Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance studies at −30 °C reveal that the cyanide ion reacts with 2,4,6-trini-troanisole to form σ-complexes by attachment of the cyanide ion at both the C-1 and C-3 positions on the ring. In contrast to the methoxide ion adducts of 2,4,6-trinitroanisole, the cyanide ion adduct resulting from attack of the cyanide at the C-3 position is the more stable species.
