Abstract
Experimental conditions have been designed which allowed the use of a chloride ion selective electrode for the monitoring of reactions that proceed with a moderately fast departure of Cl- ion, i.e. t $_{1/2}\,\,\approx$ 40 seconds, in aqueous solution. The procedure has been applied in particular to the hydrolysis of yperite (HD) analogues (CEES, CEMS, CEPS) in aqueous solution in presence of HEPES buffer and oximate nucleophiles. Kinetic parameters were obtained in these conditions and the S$_{\rm N}$1 mechanism for the hydrolysis was confirmed.


Key words: Chloride ion selective electrode -- oximate ion -- reactivity -- kinetics -- yperite -- yperite analogues -- yperite hydrolysis.
