Accurate second-order rate constants were measured at 5 degreesC intervals in the temperature range 20-60 degreesC for the Menshutkin reaction of 1-methylbenzimidazole, 2-amino-1-methylbenzimidazole and N,N-dimethylaniline with iodomethane and iodoethane in methanol. In every case a good linearity in the Eyring plots was observed. Values for the activation enthalpy and entropy are reported. Analysis in terms of...
