BETA -Nitro alcohols form stable 1:1 complexes with pyridine, examples of which were prepared. In solvents such as dichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride the complexes partially dissociate into their components. The dissociation constants for the equilibria were determined by infrared methods and may be used as a measure of the strength of the complex hydrogen bond. The dissociation constants decrease with increasing number of BETA -nitro groups. Some reactions of the pyridine complexes are described. (auth
