title: Non-steady-state kinetic study of the SN2 reaction between p-nitrophenoxide ion and methyl iodide in aprotic solvents containing water. Evidence for a 2-step mechanism.
abstract: Non-steady-state kinetic studies reveal that the SN2 reaction between p-nitrophenoxide ion and methyl iodide in acetonitrile containing water follows a 2-step mechanism involving the formation of a kinetically significant intermediate.
