Ly. Zakharova et al., The salt effect in the alkaline hydrolysis of O-ethyl O-(p-nitrophenyl) chloromethylphosphonate catalyzed by cetylpyridinium bromide, RUSS CHEM B, 47(10), 1998, pp. 1868-1872
The alkaline hydrolysis of O-ethyl O-(p-nitrophenyl) chloromethylphosphonat
e catalyzed by the micelles of cetylpyridinium bromide is inhibited on addi
tion of KCl, KBr, or sodium salicylate (NaSal). This is caused by both a de
crease in the nucleophile concentration in micelles owing to a reduction in
the surface potential and a change in the micellar structure and propertie
