The C-alkylation of 2-nitropropanide by N-substituted pyridiniums is first order in each reactant in Me2SO. The effect on the rate of temperature, N substituent, leaving group, and nucleophile was studied quantitatively. Overall, the evidence excludes an SN2 displacement and suggests that the reactions proceed by a free radical nonchain mechanism.+ We haveshown2 that the reaction of^-(primary alkyl)-, N-(secondary alkyl)-, and TV-benzyl-2, 4, 6-triphenylpyridiniums (1) with nitronate anions 2a-c derived from nitromethane, nitroethane, and 2-nitropropane yields the corresponding C-alkylated nitro compounds 6 in preparatively useful reactions (Scheme I). We now report kinetic studies with sodium 2-nitropropanide (2c) and nitromethanide (2a) as nucleophiles in Me2SO solution designed to clarify the mechanisms of these reactions. Preparative Work. The pyridiniums used were prepared by standard methods. 3 Some preparative reactions between the
