We studied the transformation of phenol in the presence of nitrous acid in the dark. The main detected intermediates were 2-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol and 4-nitrosophenol. For the first time a kinetic analysis of the reaction in a pH interval relevant to environmental chemistry has been carried out. The kinetic data are consistent with phenol transformation being initiated by HNO₂. The results are relevant to the chemistry of the atmosphere, where HNO₂ forms upon heterogeneous conversion of ·NO₂, and to water treatment techniques.
