Abstract
Kinetic studies with a 20-fold or greater excess of nitric acid over mesitylene in carbon tetrachloride show that nitration to the mono-substituted product is of the sixth order in nitric acid and of zeroth order in mesitylene. The nitration reaction has a negative temperature coefficient and the order in both reactants remains unchanged down to –23°, the lowest temperature studied.
