Enantiomerically enriched allyl halides are rare due to their configurational lability. Here we report stable piperidine-based allyl chloride enantiomers. These allyl chlorides can be produced via resolution, and undergo highly enantiospecific catalyst-free substitution reactions with C, N, O and S-based nucleophiles. Deuterium-labelled chloro-tetrahydropyridine, selectively prepared using the H/D primary kinetic isotope effect, and DFT calculations were used to investigate the mechanisms of the reactions. The allyl chlorides may also serve as valuable mechanistic tools for probing stereoselective reaction pathways.

Spectroscopic and conductivity studies of sodium thiophenoxide solutions in four different solvents and the secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effects found in the presence of 15-crown-5 ether demonstrate that the secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effect and transition state structure for the SN2 reaction between sodium thiophenoxide and n-butyl chloride are significantly different, depending on whether the ionic reactant is a solvent-separated ion-pair complex or a free ion. In all three solvents in which the form of the ionic reactant changes, a smaller isotope effect and tighter transition state are found for the reaction with the ion-pair complex.

A very large secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effect of 1.179 ± 0.007 (1.086 ± 0.003 per α-deuterium) has been observed for the SN2 reaction of thiophenoxide ion with benzyldimethylphenylammonium ion in DMF at 0°C. This large isotope effect which is far outside the range reported for SN2 reactions, is attributed to the fact that the extraordinarily large steric crowding around the Cα—H bonds in the substrate is reduced in the SN2 transition state. The structure of the transition state is shown to be consistent with this hypothesis.

The mechanism of the elimination reaction of 2-arylethyltrimethylammonium ions with ethoxide ion in ethanol has been examined using tracer and kinetic isotope effect techniques. Absence of exchange with solvent of both 2-phenylethyltrimethylammonium-2,2-d2 bromide and 2-(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)-ethyltrimethylammonium-2,2-d2 bromide and the observation of nitrogen isotope effects of 1.3 and 0.9%, respectively, have eliminated a two-step process involving a freely-solvated carbanion intermediate for both salts. The observation of only a slight change in the magnitude of the nitrogen isotope effect when the solvent is changed from ethanol to water has also excluded a zwitterionic intermediate which is specifically hydrogen-bonded to the molecule of ethanol formed by removal of a β-hydrogen by ethoxide ion. Finally, tracer studies using α- and β-dideuterated substrates have eliminated the less probable reaction pathways involving ylide and carbene intermediates. It is concluded that the reaction of 2-arylethyltrimethylammonium salts with ethoxide ion is a concerted E2 process.
