ABSTRACT:

The reaction kinetics of dipentene with iodine in polar and nonpolar solvents were studied.The solvents used were ethanol. carbon tetrachloride, chiorobenzene and 1.4-dioxane.The rate of reaction increased as the dielectric constant increased. The reaction followed 1st order 3rd order. 4th order and 3rd order dependence with respect to iodine each in ethanol, carbon tetrachloride.1.4-dioxane and chiorobenzene. The effect of mixed solvents on iodination rate were also studied. Arrhenius parameter were calculated and the rate law derived

KEYWORDS:

Tetrachloride; Dioxane iodination parameter
