Abstract

The substitution reaction of chloride by phenylacetonitrile anion in 2-chloro-5-nitro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene under phase-transfer catalysis has been studied. The kinetic profile of the reaction has been investigated as a function of variables such as (a) concentration of the reaction mixture components in the organic phase, (b) catalyst structure and concentration, (c) aqueous hydroxide ion concentration, and (d) temperature. The results were used to evaluate the second-order rate coefficients (k) of the substitution reaction in the organic phase. A mechanism to rationalize the kinetic results is proposed
