Abstract: | The dissociation constants (K1) of both acids 4a-c and esters 5a-c and the rate constants of the decarboxylation reaction of acids 4a-c have been measured at various high concentrations of hydrochloric acid (0.5-8.0 M range). The results obtained have enabled us to suggest the probable structure of the zwitterion which undergoes decarboxylation. |
