Manuscript received 21 July 1972; accepted 4 July 1975 The kinetics of the base catalysed condensation of benzaldehyde with substituted acetophenones have been studied. The parameters of the Arrhenius equation and transition state theory have been determined. The applicability of the Hammett equation has been discussed. The effective sigma values and the para resonance interaction energy values for various substituents have been determined.
