Terephthaloyl chloride, hydrolysis

R. Subramanyam, A.G. Pinkus, Synthesis of poly(terephthaUc anhydride) by hydrolysis of terephthaloyl chloride triethylamine intermediate adduct characterization of intermediate adduct, J Macromol Sci Chem A22 (1985)23. 

Kinetic studies of the solvolysis of cinnamoyl chloride in aqueous MeCN and acetone pointed to an 5 2 mechanism in the presence of HgCl2, there was an increase in the rate of solvolysis, but it was concluded there was no change in the mechanism. Studies of the hydrolysis of phthaloyl and terephthaloyl chloride suggested the intermediate...
