Abstract

I, R= CH&eHE; R'= C (CHa) a 11, R= R'= H ference in the rate of debenzylation of the 0-, m-, and p-benzyloxynitrobenzenes to give the corresponding nitrophenols. These reactions could be followed by monitoring the n. 1n. r. signal of the methylene protons of the ether benzyl group. In an 0.11 M solution of
