Abstract
The mechanism of catalysis of aromatic bromination by pyridine was investigated by measuring the rates of bromination of mesitylene in acetic acid and in chloroform with and without added pyridinium or other substituted ammonium salts. Most salts increased both the second- and third-order rate constants for bromination, and pyridinium salts were no more effective than others. Bromide salts decreased the rate and sometimes the order of the bromination reaction by complexing bromine as tribromide. The formation constants of pyridinium tribromide and tetra-n-butylammonium tribromide in chloroform at 25.0 were found to be 2102and 9104M1respectively. It is concluded that in dilute solution pyridine catalysis of bromination is simply a salt effect which can be accounted for by the commonly accepted mechanism of bromination.On a tudi le mcanisme des bromurations aromatiques catalyses par la pyridine; pour ce faire on a mesur les vitesses de bromuration du msitylne, dans l'acide actique et dans le chloroforme avec et sans sel de pyridinium ou d'autres sels d'ammonium substitus. La plupart des sels augmentent la fois les constantes de vitesse du deuxime et du troisime ordres de la bromuration; les sels pyridinium ne sont pas plus efficaces que les autres. L'addition de bromures diminue la vitesse et quelquefois l'ordre de la raction de bromuration en complexant le brome pour donner du tribromure. On a trouv que les constantes de formation du tribromure de pyridinium et du tribromure de ttra-n-butylammonium dans le chloroforme 25.0 sont respectivement 2102et 9104M1. On en conclut qu'en solution dilue de pyridine la catalyse de bromuration est simplement un effet de sel qui peut tre expliqu par le mcanisme gnralement accept de la bromuration.
