Hydrophobicity and kinetic inspection of hydroxide ion attack on some chromen-2-one laser dyes in binary aqueous–methanol and aqueous–acetone mixtures: Initial state-transition state analysis
In the present study, reactivity base-catalyzed hydrolysis of 7-dimethylamino-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (DMAC) and 7-diethylamino-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (DEAC) in binary aqueous–methanol and aqueous–acetone mixtures was examined at 298 K. Kinetic results, rate laws and reaction mechanisms were established. Moreover, the change in the activation energy barrier of the investigated compounds from water to water–methanol and water–acetone mixtures was estimated from the kinetic data. Base-catalyzed hydrolysis ... Read more
