Aromatic Substitutions with Carbanion Nucleophiles. II. The Kinetics and Mechanism of the Reaction of 1-Fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with the Diethyl Malonate Anion
Keyword(s):
The reaction of fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with the sodium salt of diethyl malonate to form diethyl (2,4-dinitrophenyl)malonate is fast in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The stable red color of the reaction solution is due to the anion of the product, although the initially formed unstable intermediate between the substrate and the anion nucleophile is also red and can be observed at times less than 200 ms after mixing.The rate constants for all the steps in the reaction have been measured and the activation parameters for the three processes involved in the nucleophile substitution have been calculated.
