G. Schroeder et B. Leska, KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF REACTIONS BETWEEN TETRANITRODIBENZO CROWN-ETHERS AND ALKALI-METAL HYDROXIDES, Supramolecular chemistry, 9(1), 1998, pp. 17-24
The paper reports results of the kinetic and spectroscopic studies of
reactions between tetranitrodibenzo crown ethers: TNDB 18C6, TNDB 24C8
and TNDB 30C10 or theirs analogs: 1,2-dimethoxy- or 1,2-diethoxybenze
nes and alkali metal hydroxides: LiOH, NaOH, KOH, KOH and CsOH in DMSO
: water (95:5 v/v) mixture. These reactions lead via the non-concerted
mechanism to formation of sigma-adducts and complexes with metal cati
ons.
