Interaction of a Weakly Acidic Dinitroaromatic with Alkylamines: Avoiding the Meisenheimer Trap.

Polynitroaromatics are well-known to form anionic s-complexes (Meisenheimer complexes). The formation of such complexes was assumed in the past to explain the blue color of solutions of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) and amines. However, this work shows that caution is warranted to avoid the hasty misiden...
