Interaction of sodium methoxide with 4-nitropyridine N-oxide in benzene in the presence of surfactant aggregates

Abstract

The rate constant for the interaction of 4-nitropyridine N-oxide with sodium methoxide in benzene in the presence of polyoxyethylene (6) nonylphenol aggregates is 1220 and 7-fold greater than that in neat benzene or in neat methanol. Conversely, this reaction does not proceed appreciably in benzene in the presence of dodecylammonium propionate and sodium bis-(2-ethylhexyl)sulphosuccinate aggregates. 1H N.m.r. data indicate that 4-nitropyridine N-oxide interacts to differing extents with each charge type of surfactant aggregate. The rate effects and 1H n.m.r. behaviour are discussed in terms of the interaction of both reactants with the surfactant and differential reaction rates in this media and that in the neat solvent.
