Abstract
The synthesis of the title compound by a three-step procedure is described. The hydrolysis kinetics, which involve two consecutive psuedo-first-order processes, are also described. The synthesis and kinetics experiments described here are proposed for incorporation into undergraduate laboratory courses under a variety of formats. The compound described here is related to a toxic metabolite of the common analgesics acetaminophen and phenacetin.

Jorg Klausen , Markus A. Meier and Rene P. SchwarzenbachJournal of Chemical Education1997 74 (12), 1440An integrated experiment is proposed for an upper level under-graduate environmental chemistry laboratory. Using 2,4-dinitrophenylacetate (DNPA) as an example, the mechanisms of the abiotic hydrolysis of carboxylic esters are presented and the kinetic ...
