Popis: Ultraviolet spectral and kinetic measurements are reported for the transformations in aqueous solution undergone by the cyclic iminium ion, the 2-aryl-1-methyl-1-pyrrolinium ion I+. In solutions with pH +. The concentration of the latter at equilibrium is small, but it can be observed using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A kinetic analysis provides a measure of the [Formula: see text] equilibrium constant. Values range from 0.06 for 4-methoxyphenyl to 0.17 for 3-chlorophenyl. In acid solutions (pH + ranging from 11.8 to 11.3. Spectral arguments imply that the base species is the ring-opened 4-methylaminobutyrophenone S, with less than ten percent of the pseudobase of I+ present.
