20. Under the conditions employed, the reaction of undissociated ascorbic acid with nitrosobenzene is a minor part of the overall process (see also Fig. 1) and the obtained results can be, to a good approximation, referred to the reaction of nitrosobenzene with ascorbate.
21. -3 throughout. We have determined spectrophotometrically the solvent deuterium isotope effect on the dissociation of ascorbic acid (to the best of our knowledge, this isotope effect was not determined previously).
