Abstract

Abstract The Ritter reaction of oligomeric models of poly (acrylonitrile) with tert-butyl alcohol in tetramethylene sulphone leads to the respective N-tert-butylamides and proceeds via the second-order kinetics. The rate constants increase only little on passing from the monomeric to the trimeric model. The decrease in the activation enthalpy ΔH is almost compensated for by the decrease in the activation entropy parameter. No effect of the neighbouring ...
