I Nitrochlorobenzene

Kinetics of the reaction of /i-nitrochlorobenzene with the sodium enolate of ethyl cyanoacetate are consistent with this mechanism. Also, radical scavengers have no effect on the reaction, contrary to what would be expeeted for a chain mechanism in which aryl radicals would need to encounter the enolate in a propagation step. The reactant, p-nitrophenyl chloride, however, is one which might also react by the addition-elimination mechanism, and the postulated mechanism is essentially the stepwise electron-transfer version of this mechanism. The issue then becomes the question of whether the postulated radical pair is a distinct intermediate.
