Methanesulfonic Acid Derivative of N-Alkyl Aniline : Basicity of Aniline and Reactivity

Abstract

Effect of N-alkyl substituents on the formation and hydrolysis rates of N-substituted aniline methanesulfonic acid derivatives were investigated in connection with substituted aniline derivatives. Their rates were satisfactorily correlated to the basicity of aniline derivatives which was corrected by hydration effect, that is Folkers, et al.'s H value.
