Abstract

Abstract: Second-order rate constants for benzoate ion promoted deprotonation reactions of (34trophenyl) nitromethane,(4-nitrophenyl) nitromethane, and (3, 5-dinitrophenyl) nitromethane have been determined in acetonitrile solution at 25 OC. These data were obtained at low benzoate buffer concentrations (< 0.01 M), utilizing tetraethylammonium benzoate salts, and benzoate ion concentrations corrected for homoconjugation with data ...
