Abstract
Abstract The conjugate bases of fluorobenzene and methoxybenzene react with nitrous oxide to afford the dehydrophenoxy anion (C 6 H 3 O − ). The mechanism for the formation of this novel ion has been explored as has some if its reactivity. In general, the reactions of C 6 H 3 O − proceed via proton transfer, addition of the newly formed anion to the benzyne triple bond, and subsequent fragmentation. Acidities of the different ring positions in methoxybenzene are also reported.
