The kinetics of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) decarboxylation strongly depends on the solvent in which it occurs, proceeding faster in polar aprotic solvents compared to protic solvents.

Protic and aprotic solvent effects on the reactivity of picolinic, nicotinic and isonicotinic acid, as well as of some substituted nicotinic acids with diazodiphenylmethane (DDM) were investigated. In order to explain the kinetic results through solvent effects, the second-order rate constants for the reaction of the examined acids with DDM were correlated using the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic equation. The correlations of the kinetic data were carried out by means of the multiple linear regression analysis and the solvent effects on the reaction rates were analyzed in terms of the contributions of the initial and the transition state. The signs of the equation coefficients support the already known reaction mechanism. The solvatation models for all the investigated acids are suggested and related to their specific structure.

The rates of rearrangement of N-bromo-4-chloroacetanilide to 2-bromo-4-chloroacetanilide catalyzed by trifluoroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid-d have been measured as a function of acid concentration in chlorobenzene at T = 323 K. Similar experiments have been carried out with N-bromoacetanilide and N-bromo-4-chloro-2,6-dideuterioacetanilide. A comprehensive analysis of the observed rates for each substrate as a function of acid concentration reveals that the rearrangements involve at least three mechanistic steps when trifluoroacetic acid is the catalyst. In contrast, the rate of rearrangement of N-bromoacetanilide catalyzed by trichloroacetic acid at T = 288 K appears to follow a limiting form of the same rate law. Earlier observations are assessed in the light of the proposed mechanism, and it is concluded that both present and past work can be satisfactorily rationalized in terms of an intramolecular migration of bromine.
