Introduction
In a previous paper,' we reported studies of a series of
surfactants incorporating the 4-(N,N-dialkylamino)-
ClSOsH
pyridine moiety as catalysts of fluorophosphate and car-
(41 %)
boxylate ester hydrolyses. All the compounds displayed
catalysis of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl hexanoate,
although none efficiently catalyzed that of fluoro-
phosphate. The most surprising finding was that the single
anionic derivative, sodium 10-[butyl(6pyridinyl)amino] -
decyl sulfate (2))was more active by 1order of magnitude 1. DCCINCCHpCHzOP03H2

over neutral, cationic, and zwitterionic analogues. Com-
pound 2 catalyzed the hydrolysis at pH 8.6 of Cnitrophenyl
hexanoate with Itz = 38.0 M-'s-l, which compared favor-
ably to hydrolyses utilizing the active o-iodosobenzoate
catalysts developed by Moss and co-workers.2-4 The su-

Similar effects have been reported for other pyridinium
ions.'
Chemical shifts for the alkyl carbons were also as ex-
pected. Carbon C-1 resonated a t 6 62.2 in 1, a t slightly
higher values in 2-4, and farther upfield (at 6 30) in 5 and
7. In nitrile 6, C-1 occurred at 6 15.7, which, in combination
with the CN resonance a t 6 118.5, was useful as a diagnostic
tool for confirming the presence or disappearance of 6.
