Contrasting behaviour is observed when 2- and 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine interact with methoxide ion in dimethyl sulphoxide. The 4-methoxy compound affords both methine and acetal sigma complexes, the latter being thermodynamically more stable. The interconversion is catalysed by methanol. Labelling experiments have established that the sigma complex from the 2-methoxypyridine is formed by addition at C6; no conversion into the acetal could be effected. These observations are rationalized in terms of differential steric and solvation effects. Demethylation and rearrangement reactions of 4-methoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine are reported.

Sigma-complex formation between 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) and hydroxide ion has been studied quantitatively as a function of medium composition for part of the dimethylformamide (DMF)–water solvent system by spectrophotometric methods. Only a 1:1 complex is detected under the conditions of measurement, with [TNB] ≥ [OH−]. The equilibrium constant (Keq) for complex formation in 22 mol % DMF has the value 3 × 10−3 l mol−1, compared with 3 l mol−1 in purely aqueous medium. Further increases in Kcq occur as the DMF content of the medium is raised; in 50 mol % DMF Keq ≈ 105, but reliable Keq values could not be obtained in this region of medium composition. The increase in Keq with increasing DMF content is interpreted largely on the basis of hydroxide ion desolvation.
