Hammett Relationship

A series of 22 phenyl substituted derivatives of 2-phenyl-1,1′,3,3′-tetramethylguanidine were used as bases in the proton transfer reaction from bis(4-nitrophenyl)cyanomethane in acetonitrile solvent. Brønsted and Hammett type relationships are examined for this family of closely related substrates. The Brønsted relationship constructed from the pKa values determined in acetonitrile shows β = 0.55 ± 0.03. The best fit of the Hammett relationship, with special values for p-NO2 and p-CN groups, gives the reaction constant ρ = −1.39 ± 0.1. The kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD, increases from 9.6 to 12.4 at 25 °C with decreasing base strength, i.e., when the reaction becomes more thermoneutral. Key words: tetramethylguanidine, proton transfer, deuterium isotope effects.

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 proton transfer reaction between 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and 1,1′,3,3′-tetramethylguanidine in dimethylformamide solvent shows a large primary deuterium isotope effect, kH/kD = 24.3 at 0 °C and 16.9 at 20 °C. The enthalpy of activation difference (ΔHD≠ − ΔHH≠) = 2.6 ± 0.4 kcal mol−1 and the entropy of activation difference (ΔSD≠ − ΔSH≠) = 3.4 ± 1.3 cal mol−1 K−1. This isotope effect, when fitted to Bell's equation, indicates that there is a considerable contribution to this reaction from tunnelling of the proton through the potential energy barrier.

Rate constants have been measured for the proton and deuteron transfer reactions of bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)methane (1) with 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) and 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and toluene solvents. Equilibrium constants, primary deuterium kinetic isotope effects, and activation parameters are reported. The reaction of 1 with DBU is faster than that with TMG by factors of 5 and 50 in toluene and DMSO respectively. The primary deuterium kinetic isotope effects, kH/kD = 7–9, which are independent of the polarity of the solvent, indicate an uncoupled mechanism of proton transfer and are in the "classical" region with little or no indication of a tunnelling contribution to the enthalpy of activation for these reactions. Key words: proton transfer, bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)methane, deuterium 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.
