Kinetic studies on the rates of reactions of 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene with p-toluidine, aniline and p-chloroaniline in CH3CH-CH3OH binary solvent mixtures have been carried out. The experimental results have been explained in terms of the specific solvation by alcoholic hydrogen. It has been shown that the bond breaking step is rate determining in the solvent system studied and the energy barrier is getting low as the solvent changes from acetonitrile to methanol.
