Effect of Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide on the Kinetics of Iodination of Aniline by Iodine (original) (raw)

The investigation of micellar catalysis has provoked a great interest during last few decades, since the study of micelle catalyzed reaction might provide a basic interpretation of some aspect of catalysis. 1-4 The continuing research interest in the area of micelle formation, structure and their role in reaction catalysis reflects the importance of the subject. The extensive study and publications in the book summarize much of the knowledge about micelles. 5-14 On the other hand, there are certain cationic surfactant like cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, that can affect the rate of aroniatic substitution reactions and plays important role in chemistry due to their ability to catalyze or inhibit certain reactions. 15-17
