Abstract
The kinetics of the transformation of benzonitrile oxide in dilute sulfuric acid into benzohydroxamic acid have been followed by u.v. spectrophotometry at a temperature near room temperature. A mechanism is proposed on the basis of the effects of substituents and sulfuric acid concentration.The rate profile for the hydrolysis of benzohydroxamic acid in hot dilute sulfuric acid has been obtained.The results of these studies are applied to the detailed mechanism of the Meyer rearrangement – hydrolysis of phenylnitromethane in acid.
