N2  - The association step in SRN1 reactions, in which p- nitrobenzylic radicals are trapped by acinitronate ions or the anions from &#946;- keto esters, is demonstrated to be effectively irreversible under the normal conditions of the SRN1 reaction. The dissociation [i.e. fragmentation of the C(&#945;)-C(&#946;) bond] of C- alkylates [e.g. (2) or (3)] formed from aci - nitronates and p- nitrobenzylic substrates appears to take place in a process involving transfer of two electrons and not through dissociation of radical anions.
