participate, the order of the catalytic reaction de creases by one, which attests to the substitution of the amine molecul e for the catalyst molecule in the structure of the ''microreactor'', in which the rearrangement of atoms and bonds occurs to form the final product.
