Abstract

Abstract: A series of nitroaromatic compounds, containing CI, Br, or tosyl groups at various positions, were synthesized and studied by pulse radiolysis in aqueous alcohol solutions. One-electron reduction of the compounds produces the anion radicals which then undergo an intramolecular electron transfer and eliminate X-(Cl-, Br-, or TsO-). The rates of X- elimination vary over six orders of magnitude and are affected by the CX bond ...
