It is shown that the acidity dependence of the rate of nitrosation of aromatic amines and of hydroxylamine in strongly acidic aqueous solutions does not necessarily involve the rearrangement of a charge transfer complex (consisting of the NO + ion and the substrate with an NH 3 +group) in concert with a proton loss at the NH 3 +group. More likely, proton loss of the charge complex preceeds the π → N rearrangement of the NO + ion.
