Abstract
When m-dinitrobenzene in excess ketone as solvent is shaken with concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide (The Janovsky reaction), the conjugate base of the ketone appears to form a σ-addition complex with the m-dinitrobenzene; whereas the product of interaction of m-dinitrobenzene with ketone in ethanolic sodium ethoxide (the Zimmermann reaction) is the conjugate base of the corresponding 2,4 dinitrobenzyl ketone.
