Abstract

Oxygen-18 tracer studies were carried out on the hydrolysis of sodium methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl sulphates in aqueous perchloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions. The reaction proceeds by sulphur-oxygen bond fission in acid solution and carbon-oxygen bond fission in alkaline solution. An A-1 mechanism is proposed for the hydrolysis reaction in aqueous acid solution.
