Abstract: The reactions of diarylimidoyl chlorides ArC (CI)= NCbH4Y with piperidine, morpholine, and diethylamine which form the corresponding amidines were studied in benzene. Either only first-order term in the amine (mostly with piperidine) or both first-and second-order terms in the amine (mostly with morpholine) were found. The Hammett plots show a minimum when Y= p-C1 with piperidine and when Y= m-CI with morpholine, and ...
