Aromatic substitutions with carbanion nucleophiles. IV. The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of picryl bromide with diethylmalonate anion
Keyword(s):
The reaction of picryl bromide with sodium diethylmalonate has been studied in benzene–DMSO 7:1 v/v by means of stopped-flow and uv–visible spectrophotometers. A Meisenheimer-like intermediate was detected, decomposing to yield the stable violet anion of the substitution product. The rate constants of the individual steps have been measured and the activation parameters calculated. Comparison with those obtained for picryl chloride support a bimolecular substitution via the 1,1-complex. The reaction with 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene is too fast to be measured in the same solvent system. The equilibrium constant is estimated to be of the order of 104–105.
