Abstract
The kinetic study of the reaction of 1-pyrrolidino-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 1-piperidino-2,4-dinitrobenzene and 1-morpholino-2,4-dinitrobenzene with NaOH in the presence and absence of the amine leaving group was carried out in aqueous solutions at 25°C, giving 2,4-dinitrophenol as the only product. A mechanism involving the formation of σ complexes by addition of HO− or the amine to the unsubstituted positions of the aromatic ring is proposed. These complexes were found to react faster than the original substrates.
