Kinetic studies of the reaction of benzyl benzenesulfonate with pyridine in acetone were carried out by the electric conductivity method under 1 to 2000 bars and at 20 to 40℃. The rate increases with increasing pressure and temperature. The activation enthalpy (ΔH≠), entropy (ΔS≠) and activation volume (ΔV≠) of the reaction are obtained by the above experiment. The isokinetic relationship between ΔH≠ and ΔS≠ for pressure change in the reaction was shown, and its isokinetic temperature was 342˚K. From all of the above results it was found that this reaction precedes on the SN2 reaction mechanism in which the rate of the reaction was determined by C…N bond formation at transition state.
