2-Methoxy-6-nitrobenzonitrile is an activated intermediate that reacts with amines and anions to form reaction products. This intermediate is synthesized by reacting phenyl nitroacetate with 2-methoxy-6-nitrotoluene. Mechanistic studies have shown that the nitro group of the intermediate is activated by electron transfer from the nitro group to the sulfonic acid, which then reacts with amine groups and anions. Techniques such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can be used to characterize this intermediate. The rate of formation of this intermediate varies depending on the concentration of reactants and temperature, but it is relatively constant at a given temperature. Kinetic studies have shown that this intermediate has two isomers: one with a proton on nitrogen and one without a proton on nitrogen.
