Publication costs assisted by the Dow Chemical Co.The hydrolysis of bis(chlorometijyl) ether (bis-CME) was studied in 2 TV NaOH, 1 N NaOH, water, 1 N HCl, and 3 N HCl. From the measured values of ASo* and E*, it was interpreted that the mechanism of. the hydrolysis of bis-CME was SnI in character in basic solution and shifted to an Sn2 like mechanism in acidic solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
