The kinetic investigation into the effect of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the base-catalysed hydrolysis of procaine has been studied. These studied were carried out at pH 9.1 in the temperature range of 50° - 80°. Using accelerated stability analysis the shelf-life of procaine at 25° in absence and presence of cationic surfactant CTAB at various concentration has been evaluated.
