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.

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.

Deuteron Transfer

Rate constants for the proton and deuteron transfer from 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane to cesium n-propoxide in n-propanol have been measured under pseudo-first-order conditions with an excess of base for four temperatures between 5 and 35 °C. Using literature values of the fraction of cesium n-propoxide ion pairs that are dissociated into free ions, separate second-order rate constants for the proton and deuteron transfer to the ion pair and to the free ion have been calculated. The cesium n-propoxide ion pair is about 2.8 times more reactive than the free n-propoxide ion. The primary kinetic isotope effects for the two reactions are the same (kH/kD = 6.1–6.3 at 25 °C) within experimental error. The enthalpy of activation is smaller for the ion-pair reaction and the entropy of activation more negative than for the free-ion reaction. For proton transfer, ΔH±ion pair = 8.3 ± 0.2 kcal mol−1, ΔH±ion = 9.6 ± 1.0 kcal mol−1, ΔS±ion pair = −12.3 ± 0.6 cal mol−1 deg−1, ΔS±ion = −10.1 ± 3.4 cal mol−1 deg−1. The greater reactivity of the ion pair relative to the free ion is interpreted in terms of the weaker solvation shell of the ion pair in the initial state.
