Kinetics of the reactions of [Chloro(phenyl)arsanyl]acetic acid with bromo- and iodoacetic acids
Quternization of [chloro(phenyl)arsanyl]acetic acid with bromo- and iodoacetic acids in aqueous alkali follows SN2 mechanism and is accompanied by alkaline hydrolysis of haloacetic acids. The rate constants and thermodynamic parameters of the process were determined
