The equilibrium constants, the second-order rate constants, and the activation parameters have been determined for the proton transfer from di-(4-nitrophenyl)methane to ethoxide ion in a series of mixed solvents containing various amounts of acetonitrile in ethanol. The quantities have been interpreted in terms of the general postulates of the Miller–Parker theory of solvation effects.

The excited state intramolecular proton transfer reactions are increasingly difficult to occur in these solvents: Toluene → THF → DCM → ACN → DMSO.

The second-order rate constants have been measured over a range of temperatures for the proton-transter reactions from di-(4-nitrophenyl)methane to ethoxide, isopropoxide, and t-butoxide ions in solvents consisting of the corresponding alcohols containing 10% toluene by volume. The activation parameters ΔH≠ and ΔS≠ have been calculated and an interpretation of them is given in terms of solvation effects during the activation process. A comparison between the activation parameters for proton transfers and E2 olefin-forming β-elimination reactions is made and discussed with respect to transition state character of the latter reactions.

At the 3-21G (3-21G*) computational level, the intrinsic barriers associated with proton transfer between XCH2− and CH3X have been found to be essentially constant (ca. 10 kcal/mol) for X = H, F, SH, Cl. According to the Marcus rate-equilibrium treatment of proton transfer reactions, this result means that transition states should not exist for gas phase reactions [Formula: see text], when the energy change exceeds 20 kcal/mol. This prediction has been confirmed for two cases (X = H, F) in which the energy change is less than 20 kcal/mol, and two cases (X = SH, Cl) in which the energy change is greater than 20 kcal/mol.

The primary deuterium isotope effect has been measured for the proton transfer reaction from di-(4-nitrophenyl)methane to t-butoxide ion in a solvent consisting of 10% v/v toluene in t-butanol at a series of temperatures between 20 and 45 °C. The isotopic rate ratio, kH/kD, is 7.3 at 25 °C. The activation parameters showed an enthalpy of activation difference (ΔHD≠ − ΔHH≠) of only ca. [Formula: see text] kcal mol−1 and an entropy isotope effect (ΔSD≠ − ΔSH≠) of −2.4 cal mol−1 deg−1. The latter indicates, according to the theory of Bell, that tunnelling of the proton through the energy barrier is unimportant in this reaction. This result is compared to other reactions in the literature, in which tunnelling has been postulated to occur.
