Plot of initial rate vs initial ArH concentration for the ortholithiation of ArH with LDA (0.050 M) in THF (12.2 M) at −78 °C measured with IR spectroscopy (1323 cm−1). The curve depicts an unweighted least-squares fit to a first-order saturation function: y = (a[ArH])/(1 + b[ArH]). [a = (3.6 ± 0.7) × 10−4, b = (74 ± 20)].
