The kinetics of the reaction of 2,4-dinitrohalogenobenzenes (chlorine, bromine, and iodine derivatives) with tetraethylammonium azide in acetonitrile and in a mixed acetonitrile-dioxane solvent (80 vol. % dioxane) were studied. It was established that there is a marked increase (by more than three orders of magnitude) in the azidization rate constant in the transition from protic solvents to aprotic media, due to the decrease in the activation energy barrier of the reaction. The nucleophilicity parameters N/sup +/ for the azide ion in the investigated solvents were determined in terms of Ritchie's relationship. It was established that the effect of the nature of the leaving group on the rate constant of the reactions is complex in character, and it was shown that treatment of the relative reactivity series for the investigated substrates must be based on an analysis of the activation parameters and not restricted to data obtained at only one temperature.
