The kinetics of base-catalysed condensation of active methyl heterocyclic quaternary salts with some nitroso derivatives in methanol have been investigated.In the presence of piperidine, the reaction was found to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics, being first order with respect to each of the reactants.It is suggested that dehydration of the carbinolamine intermediate is the rate determining step.This is supported by the observation that the reaction rate increases as the electron releasing power of the substituent attached to the nitroso aromatic ring is increased or as the electron withdrawing power of the heterocyclic moiety attached to the active methyl group is increased.Furthermore, it is concluded that the tendency of the hydroxylic solvent employed as a reaction medium to associate through hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the condensation rate.
