Abstract
Elimination reactions of (4'-ClC6H4)2CHCO2C6H3-2-X-4-NO2 promoted by R2NH-R2NH2+ in 70 mol% MeCN (aq.) have been studied kinetically. The reactions are second-order and exhibit Brönsted beta = 0.44-0.86 and /beta(lg)/ = 0.41-0.71. The Brönsted beta decreased with a poorer leaving group and /beta(lg)/ increased with a weaker base. The results are consistent with an E2 mechanism. When X=H, the reaction proceeded by the concurrent E2 and Elcb mechanism.
