“…In line with our previous study, we chose the water-catalyzed pHindependent hydrolysis of different substituted 1-benzoyl-1,2, 4-triazoles (1aÀf, Scheme 1) as the probe reaction, because the series of hydrolytic probes 1aÀf has the required differences in sensitivity to environment. 31 The reactions occur through a ' EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Chemicals. Sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) (99%, Fluka), sodium methylsulfate (NMS) (98%, TCI), p-anisoyl chloride (99%, Acros Organics), p-toluoyl chloride (99%, Acros Organics), benzoyl chloride (99%, Acros Organics), p-chlorobenzoyl chloride (99%, Aldrich), p-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl chloride (98%, Acros Organics), p-nitrobenzoyl chloride (99%, Fluka), 1,2,4-triazole (purum, g98%, Fluka), p-toluic acid (98%, Aldrich), p-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (99%, Acros Organics), and Reichardt's E T (30) dye (90%, Aldrich) were used as received.…”
