Why does aspartimide formation accelerate at 30 °C rather than proceeding linearly?

Asked 13 Aug 2024Modified 2.0 years agoViewed 42k times

Concretely: aspartimide formation · 30 °C.

I want to know whether this is a real physical effect or an artefact of how it is measured.

What prompted the question is an inconsistency between two sources I otherwise trust.

Why does this happen, and what would falsify the usual explanation?
