Rate constants for the proton and deuteron transfer from 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane to cesium n-propoxide in n-propanol have been measured under pseudo-first-order conditions with an excess of base for four temperatures between 5 and 35 °C. Using literature values of the fraction of cesium n-propoxide ion pairs that are dissociated into free ions, separate second-order rate constants for the proton and deuteron transfer to the ion pair and to the free ion have been calculated. The cesium n-propoxide ion pair is about 2.8 times more reactive than the free n-propoxide ion. The primary kinetic isotope effects for the two reactions are the same (kH/kD = 6.1–6.3 at 25 °C) within experimental error. The enthalpy of activation is smaller for the ion-pair reaction and the entropy of activation more negative than for the free-ion reaction. For proton transfer, ΔH±ion pair = 8.3 ± 0.2 kcal mol−1, ΔH±ion = 9.6 ± 1.0 kcal mol−1, ΔS±ion pair = −12.3 ± 0.6 cal mol−1 deg−1, ΔS±ion = −10.1 ± 3.4 cal mol−1 deg−1. The greater reactivity of the ion pair relative to the free ion is interpreted in terms of the weaker solvation shell of the ion pair in the initial state.

4-Nitrophenylnitromethane reacts with 2,7-dimethoxy-1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene in acetonitrile in a bimolecular proton transfer, which shows a primary deuterium isotope effect, kH/kD = 12.2 at 25 °C. The large isotope effect on the enthalpy of activation, (ΔHD≠ – ΔHH≠) = 4.6 ± 0.3 kcal mol−1 is consistent with a significant contribution of proton tunnelling to the reaction rate of the protium substrate.The analogous reaction of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane with the same base in acetonitrile gives contrasting kinetics and reaction parameters. The reaction is first order, showing no dependence on base concentration. While the isotope effect kH/kD = 9.3 at 25 °C, the enthalpy of activation difference (ΔHD≠ – ΔHH≠) is only 0.5 ± 0.1 kcal mol−1. It is concluded that the 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane undergoes a slow dissociation, with a very small dissociation constant, followed by a fast association with the base to yield the carbanion ion-pair.

Fast reactions of 0- with water, various alcohols, diethylether, acetone, c-hexane, c-hexene, benzene and toluene have been observed. The following types of reactions which often compete in these systems have been found: a) Η-atom transfer (such as CH3OD+O- → OH-+CH2+CH2OD), b) Proton (deuteron) transfer (such as CH3OH+O-→ CH3O–+OH, and CH3OD+O-→ CH3O-+OD), c) H2+-transfer [such as (CH33)2CO+O- → C3H4O-+H2O], d) dissociative proton transfer (such as i-C3H7OH+O- → C2H3O-+OH+CH4 or C3H5O-+OH+H2), e) dissociative addition (such as C6H6 → C6H5O-+H).
