Abstract
The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-(4-substitutedarylthio)phthalimides was studied in aqueous solutions of sulfuric, perchloric, and hydrochloric acids at 40.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Analysis of the data by the excess acidity method, activation parameters, and substituent effects indicates hydrolysis by an A-2 mechanism at low acidity. At higher acidities, a changeover to an A-1 mechanism is observed.
