Themechanisms of the reactions of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and of diisopropylcarbodiimide with acetic acid in acetonitrile and in carbon tetrachloride have been studied. Previously reported products for the reaction of acetic acid with DCC are acetic anhydride, dicyclohexylurea, and acetyldicyclohexylurea, and these have now been shown to account quantitatively for reactants. Furthermore, it has been found that the relationship between product yields and initial concentrations of acetic acid and of DCC can be predicted accurately from eq 1-3 with a kijkz ratio of about 60 mole-11. in acetonitrile and about 400 in carbon tetrachloride. The ratios may be regarded as empirical parameters. The possibility has been investigated that the acylurea might arise in part from re-action of acetic anhydride with carbodiimide or from acylation of urea, but both of these have been excluded. In acetonitrile the reaction is first order in carbodiimide and somewhat higher thanfirst order in acetic acid. The reaction is about 30 times faster in carbon tetrachloride than in acetonitrile. This unusual result, the orderwith respect to acetic acid, and several trends of product yields can be accounted for on the basis that acetic acid dimer reacts more rapidly with carbodiimide than does the monomer. Predictions based on a mechanism consisting of eq 1-5 are quantitatively in accord with product data in acetonitrile at 30 with k¡= 0.013 mole-11. sec-1, kJkí= 60 mole-1\., Ki= 0.5 mole-11., Ars/Ati= 10. The monomer-dimer equilibrium constant for acetic acid in acetonitrile has been found to be 0.5 mole-11.
