Mechanism of the conversion of a nitrobenzene into a 4-nitrosophenol in 15·8 M potassium hydroxide

Abstract

Quantitative conversion of 2-nitrobenzoate ion into 2-nitroso-5-hydroxybenzoate ion occurs in 15·8 M potassium hydroxide; kinetic and spectral studies are consistent with a mechanism which involves rate-limiting formation of a Meisenheimer adduct with hydroxide ion followed by proton abstraction.
