Kinetisch onderzoek over de verzeeping van tertiairbutylesters van eenvoudige aliphatische dicarbonzuren

This thesis deals with the hydrolysis of the tert. butyl esters of some paraffin a-w-dicarboxylic acids. This investigation was occasioned by the work of Ingold concerning the alkaline hydrolysis of the corresponding methyl and ethyl esters in very dilute aqueous solution. Ingold pointed out that the ratio k1/k2 he found for the esters, beginning with the succinate, is approximately only a function of the external field of the ionic centre in het mono-ester anion. Thus the internally propagated polar effects and steric influences arising from the differences between a neutral ester and the similar ionic ester are negligible. ... Zie: Summar
