Abstract

Abstract The reactivity of primary alkylamines in cleavage of p-nitrophenyl esters of carboxylic acids in microemulsions of different structures based on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide was studied. The aminolysis rate considerably increases in going from inverse to direct microemulsions, mainly owing to the concentration of the reactants in the boundary layer.
