Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction of methyl fluoride with water and the hydroxyl ion have been determined experimentally at various concentrations and temperatures. The results are compared with the data available on the other methyl halides. The mechanism of the anionic reaction is discussed in terms of a hypothesis according to which the rate-determining step is the partial desolvation of the ion. This mechanism is extended to account also for the kinetic features of the hydrolysis.Keywords
