Novel catalytic effects in ester aminolysis in chlorobenzene

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Aug 14:(30):3817-9. doi: 10.1039/b504629g. Epub 2005 Jul 1.

Abstract

The mechanism of glyme catalyzed ester aminolysis in chlorobenzene should be modified by including a new reaction pathway that shows a first-order dependence on the concentration of the phase transfer catalyst and a second-order dependence on butylamine.
