Abstract

Ten 3-hydroxy-1-(X-phenyl)-3-phenyltriazines have been synthesized, and kinetics of their solvolysis have been measured in 40% (v/v) ethanol and sulphuric acid. The concept of kinetic acidity function has been generalized, its construction has been suggested, and the procedure has been applied to the solvolysis of 3-hydroxy-1,3-diphenyltriazenes. The kinetic acidity function found has been confronted with the H0 acidity function. The substituent effects have been evaluated with respect to mechanism of the acid catalyzed solvolysis.
