Kinetic investigations on the reaction of N,N ′‐dicyclohexyl‐ O ‐(1‐methylheptyl)isourea with acetic acid are described. The conversion proceeds partly through the intermediacy of a methylheptylcarbenium ion. However, in dilute solution an S N 2 mechanism prevails. The results are discussed in terms of the simultaneous existence of two discrete mechanisms. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
