The carbon acid 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane reacts with phenyltetramethylguanidine in the aprotic solvents acetonitrile, benzonitrile, and chlorobenzene in a bimolecular proton transfer reaction. The primary isotope effects, kH/kD, for these reactions at 25 °C are 8.5 ± 0.4, 6.1 ± 0.4, and 16 in acetonitrile, benzonitrile, and chlorobenzene respectively. The magnitude of the isotope effects on the enthalpy of activation [Formula: see text] are 2.3 ± 0.2, 1.6 ± 0.7, and 4.2 ± 0.6 kcal mol−1, which indicates a contribution from proton tunnelling to the reaction rate of the normal substrate.

Z would act as an electron acceptor and P would capture a hole in the unnatural DNA. The latter process would produce mutagenic products via a proton transfer reaction.

Proton Transfer Reactions

The rates of proton transfer reactions between C-acids of the series of nitroalkanes with increasing bulk of R = H, Me, Et, i-Pr substituent as: 4-nitrophenylnitromethane (0), 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane (1), 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitropropane (2), 2-methyl-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitropropane (3) and 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD), 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (MTBD) have been measured in acetonitrile at pseudo-first-order conditions. The product of the proton transfer reaction with MTBD in acetonitrile is dissociated into free ions while that of the TBD reaction is composed of a comparable amount of ions and ion pairs. The second-order rate constants (k2H) for these bases of almost equal strength in acetonitrile (pKa = 24.70, 24.97 for MTBD and TBD) and C-acids 1, 2, and 3 are: 317, 86, 7.6 dm3 mol–1 s–1; and 15 200, 5300, 1100 dm3 mol–1 s–1, respectively. The appropriate primary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD) are 12.5, 10.8, 6.9; and 9.9, 11.2, 12.6. The influence of steric hindrance brought by reacting C-acids and bases is discussed. The different structure of the transition states and the products as mono- and double-hydrogen bonded complexes for these series of C-acids and MTBD and TBD bases is manifested by a distinct reaction mechanism which we attempt to explain.Key words: proton transfer, kinetic study, C-acids, organic bases, acetonitrile, kinetic isotope effects.

The kinetics of the reaction of[Formula: see text](R = Me, Et, i-Pr; NPNE, NPNP, MNPNP respectively; L is H or D) with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) base in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and chlorobenzene (CB) solvents are reported. The products of these proton transfer reactions are ion pairs absorbing at λmax = 460–480 nm. The equilibrium constants in THF were [Formula: see text]and in CB [Formula: see text]for NPNE, NPNP, MNPNP respectively. The thermodynamic parameters of the reactions are also quoted. The substrate reacts with DBU in both THF and CB solvents in a normal second-order proton transfer reaction. In the case of deuteron transfer, isotopic D/H exchange is much faster than internal return. The reactions show low values of enthalpy of activation ΔH* = 14.3, 18.1, 24.2 and 13.0, 15.1, 18.6 kJmol−1 for NPNE, NPNP, and MNPNP in THF and CB respectively, and large negative entropies of activation −ΔS* = 141, 139, 146; 140, 146, 160 J mol−1 deg−1 for the same sequence of substrates and solvents. The kinetic isotope effects are large, (kH/kD)20°c = 12.2, 13.0, 10.1; 12.9, 12.0, 10.2 for the above sequence of substrates and solvents, and show no difference with changes in either steric hindrance of the C-acids or polarity of the solvents. Keywords: proton transfer, kinetic isotope effect.

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.
