The rates of isomerization of o-and p-xylenes to m-xylene have been measured in the solvent trifluoro-methanesulfonic acid (triflic acid, CFgSOgH), using NMR, GLC, and conductimetric methods. At low concentration (< 0.02 M) theexpected first-order kinetics were observed, whereas at higher concentrations the reactions followed apparent second-order kinetics. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed in terms of intimate ion pairing and possible incursionof donor-acceptor complexes between protonated and unprotonated solute molecules.
