Abstract Kinetic studies of the reactions of tertiary oximes (monoisonitroso acetone; MINA and butane 2, 3 dione monooxime; BDMO) with some carboxylate (p-nitrophenyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl benzoate), phosphate (p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate and bis (2, 4- dinitrophenyl) phosphate) and sulfonate (p-nitrophenyl p-toluene sulphonate) esters in gemini surfactants have been conducted. The observed first-order rate constant versus ...
