AbstractThis article analyzes the kinetics of the decomposition of N‐Cl‐Valine in aqueous solution, which is formed rapidly by chlorination of Valine with sodium hypochlorite. A general‐base catalyzed process not yet described is reported. The experimental evidence shows two competitive decomposition paths: an unimolecular concerted fragmentation process (k = (1.8 ± 0.1) · 10−4 s−1 at 298 K) and the other one is an E2 elimination process whose importance increases with pH and depends on the nature and the concentration of the bases present in the medium. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
