The nitration of some tertiary phosphine oxides ArP(O)R2 in aqueous sulfuric acid has been investigated. All compounds studied react as conjugate acids. When the phosphinyl group is bonded directly to the benzene ring, high deactivation and meta-orientation is found, accompanied in most cases by some substitution at the ortho position. The substituent effects of the "quasiphosphonium" group P(OH)R2+are compared with those of structurally related systems and are discussed in terms of pπ–dπ, interactions of the oxygen and the phosphorus atom.

Phenyl-aci-nitromethane reacts in aqueous sulfuric acid at room temperature to form phenylnitromethane and benzohydroxamic acid. The relative amounts of these two products depend on the concentration of the acid. Benzohydroxamic acid is formed by reaction of the intermediate, benzonitrile oxide, with water.Solvent effects, substituent effects, and isotope effects have been studied to determine mechanisms for these reactions of phenyl-aci-nitromethane.

The Hammett equation is directly applicable to ortho-substituted benzene reaction series in which reaction site and benzene ring are separated by some group Z, apparently due to the absence of steric effects in these series. The σp values are used in the correlations. Fourteen ortho-substituted benzene reaction series have been correlated. The electrical effect of a substituent in the ortho position is found to be about 0.75 times its effect in the para position. The effect of the side-chain Z in the transmission of substituent effects is OCH2 > SCH2 > CH = CH > SeCH2 > CH2CH2.
