Influence of n-Butyl and n-Hezil Alcohols in the Dehydrohalogenation of DDT in Cationic Micelles of N-Cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium Bromide, Chloride, and Hydroxide

The incorporation of n-butyl and n-hexyl alcohols on cationic micelles of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, chloride, and hydroxide (CTAB, CTAC, and CTAOH) decreases the rate of the basic dehydrohalogenation of DDT in simple cationic micelles.From the kinetic results and on the basis of the Berezin model the mean nolar volume of micellar pseudophase for simple micelles and surfactant/alcohol system has been evaluated.
