Rate data for the reaction of a series of benzohydrazonoyl halides with pyrrolidine and butan- 1-amine at 303 K are presented. Linear Hammett plots were obtained with each amine. The mechanism of the reactions and the stereochemical outcome of these displacements at the carbon-nitrogen double bond are discussed.

The reactions of a series of substituted benzohydrazonoyl halides with cyclic secondary amines in benzene as solvent are investigated. The rate equations for these reactions were complex and the derived rate data are reported. The element effect data showed that the fluoro compounds only reacted when a second amine molecule was available to assist the reaction, whereas the chloro and bromo compounds reacted by reactions which were both first order and second order in amine (k′′Br : k′′Cl = 9·5 : 1 and k′′′Br :k′′′Cl : k′′′F = 4·7 : 1 : 0·65). The mechanism of these reactions is discussed.

Rate data for the reaction of a number of benzohydrazonoyl compounds with methoxide ion are reported. The stereochemistry of the products was determined by h.p.l.c. The mechanism of the reactions and the stereochemistry of the products resulting from an addition-elimination mechanism are discussed.

Rate data for the solvolysis of a series of substituted benzohydrazonoyl halides in aqueous dioxan at 329 K and in aqueous ethanol and methanol at 303 K are presented. The products in the aqueous alcohols were measured by h.p.l.c ., and the selectivities determined. The data are used to support proposals about the mechanism of the reaction.

Methoxide ion substitution on 4-chloro-1H-2,3-benzoxazine 4 has been investigated. The rates of cyclization have been measured for (Z)- and (E)-O-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzohydroximoyl halides (PhC(X)=NOCH2CH2OH; X = Cl or Br) using potassium t-butoxide to generate alkoxide ions from the alcohols. The element effect for the Z and E isomers are kZBr/kZCl = 3.08 and kEBr/kECl = 2.38. The Z-to-E rate ratios are 0.25 (chlorides) and 0.33 (bromides). These reactions are proceeding by rate-determining nucleophilic attack by the alkoxide ion on the carbon–nitrogen double bond (AN# + DN). The restricted stereochemistry of the tetrahedral intermediates suggests that the E-hydroximoyl bromide and chloride may be undergoing unassisted ionization to form a zwitterionic intermediate that leads to product. Alternatively, the chair conformation of the tetrahedral intermediate may be undergoing a ring flip to a boat conformation in which there are antiperiplanar electron pairs that assist in the ionization of the bromide or chloride ion.

Rate data for the reaction of three series of aryl N-arylbenzimidates with methoxide ion at 303 K are presented. Linear Hammett plots were obtained for each series. Solvent isotope effects have also been measured. The results are interpreted in terms of rate-determining formation of a tetrahedral intermediate, irrespective of the nature of the substituent.

Photoisomerization mechanism in model retinal-like protonated Schiff base pentadieniminium was investigated by using MNDO method with configuration interaction. Isomerizations around various double bonds were studied and twisted biradical geometries in S0 and S1 states were optimized. Photoisomerization proceeds exclusively around the central double bond where the twisted S1 state is strongly stabilized and the S0-S1 gap is minimal.

An aspect of the synthesis of sterically defined trisubstituted double bonds is discussed. Metal-ammonia reductions of hydropyridinium salts such as (1 ; R, R' = H or Me) result in allylic fissions, with a considerable proportion of double bond retention in its original situation and complete retention of the original steric configuration in that position.

Abstract The chlorination of rubber solutions by gaseous chlorine was followed by isolating the partially chlorinated products and preparing their ozonides. The ozonides were hydrolyzed, and the acids and aldehydes formed on hydrolysis were determined. By a comparison with the amounts of acids and aldehydes obtained from ozonides of unreacted rubber, the amount of residual isoprenic double bonds present was found. The loss of double bonds attending the introduction of chlorine atoms into the molecule of rubber indicates four definite stages in chlorination : (1) initial substitutive attack by chlorine, with concomitant cyclization, resulting in a loss of one double bond between two isoprenic units, (2) substitution, (3) additive reaction, and (4) essentially substitution. Chlorination of aged rubber solutions differs from the above in that the cyclization reaction (stage 1) seems to be absent.
