In the reaction of a series of benzohydrazide derivatives towards p-nitrophenyl acetate, benzohydrazide derivatives establish intramolecular proton rearrangement leaving the enol form as the proximate nucleophile. This feature explains the low response in the reaction rate coefficients expected from inductive substituent effects.
