Thermokinetic investigation of the reaction of acetyl chloride with different alcohol types - Part II

The ethanolysis of acetyl chloride has been compared to the methanolysis an d the hydrolysis, as well as to the reaction with n-propanol, n-butanol and n-pentanol in acetone and in toluene, to reveal chain-length effects. Pent anol, heptanol and nonanol have been included as well in the investigation, but at lower concentrations. Structural influences on the alcoholysis of acetyl chloride have been studi ed with the isomeric C-3 and C-4-alcohols in acetone and in toluene. Furthe rmore, alcoholysis of acetyl chloride with some C-7-alcohols and the reacti on of benzoyl chloride with different types of alcohols have been investiga ted.
