Examples of Rate Profiles

The same base-catalyzed mechanism accounts for the profile obtained in deuteriation of the 2-position of quinoline (Fig. 2.10), with the reaction occurring on the cation [7 JCS(B)4]. This mechanism is found at an ex- 

Another possible means for distinguishing between the normal mechanism and formation of covalent hydrates when a shallow rate profile is obtained is comparison of the curve with the trend of log aw in the same acidity region. If covalent hydration is involved in the slow step, the two curves should parallel each other closely (70CC1024). 

General equations for the kinetics of acid-catalyzed hydrogen exchange of bases have been derived [68JCS(B)1484].
