Abstract

Abstract The kinetics of the diazo coupling reactions of diazotized sulfanilic acid with 9 derivatives of 2-naphthol, each containing a substituent in the 8-position, have been measured. The reactions proceed by general base catalysis. The rate constants (k 1) for the formation of the steady-state intermediate in the presence of varying concentrations of a base (pyridine) have been evaluated from rate measurements. Similarly the ratios k 2/k 1 ( ...
