Abstract

The reaction of 2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde with hydroxide ion in water is first order in the substrate. The reaction order in hydroxide ion varies from one to two at lower and higher OH- concentrations, respectively. The reaction mechanism has been suggested, the pKa value of reaction product 2-nitro-4-nitrosophenol and the equilibrium constant of formation of the Meisenheimer adduct from 2-nitro-4-nitrosophenoxide and hydroxide ion have been determined.
