Abstract

ABSTRACT The rates of reactions of N-substituted benzyl amines with benzyl bromide were measured using a conductivity technique in methanol medium. The reaction followed a total second-order path. The end product of the reaction is identified as dibenzyl alkyl amine (C 6 H 5 CH 2 N (R) CH 2 C 6 H 5). The rates increased with a decrease in the electron-donating capacity or with an increase in the Taft σ* value of electron-donating alkyl substituents (R) ...
