C. Boga et al., MECHANISM AND KINETICS OF REACTIONS OF 2-NITROFLUOROBENZENE WITH ALIPHATIC-AMINES, Gazzetta chimica italiana, 127(5), 1997, pp. 259-262
The reaction rates of 2-nitrofluorobenzene with some amines in toluene
and in dimethyl sulfoxide have been measured. The moderate autocataly
tic behaviour, the small solvent effect and the absence of a kinetic s
alt effect suggest a transition stale with a small charge separation,
rather than the usual one resembling a zwitterionic intermediate.
