description

The aminolysis of diphenyl terephthalate by means of hexylamine was studied in dimethyl sulfoxide as a model reaction for polyamidation. The kinetic analysis showed that the two ester groups of the diphenyl ester do not react independently. Furthermore, the reaction of the first ester group was of mixed second and third order, while the reaction of the second ester group contained only a second order term. The rate constants found were used to determine the Arrhenius activation parameters.
