Abstract
Rate constants for the nitration of the title compounds have been determined and compared with those for 2-dimethylamino-, 2-dimethylamino-5-nitro-, and 4-dimethylamino-pyridine. The mechanisms of nitration of these substituted pyridines is discussed with particular reference to the occurrence of the ‘proton loss’ mechanism.Keywords
