The ammonolysis of^-nitrophenyl, w-nitrophenyl,^-chlorophenyl, phenyl and£-cresyl acetates in aqueous solution has been found to be subject to general base catalysisby amine but not to specific lyate ion catalysis eliminating amide ion as an intermediate. The importance of general base catalysis decreases with the increased leaving tendency of phenoxide ion and for m- and^-nitrophenyl acetates ammonolysis proceeded without measurable catalysis. The Hammett p constant for the non-catalyzed ammonolysis reaction is three times as large as that for the general base-catalyzed reaction. It is suggested that the mechanism whichfits the experimental data best is one in which an NHj molecule acts as a concerted acid-base catalyst in removing a proton from the attacking amineand simultaneouslyprotonating the leaving group.
