Abstract
The Mannich reactions of 2-nitropropane with methylenebispiperidine and with methylenebismorpholine exhibit second-order kinetics, first order in each component. The 2-nitropropane reacts through the aci form. The rate increases with increasing dielectric constant, and decreases in basic media. Methylenebispiperidine exhibits a faster rate than methylenebismorpholine. The greater reactivity of the piperidine derivative is attributed to its greater base strength. Mechanisms are presented for media of low and high dielectric constant.
