Abstract: The participation of the reactions of anions of the phosphate buffer and of anions of glycolic and lactic acids with the anions of bromoacetic and α-bromopropionic acids on the mechanism of the hydrolysis of these acids and the retarding effect of Br- on the speed of the hydrolysis in the buffer medium at pH close to 7.0 was studied. For the detn. of the reactions a polarographic method was applied. The velocity coeffs. showed that the catalytic effects of the anions are small and are noticeable only at higher concns. of the anions. The retarding effect of Br- ion on the hydrolysis is considerably manifested at the higher concns. of this ion.
