Abstract
Micellization ofn-decylamine in aqueous solution leads to substantial decrease in its pKa, and increase in its reactivity in the nucleophilic substitution ofp-nitrophenylic esters of carboxylic acids (up to 70 times compared to ethylamine which forms no micelles). The influence of cetylpyridinium bromide on the acid-base properties ofn-decylamine and its reactivity was investigated. It was found that the reaction withn-decylamine can be accelerated or retarded depending on the hydrophobicity of the esters. The quantitative characteristics of the mieellar catalytic processes were estimated.
