H. Kutuk et al., Kinetics and mechanisms of the acid-catalyzed hydrolyses of N-(4-Substitued-arylsulfinyl)phthalimides, J PHYS ORG, 14(4), 2001, pp. 224-228
The acid-catalyzed hydrolyses of N-(4-substituted-arylsulfinyl)phthalimides
were studied in aqueous solutions of perchloric and sulfuric acids at 50.0
+/- 0.1 and of hydrochloric acid at 40.0 +/- 0.1 degreesC. Analysis of the
data by the Cox-Yates excess acidity method and substituent, temperature a
nd solvent isotope effects indicate hydrolysis by an A2 mechanism at low ac
idity. At higher acidities a changeover to an Al mechanism is observed. Cop
