Abstract
Alkaline hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate and of diphenyl (4-nitrophenyl) phosphate catalyzed by 2-iodosobenzenesulfonic and 2-iodoso-1-naphthalenesulfonic acids was studied in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide as the micellar agent. It was found that 2-iodosobenzenesulfonic acid is the better catalyst for the hydrolysis of phenyl acetate while 2-iodoso-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid is more efficient for the hydrolysis of the phosphate.
