The temperature dependence of the rates of hydrolysis of cis- and trans-2-vinylcyclopropyl bromides has been determined in water. The temperature coefficient of the enthalpy of activation (ΔCp≠) for both compounds was unusual (−27 and −35 cal mol−1 deg−1). From this fact, it was concluded that the charge development at the transition state was low, in agreement with the conclusions of Clark and Smale (19). The slightly inverse α-deuterium isotope effect (kH/kD = 0.994) is consistent with that conclusion.

Hydrolysis Of

Diethylsulfamoyl chloride (2) hydrolyzes eight times faster than dimethylsulfamoyl chloride (1). In 2 the secondary deuterium isotope effect was found to be about 2, hence hydrogen participation is important in the hydrolysis of this compound. The temperature coefficient of the enthalpy of activation [Formula: see text] is exceptional (−39 cal mol−1 deg−1) for a reaction presumably following an SN1 mechanism. The kinetic solvent isotope effect was normal for such a mechanism. The corresponding value of [Formula: see text] for the hydrolysis of piperidylsulfamoyl chloride (4) was about the same as found for 2 while the value for the methylethyl isomer (3) was −66 cal deg−1 mol−1, an intermediate value supporting an explanation based on solvent exclusion. Experiments in mixed solvents support the hypothesis that solvent reorganization is the major factor in determining the value of [Formula: see text]for 2 but not for 4.

Enthalpy Of Activation

The secondary β-deuterium isotope effect (kH/kD) has been measured over a range of temperature for the water solvolysis reactions of isopropyl methanesulphonate, p-toluenesulphonate, and bromide. In these cases the isotope effect is due to a difference in entropies of activation of the isotopic analogues rather than a difference in the enthalpies of activation. It is suggested that the observed isotope effect is due to internal rotational effects of the methyl groups in the isopropyl radical, and the lack of an isotope effect on the enthalpy of activation is accounted for by a cancellation of an effect from this source and one from zero-point energy.

The temperature dependence of the rate of hydrolysis of α-bromoisobutyrate ion in water was determined over a temperature range 9–37 °C. From these data corresponding values of ΔH≠, ΔS≠, and ΔCP≠ have been derived. The implication of these terms, together with corresponding data for hydrolysis in D2O and for the secondary deuterium isotope effect from the hydrolysis of (CD3)2CBrCOO−, provide a basis for reexamining the detailed mechanism with particular reference to accompanying solvent reorganization.

The temperature coefficients of the enthalpy of activation [Formula: see text] for the hydrolysis of the three chlorosulfates, methyl, ethyl, and β-chloro, are shown to have values of −50,−55, and −60 cal deg−1 mol−1; values in the same range as previously reported for the hydrolysis of the sulfonyl chlorides. The corresponding value for the β-methoxy isomer was −40 cal deg−1 mol−1, about the same as found for the p-methoxybenzenesulfonyl chloride. The kinetic solvent isotope effect, however, was significantly lower than reported for the sulfonyl chloride series, being about the same as found for the hydrolysis of the alkyl halides. While some degree of nucleophilic overlap is probably required in the activation process, the requirement here is reduced to about the same level as that for the primary halides, and there is no need to postulate a different mechanism on passing from the methyl to the ethyl member of the series, confirming the earlier conclusion of Buncel and Millington.

The temperature dependence of the rate of hydrolysis of benzoic, phthalic, and succinic anhydrides have been determined in H2O and D2O under "neutral" conditions. Corresponding data have been obtained for methyl trifluoroacetate. While both series supposedly react by the same BAc2 mechanism, remarkable differences are made obvious by this investigation. Possible sources of such differences are proposed.

Kinetics Of

4-Nitrophenylnitromethane reacts with 2,7-dimethoxy-1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene in acetonitrile in a bimolecular proton transfer, which shows a primary deuterium isotope effect, kH/kD = 12.2 at 25 °C. The large isotope effect on the enthalpy of activation, (ΔHD≠ – ΔHH≠) = 4.6 ± 0.3 kcal mol−1 is consistent with a significant contribution of proton tunnelling to the reaction rate of the protium substrate.The analogous reaction of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane with the same base in acetonitrile gives contrasting kinetics and reaction parameters. The reaction is first order, showing no dependence on base concentration. While the isotope effect kH/kD = 9.3 at 25 °C, the enthalpy of activation difference (ΔHD≠ – ΔHH≠) is only 0.5 ± 0.1 kcal mol−1. It is concluded that the 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane undergoes a slow dissociation, with a very small dissociation constant, followed by a fast association with the base to yield the carbanion ion-pair.

The temperature dependence of the rate of hydrolysis of methyl perchlorate has been measured and the entropy (ΔS≠), enthalpy (ΔH≠), and heat capacity (ΔCp≠) of activation calculated. The measurements confirm that the perchlorate ion is superior to all other leaving groups in water. The isotope effect related to the hydrolysis of methyl-d3 perchlorate has been measured at three temperatures and shown to be inverse. The thermodynamic parameters and the isotope effect were examined with respect to the mechanism of substitution at a primary carbon atom.
