Kinetics of the Formation, Decomposition, and Disproportionation Reactions of N-Chlorobutylamines

The formation of N-chlorobutylamines is a reaction of order one with respect to hypochlorite and amine, and order -1 with respect to OH-.Kinetic studies show that N-chlorobutylamines undergo decomposition in basic aqueous media, and disproportionation (with formation of N,N-dichloramines) in acidic media, mechanisms are put forward for both these processes.
