Abstract: The rates of hydrolysis of 2-, 3- and 4-bromomethyl pyridines to the corresponding hydroxymethyl pyridines at 60℃ and ion strength μ=0.15 over the pHrange from 0.9 to 9.9 in buffer solutions were measured by means of HPLC.Through the mathematical treatment, the first-order and the second-order reaction-rate constants for bromomethyl pyridines and the first-order reaction-rate constants of bromomethyl pyridines conjugated acids were obtained.The mechanisms of the hydrolysis were proposed to be unimolecular nucleophilic substitution(SN1) and bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2).
