Abstract <strong>PURPOSE: </strong>Variable-Temperature Kinetics has been used to obtain the rate constants of the reaction at various temperatures during one kinetic run.<br /><br /><strong>METHODS: </strong>Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the transesterification of procaine with aliphatic alcohols ethanol, n-propanol and tert-butanol were obtained by the fluorescence spectroscopy using the variable-temperature kinetics (VTK) method.<br /><br /><strong>RESULTS: </strong>The activation parameters of the reactions were calculated (24-28 kcal x mol(-1)). The half-life of the procaine decreases in the ethanol solution compared with the other alcoholic solutions in the presence of sodium ethoxide.<br /><br /><strong>CONCLUSIONS: </strong>The investigation time of the reactions is reduced to one-tenth of the one used for usual kinetic methods.
