High resolution nuclear magnetic resonance study of chemical reactions using flowing liquids: kinetic and thermodynamic intermediates formed by the attack of methoxide ion on 3,5-dinitrocyanobenzene

Abstract

Equipment and techniques have been developed which make possible the measurement of high resolution n.m.r. spectra in rapidly flowing, chemically reacting systems, and have been used to characterize the kinetically formed intermediate complex as well as the thermodynacically stable one from the attack of methoxide ion on 3,5-dinitrocyanobenzene.
