Abstract

The reaction between 4-nitrobenzyl chloride and alkali in aqueous acetone or aqueous dioxan gives 4,4′-dinitrostilbene. The kinetic form, the effect of added aldehydes, and the effect of deuterium in the starting material have been studied. p-Nitrophenylmethylene is accepted as an intermediate.
