Hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl hexanoate in the presence of azide ion (N3-) was accelerated by tetraheptylammonium bromide (1), which has four long alkyl chains.In contrast to 1, the other tetraalkylammonium salts which have shorter alkyl chains, (2)-(5), did not elevate the reactivity. p-Nitrophenyl acetate, less hydrophobic substrate, was not hydrolyzed so efficiently even in the presence of 1.
