Abstract: A kinetic study of the reversible deprotonation of methylnitroacetate (4H) by primary aliphatic amines, secondary alicyclic amines, hydroxide ion, and water in water at 25 degree C is reported. The factor affecting intrinsic rate constants of proton transfer from nitroalkanes is also presented.
