The kinetics of chlorine transfer reactions between N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) and four carbon nucleophiles (the conjugated bases of phenyldinitromethane, Meldrum's acid, phenylmalononitrile and phenylnitro-methane) in water were determined. A plot of log k for the SN2 reactions vs the pKa of the first three conjugated acids of the nucleophiles gave a straight line with a slope (βnuc) of 1.8. The data point for the mononitro derivative, phenylnitromethane, deviates negatively from the line by 6.7 log units. This deviation is typical of proton transfer reactions and was recently shown to occur also in SN2 reactions on bromine. Copyright

The products from the reaction of xenon difluoride with the potassium salts of a series of dinitromethyl compounds ( dinitromethane, trinitromethane, 1,1-dinitroethane, phenyldinitromethane) in methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, and acetonitrile were investigated.On the basis of the data from analysis by GLC and UV spectroscopy it was found that in most cases the reaction takes place with the participation of solvent molecules.The proposed reaction mechanism includes a stage of one-electron oxidation of the anion of the dinitromethyl compound by the XeF2 molecule to a dinitromethyl radical.
