The C-alkylation of 2-nitropropanide by N-substituted pyridiniums is first order in each reactant in Me2SO.The effect on the rate of temperature , N substituent, leaving group, and nucleophile was studied quantitatively.Overall, the evidence excludes an SN2 displacement and suggests that the reactions proceed by a free radical nonchain mechanism.
