Notes:
As an example of aminolysis of amides, the reaction between acetanilide and o-anisidine has been studied with special reference to the catalytic action of acids. In the case of a weak acid, the rate of aminolysis increases continuously as the concentration of the catalyzing acid is increased; on the other hand, in the case of a strong acid, the rate passes through a maximum value. A mechanism for aminolysis of amides, consistent with these facts, is suggested.
