N2  - The rate of decomposition of p-nitrophenyl acetate, pnpa, has been measured in benzene solutions of a series of alkylammonium propionates, CH3(CH2),NH3+ -O2CCH2CH3 (where n = 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11), and a series of dodecylammonium carboxylates, CH3(CH2)11NH3+ -O2C(CH2)mCH3 where m = 1, 2, 6 or 7). The micellar rate constant is affected by the alkyl chain length. The bimolecular rate constant is affected by both the chain length and the acidity of the head-groups. The reactivity of longer chain esters with dodecylammonium propionate is markedly less than that of pnpa.
