Benzoic Acid Derivatives I, The Kinetics and Mechanism of the Nucleopilic Addition of Thiourea to Nitrone Derivatives
The rate constants for the addition reaction of thiourea to nitrone derivatives were determind at various pH and reaction rate equation which could be applied over a wide pH were obtained. The substituent effects and general base catalysis for the addition of thiourea to nitrone derivatives were observed. On the basis of these findings, a plausible reaction mechanism for the nucleophilic addition of thiourea to nitrone was proposed.
