Optimal conditions were found for the reactions of aniline and its hydroxy-, carboxy-, methyl-, and nitro-substituted derivatives with p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles in the pH range 136. A correlation was revealed between the optimal pH value pK a of aromatic amines. The reaction in the model system aniline3p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde3sodium dodecyl sulfate in micelles formed by anionic surfactants is accelerated more than 1000-fold due to increased concentration of the reactive species in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles.
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.
