Nucleophilic Reactivity

Reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl acetate and 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene as model substrates with 12 nucleophiles have been studied in dimethyl sulfoxide. The rate constants obtained have been discussed with regard to the nucleophilic reactivity differences in dimethyl sulfoxide and protic solvents inclusive of the different manifestation of the charge of nucleophiles. The applicability of an earlier-suggested correlation equation to the data obtained has been verified. The reaction medium markedly affects the reactivity of nucleophiles, the effect of charge being substantially greater in aprotic solvents (electrostatic interaction) than in protic ones (solvation). In spite of these differences the correlation with application of an empirical nucleophilicity scale suggested earlier is satisfactory, the regression coefficients obtained reflect changes in the nature of medium.

The kinetics of the reactions of trimethylsilyl enol ethers and enamines (derived from deoxybenzoin, indane-1-one, and α-tetralone) with reference electrophiles (p-quinone methides, benzhydrylium and indolylbenzylium ions) were measured by conventional and stopped-flow photometry in acetonitrile at 20 °C. The resulting second-order rate constants were subjected to a least-squares minimization based on the correlation equation lg k = s N(N + E) for determining the reactivity descriptors N and s N of the silyl enol ethers and enamines. The relative reactivities of structurally analogous silyl enol ethers, enamines, and enolate anions towards carbon-centered electrophiles are determined as 1, 107, and 1014, respectively. A survey of synthetic applications of enolate ions and their synthetic equivalents shows that their behavior can be properly described by their nucleophilicity parameters, which therefore can be used for designing novel synthetic transformations.

Rate constants for the reaction of diazodiphenylmethane with cyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acid and 2-methylcyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acid were determined in nine aprotic solvents, as well as in seven protic solvents, at 30?C using the appropriate UV-spectroscopic method. In protic solvents the unsubsituted acid displayed higher reaction rates than the methyl-substituted one. The results in aprotic solvents showed quite the opposite, and the reaction rates were considerably lower. In order to explain the obtained results through solvent effects, reaction rate constants (k) of the examined acids were correlated using the total solvatochromic equation of the form: log k=logk0+s?*+a?+b?, where ?* is the measure of the solvent polarity, a represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond donor acidities (HBD) and b represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond acceptor basicities (HBA). The correlation of the kinetic data were carried out by means of multiple linear regression analysis and the opposite effects of aprotic solvents, as well as the difference in the influence of protic and aprotic solvents on the reaction of the two examined acids with DDM were discussed. The results presented in this paper for cyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic and 2-methylcyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acids were compared with the kinetic data for benzoic acid obtained in the same chemical reaction, under the same experimental conditions.

The kinetics of the reactions of benzhydrylium ions with some alcohols and alkoxides dissolved in the corresponding alcohols were photometrically investigated. Using the correlation equation log k (20 °C) = s(E + N), the N and s parameters of methoxide, ethoxide, n-propoxide, and isopropoxide in alcohol–acetonitrile (91:9, v/v) were determined. The cosolvent acetonitrile has only a little influence on the rate constants of the reactions of alcohols and alkoxides. The order of N values (OH– << MeO– < EtO– < n-PrO– < i-PrO–) shows that alkoxides differ only moderately in reactivity but are considerably more nucleophilic than hydroxide. As a consequence, the nucleophilic reactivity of a 0.5 mmol/L aqueous hydroxide solution increases by a factor of 13 when 10% (v/v) methanol is added. In 1–10 mmol/L alkoxide solutions in alcohols, weak electrophiles react considerably faster with alkoxides than with the corresponding alcohols. With increasing electrophilicity, the preference for alkoxides decreases, and electrophiles of –3 < E < 3 react with alkoxides (1–10 mmol/L) and alcohols with comparable rates. Stronger electrophiles will react with alcohols exclusively when alkoxides are present in concentrations ≤10 mmol/L. Key words: kinetics, alcohol, alkoxide, linear free energy relationship, nucleophilicity.<

UV study of properties of 5-nitro-2-furylnitromethane (I) in various solvents has shown that this compound is a very strong acid (pKa 3.98) forming an ion pair in protic solvents (water, alcohols) and existing exclusively as nitro-form in aprotic solvents (tetrachloromethane, chloroform, n-hexane, diethyl ether, dioxane). Kinetic study of tautomerism in water has given experimental values of combined rate constants of parallel reactions. Thermodynamic parameters of the tautomeric transformations have been calculated from temperature dependence of the rate constants.

Rate constants for the reaction of diazodiphenylmethane with isomeric pyridine carboxylic acids were determined in chosen protic and aprotic solvents at 30 ?C, using the well known UV spectrophotometric method. The values of the rate constants of the investigated acids in protic solvents were higher than those in aprotic solvents. The second order rate constants were correlated with solvent parameters using the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic equation in the form: logk = logk0 + s?*+ a? + b?. The correlation of the obtained kinetic data were performed by means of multiple linear regression analysis taking appropriate solvent parameters. The signs of the equation coefficients were in agreement with the postulated reaction mechanism. The mode of the influence of the solvent on the reaction rate in all the investigated acids are discussed on the basis of the correlation results.

The rate constants for the reactions of diazodiphenylmethane (DDM) with 6-substituted nicotinic acids in aprotic solvents at 30?C were determined. The obtained second order rate constants in aprotic solvents, together with literature data for benzoic and nicotinic acids in protic solvents, were used for the calculation of solvent effects, employing the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic equation (linear solvation energy relationship - LSER) in the form: log k = log k0 + + s?*+ a? + b?. The correlations of the kinetic data were performed by means of multiple linear regression analysis taking appropriate solvent parameters. The sign of the equation coefficients (s, a and b) were in agreement with the postulated reaction mechanism, and the mode of the solvent influences on the reaction rate is discussed based on the correlation results. A similar contribution of the non-specific solvent effect and electrophilic solvation was observed for all acids, while the highest contribution of nucleophilic solvation was influenced by their high acidity. Correlation analysis of the rate data with substituent ?p parameters in an appropriate solvent using the Hammett equation was also performed. The substituent effect on the acid reactivity was higher in aprotic solvents of higher dipolarity/polarizability. The mode of the transmission of the substituent effect is discussed in light of the contribution of solute-solvent interaction on the acid reactivity.

Kinetics have been studied of oxidation of (1-hydroxybenzyl)ferrocenes substituted in phenyl ring with bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in benzene solutions as well as protonation of these alcohols in sulphuric acid medium. Logarithms of the oxidation rate constants (kobs, 20-40 °C) and those of the protonation equilibrium constants (KR+, 25 °C) show linear dependence on the Hammett σ constants, the ρ constant values being -0.86 to -0.40 and -2.50, respectively. These negative values suggest that the both processes are influenced by the same effects and confirm the mechanism proposed earlier for oxidation of alcohols with ferrocenyl substituent by action of bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in aprotic solvents.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with α -(4-nitrobenzylthio)-acetic acid in aqueous-dioxane media to give 4,4'-diformylazoxybenzene as the main product besides 4,4'-dicarboxyazoxybenzene and a nitrone acid. This reaction was kinetically studied in presence of excess of alkali in different dioxane-water media at different temperatures. It started by a fast reversible a-proton abstraction step followed by two consecutive irreversible first-order steps forming two intermediates (α -hydroxy, 4-nitrosobenzylthio)-acetic acid and 4-nitrosobenzaldehyde. The latter underwent a Cannizzaro's reaction, the products of which changed in the reaction medium into 4,4'-diformylazoxybenzene and 4,4'-dicarboxyazoxybenzene. The rate constants and the thermodynamic parameters of the two consecutive steps were calculated and discussed. A mechanism was put forward for the formation of the nitrone acid.Other six 4-nitrobenzyl, aryl sulphides were qualitatively studied and they gave mainly 4,4'-diformylazoxybenzene beside 4,4'-dicarboxyazoxybenzene or its corresponding azo acid.

Previous work on the reduction of a series of cobalt(III) complexes by iron(II) in dipolar aprotic solvents and in aqueous mixtures has been extended to reduction by copper(I). The greater stability of copper(I) to disproportionation in these media has permitted the study of the reduction of CoF(NH3)52+ and Co(HCOO)(NH3)52+ in range of solvents over a number of temperatures with a precision not possible in previous studies in water. The results are consistent with an inner-sphere mechanism in which the copper(I) reductant is preferentially solvated by dimethyl sulfoxide to the exclusion of water in mixed solvents.
