A study has been made of the kinetics of the reaction of ethylene oxide with n-octyl alcohol catalyzed by potassium octylate in the presence of the macrocyclic ether dibenzo-18-crown-6. A kinetic model has been proposed, which satisfactorily represents the effect of dibenzo-18-crown-6 on the rate of hydroxyethylation over a wide range of molar ratios of dibenzo-18-crown-6:potassium octylate and initial alcohol concentrations.
