KINETIC STUDIES ON METHYL-BIS-β-CHLOROETHYLAMINE: V. THE REACTIONS IN VARIOUS ACID SOLUTIONS
The hydrolysis of the quaternary ammonium salts of methyl-bis-β-chloroethylamine is inhibited by both hydrogen ions and chloride ions. I he kinetics of hydrolysis in various anion solutions suggest that reaction occurs by direct attack at the β-chlorine atoms by hydroxyl ion.
