134. Two equivalents of nitromethane were used to get more precise kinetic data: First, the slower reaction rate with reduced amount of nitromethane provided more data points in reaction monitoring by HPLC. Second, use of 2 equiv of nitromethane also facilitates the peak separation in HPLC. With 10 equiv of nitromethane, the large nitromethane peak tends to overlap with the 2-methoxy benzaldehyde peak.
