Conclusions
-
1.
We discovered an S-shaped character for the kinetics of buildup of p-nitrophenolate, and an effect of oxygen on the rate of formation of p-nitrophenolate, in the reaction of p-nitrochlorobenzene with sodium methylate.
-
2.
A scheme has been proposed for the formation of p-nitrophenolate, with the participation of anion radicals of p-nitrochlorobenzene and oxygen. Formation of anion radicals of p-nitrochlorobenzene is a reaction proceeding in parallel with the substitution reaction.
