Abstract
This paper describes an addition to a previously published experiment in which NMR is used to follow the kinetics of the reaction of trifluoroacetic acid with alcohols. A variable temperature accessory is used to determine the energy of activation and reaction order with respect to the alcohol concentration. Students are asked to correlate steric factors with reactivity based on experimental results.

Wei Li, Jianchang Li, Yuchuan Wu, Nathan Fuller and Michelle A. MarkusThe Journal of Organic Chemistry2010 75 (4), 1077-1086It has been widely accepted that both the protection of carbonyls and the deprotection of acetals and ketals involve the participation of a water molecule: formation of acetals and ketals is a dehydration process, whereas the deprotection is often ...
An Esterification Kinetics Experiment That Relies on the Sense of Smell
Deborah C. Bromfield-Lee and Maria T. Oliver-HoyoJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (1), 82An Esterification Kinetics Experiment That Relies on the Sense of Smell
Deborah C. Bromfield-Lee and Maria T. Oliver-HoyoJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (1), 82This experiment involves an esterification synthesis to study reaction kinetics where students explore these topics utilizing the sense of smell rather than the traditional approach of using spectroscopic methods. Students study the effects of various ...

Assessing the Fate of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Environments: Mechanism and Kinetics of Hydrolysis of a Carboxylic Ester
Jorg Klausen , Markus A. Meier and Rene P. SchwarzenbachJournal of Chemical Education1997 74 (12), 1440Assessing the Fate of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Environments: Mechanism and Kinetics of Hydrolysis of a Carboxylic Ester
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 ...
