A Kinetic Study of the Biochemical Efficiencies of the Solvolysis Products of the Iso-Amyl Formate in Aquo-Glycerol Reaction Media

The biochemical efficiencies of isoAmyl formate is due to formation of formic acid as its solvolysis product. It is best highlighted by studying the kinetics of acid catalysed solvolysis of iso-amyl formate in aquo- Glycerol reaction media having different concentration of Glycerol (trihydric alcohol) from 20 to 80% (v/v) and at different temperatures ranging from 20 to 40oC. The depletion and enhancement observed respectively in iso-composition and isodielectric activation energies reveal that the transition state is solvated and initial state is desolvated with addition of Glycerol in reaction media. Almost unity value of the slope of the plots of log k values against log [H+] values shows that the reaction follows �𝐴𝐶2 mechanism. From the values of isokinetic temperature, which comes to be 283.0, it may be concluded that in waterGlycerol reaction media, the reaction follows Barclay-Butler rule and there is weak but acceptable interaction between solvent and solute.
