Summary "The reaction between m-nitrobenzyl bromide and sodium hydroxide in homogeneous aqueous dioxane and aqueous tetrahydrofuran media was studied. The product of the reaction was identified by infra red, gas chromatography and chemical tests as m-nitrobenzyl alcohol. The kinetics of the reaction are second order with practically no variation in the rate constants as the % of the organic solvent was changed in the medium. This seems to imply hydrolysis of the organic halide by a process involving both bond-breaking and bond-formation in the transition state. The activation energy, measured in 50% aqueous dioxane, between 20° and 69.5°C at 5 different temperatures, is 15,500 cal/mole"--Abstract, leaf i.
