Abstract

Abstract The kinetics and mechanisms of chlorine transfer from chloramine-T (CAT) to several amines are second order and independent of p-toluenesulfonamide concentration; thus, the reaction does not involve disproportionation of CAT to dichloramine-T. From the profile of pH versus rate, the following mechanisms were proposed:(1) reaction of the ionized species of CAT with the ionized amine (ionic mechanism) and (2) reaction of the ...
