course of nitration, bromination, and demethylation reactions of metameconine and its derivatives. The discovery that metameconine could easily be dinitrated enabled us to bring to light equally interesting results in the relative rates of reduction of the nitro groups, in the course of certain nucleophilic substitutionreactions, in the activation of the methylene group, and in certain physical properties
