Hydrolysis reaction of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. A kinetic and computational study

- 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid hydrolyses giving 2,4-dichlorophenol and glycolic acid.
- Kinetic of hydrolysis is first order and pH-dependent and it is catalyzed by a H+.
- Theoretical mechanism catalyzed by H+ agrees with experimental data.
