Abstract

The acidity dependencies of the equilibria between nitrous acid and nitrosonium ion, and between nitrate ion and nitric acid in aqueous trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) have been investigated. The decomposition of nitrous acid in air-saturated aqueous TFA has been studied and is considerably faster than in dilute HCl. Nitrous acid and 4-fluorophenol in TFA react to give quantitatively 4-fluoro-2-nitrophenol. The kinetics are shown to be consistent with the mechanism previously proposed for similar substrates in dilute aqueous acid.
