Thermokinetic investigation of the reaction of acetyl chloride with different alcohol types — Part II

The ethanolysis of acetyl chloride has been compared to the methanolysis and the hydrolysis, as well as to the reaction with n-propanol, n-butanol and n-pentanol in acetone and in toluene, to reveal chain-length effects. Pentanol, heptanol and nonanol have been included as well in the investigation, but at lower concentrations. Structural influences on the alcoholysis of acetyl chloride have been studied with the isomeric C3 and C4-alcohols in acetone and in toluene. Furthermore, alcoholysis of acetyl chloride with some C7-alcohols and the reaction of benzoyl chloride with different types of alcohols have been investigated.
