The decomposition reactions of N ‐bromodiethanolamine, N ‐bromoethylethanolamine, and N ‐bromomethylethanolamine in aqueous solution have been studied kinetically under various experimental conditions. The results support a proposed reaction mechanism in which the rate controlling step is assumed to be the formation of an imine which is then hydrolyzed to the final decomposition products.
