The rates of proton transfer reactions between C-acids of different types such as 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroalkanes, 4-nitrophenylcyanomethanes, and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, and organic bases such as 1,1,3,3-tetrametylguanidine, 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (MTBD), and tri-n-butylamine have been measured in acetonitrile at pseudo-first-order conditions. A general equation for the rates of proton transfer reactions between C-acids and bases with product existing in two forms, ions and ion pairs, has been derived and its applicability tested. The equation works well except for reactions of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroalkanes with guanidines for which the second-order rate constant is diminished with concentration of guanidinium cation, while tetrabutylammonium salts accelerate the reactions. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

Deprotonation of ethyl bis(4-nitrophenyl)acetate by tetramethylguanidine (TMG), pentaisopropylguanidine (PiPG), 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclodec-5-ene (MTBD) and 1,5,7-triazabicyclodec-5-ene (TBD) in acetonitrile was studied by kinetic and FTIR spectroscopic methods.The results demonstrate that the kinetics of proton transfer from C-acid to N-base with guanidine-like character in acetonitrile are determined by three factors: basicity and steric hindrance in the vicinity of reacting side of N-base molecule as well as different distribution of positive charge in protonated N-bases. - Key words: ethyl bis(4-nitrophenyl)acetate; strong N-bases; proton transfer reaction; kinetics; FTIR
