Abstract
A surfactant molecule which contains the hydroxamic acid and imidazole groups was synthesized and its catalytic efficiency in the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate was examined in a mixed micelle with CTAB. The presence of the complementary functions in cationic micelles led to much enhanced catalytic efficiency compared with micellar, monofunctional systems.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
