%X The solvolysis reactions     (see diagram in article)  have been studied in anhydrous dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) over a range of bromide concentrations and at various mole fractions of DMSO in NN-dimethyl-acetamide (DMA). The solvolysis of both isomers results in nearly complete removal of first bromide in pure DMSO while in DMA almost insignificant solvolysis occurs. The influence of ion association on the measured rates is discussed. Activation energies are presented for all reactions.
