The kinetics of decomposition of 1,3-bis(4-methylphenyl)triazene catalyzed with 13 substituted benzoic acids of various concentrations have been measured in 25 vol.% aqueous methanol at 25.0 °C. The rate constants observed (297 data) have be used as values of independent variable in a series of models of the catalyzed decomposition. For the catalytic particles were considered the undissociated acid, its conjugated base, and the proton in both the specific and general catalyses. Some models presumed formation of reactive or nonreactive complexes of the individual reactants. The substituent effect is described by the Hammett equation. The statistically best model in which the observed rate constant is a superposition of a term describing the dependence on proton concentration and a term describing the dependence on the product of concentrations of proton and conjugated base is valid with the presumption of complete proton transfer from the catalyst acid to substrate, which has been proved. The behaviour of 4-dimethylamino, 4-amino, and 3-amino derivatives is anomalous (lower catalytic activity as compared with benzoic acid). This supports the presumed participation of conjugated base in the title process.

The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane in ethanol, t-butyl alcohol, and ethyl acetate at 30° and the pKa values in water at 25° of fourteen 3-substituted acrylic acids have been determined. The effect of substitution is assessed by use of linear free energy relations. A definite incremental acid-strengthening effect solely due to cis-substitution is confirmed. This is not a "bulk" steric effect and is due solely to the orientation of substitution. The polar effect of a substituent is found to be approximately the same from the cis- or trans-position. An attempt is made to test the suggested mechanisms for the transmission of the polar effect. In the reactions studied the transmission of the polar effect in 3-substituted acrylic acid and ortho-substituted benzoic acids is approximately twice that of the meta- or para-substituted benzoic acids. This appears to be reasonably accommodated by a significant field effect.
