Resolution of the non-steady-state kinetics of the elimination of HBr from 2-(p-nitrophenyl)ethyl bromide in alcohol/alkoxide media

Abstract

Non-steady-state kinetic studies reveal that the elimination of HBr from 2-(p-nitrophenyl)ethyl bromide in alcohol/alkoxide media, the classical concerted E2 reaction, actually takes place by a two-step mechanism involving the intermediate formation of the carbanion.
