- Kinetic study on nucleophilic displacement reactions of phenyl Y-substituted phenyl carbonates with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene: Effects of amine nature on reaction mechanism
-
Second-order rate constants (kN) for nucleophilic displacement reactions of phenyl Y-substituted phenyl carbonates (7a-7l) with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C have been measured spectrophotometrically. The Br?nsted-type plot for the reactions of 7a-7l with DBU is linear with βlg = -0.48, indicating that the reactions proceed through a concerted mechanism, which is in contrast to the stepwise mechanism reported previously for the corresponding reactions with ethylamine (a primary amine) and piperidine (a secondary amine). The Hammett plots correlated with σ- and σo constants exhibit many scattered points. In contrast, the Yukawa-Tsuno plot results in an excellent linear correlation with ρY = 1.27 and r = 0.57, implying that a negative charge develops partially on the O atom of the leaving group in the transition state. The bulky DBU is less reactive than the primary and secondary amines toward substrates possessing a weakly basic leaving group. It has been concluded that steric hindrance exerted by DBU in the plausible intermediate (T±) forces the reactions to proceed through a concerted mechanism because expulsion of the leaving group from T± could reduce the steric hindrance.

- A kinetic study on ethylaminolysis of phenyl y-substituted-phenyl carbonates: Effect of leaving-group substituents on reactivity and reaction mechanism
-
A kinetic study on nucleophilic substitution reactions of phenyl Y-substituted-phenyl carbonates (5a-5j) with ethylamine in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ± 0.1 oC is reported. The plots of kobsd vs. [amine] are linear for the reactions of substrates possessing a strong electron-withdrawing group (EWG) but curve upward for those of substrates bearing a weak EWG, indicating that the electronic nature of the substituent Y in the leaving group governs the reaction mechanism. The reactions have been concluded to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with one or two intermediates (a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate T± and its deprotonated form T-) depending on the nature of the substituent Y. Analysis of Bronsted-type plots and dissection of kobsd into microscopic rate constants have revealed that the reactions of substrates possessing a strong EWG (e.g., 5a-5f) proceed through T± with its formation being the rate-determining step, while those of substrates bearing a weak EWG (e.g., 5g-5j) proceed through T± and T-.

- Nucleophilic substitution reactions of phenyl y-substituted-phenyl carbonates with butane-2,3-dione monoximate and 4-chlorophenoxide: Origin of the α-effect
-
Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of phenyl Ysubstituted- phenyl carbonates 7a-g with butane-2,3-dione monoximate (Ox-) in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. The α-nucleophile Ox- is 53-95 times more reactive than the corresponding normalnucleophile 4-ClPhO- toward 7a-g, indicating that the α-effect is operative. The magnitude of the α-effect (e.g., the kOx/k4-ClPhO ratio) is independent of the electronic nature of the substituent Y. The cause of the α- effect for the reactions of 7a-g has been suggested to be ground-state (GS) effect rather than transition-state (TS) stabilization through a six-membered cyclic TS, in which Ox- behaves a general acid/base catalyst. This idea is further supported by the result that OH- exhibits negative deviation from the linear Bronsted-type plot composed of a series of aryloxides, while Ox- deviates positively from the linearity. Differential solvation of the GS of Ox- and 4-ClPhO- has been suggested to be responsible for the α-effect exerted by Ox-.

- Leaving-group substituent controls reactivity and reaction mechanism in aminolysis of phenyl y-substituted-phenyl carbonates
-
A kinetic study is reported for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of phenyl Y-substituted-phenyl carbonates (5a-5k) with piperidine in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. The plots of k obsd vs. [piperidine] for the reactions of substrates possessing a strong electron-withdrawing group (EWG) in the leaving group (i.e., 5a-5i) are linear and pass through the origin. In contrast, the plots for the reactions of substrates bearing a weak EWG or no substituent (i.e., 5j or 5k) curve upward, indicating that the electronic nature of the substituent Y in the leaving group governs the reaction mechanism. Thus, it has been suggested that the reactions of 5a-5i proceed through a stepwise mechanism with a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate (i.e., T±) while those of 5j and 5k proceed through a stepwise mechanism with two intermediates (i.e., T± and its deprotonated form T-). The slope of the Bronsted-type plot for the second-order rate constants (i.e., kN or Kk2) changes from -0.41 to -1.89 as the leaving-group basicity increases, indicating that a change in the rate-determining step (RDS) occurs. The reactions of 5a-5k with piperidine result in larger k1 values than the corresponding reactions with ethylamine. Copyright

- A kinetic study on nucleophilic displacement reactions of phenyl Y-substituted-phenyl carbonates with alkali metal ethoxides: Metal ion effect and reaction mechanism
-
Pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobsd) have been measured for reactions of phenyl Y-substituted-phenyl carbonates with alkali metal ethoxides (EtOM, M = Li, Na, and K). The plot of kobsd vs. [EtOM] curves upward for the reaction of diphenyl carbonate with EtOM but is linear for that with EtOK in the presence of 18-crown-6-ether (18C6), indicating that the reaction is catalyzed by M+ ions and the catalytic effect disappears in the presence of 18C6. The kobsd values for the reactions with EtOK have been dissected into fEtO- and kEtOK, i.e., the second-order rate constants for the reactions with dissociated EtO- and ion-paired EtOK, respectively. The Hammett plots correlated with σ- and σ-0 constants exhibit highly scattered points, while the Yukawa-Tsuno plots result in an excellent linear correlation with p = 2.11 and r = 0.21 for kEtO-, and P = 1.62 and r = 0.26 for kEtOK, implying that the reaction proceeds through a concerted mechanism. The catalytic effect (i.e., the kEtOK/kEtOr ratio) is independent of the electronic nature of the substituent Y. Thus, it has been concluded that K+ ion catalyzes the reaction by increasing the electrophilicity of the reaction center.

- Kinetics and mechanism of alkaline hydrolysis of Y-substituted phenyl phenyl carbonates
-
Second-order rate constants (kOH-) have been measured spectrophotometrically for alkaline hydrolysis of Y-substituted phenyl phenyl carbonates (2a-j) and compared with the kOH- values reported previously for the corresponding reactions of Y-substituted phenyl benzoates (1a-j). Carbonates 2a-j are 8 ~ 16 times more reactive than benzoates 1a-j. The Hammett plots correlated with σ- and σo constants exhibit many scattered points, while the Yukawa-Tsuno plot results in excellent linear correlation with ρ = 1.21 and r = 0.33. Thus, the reaction has been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism in which expulsion of the leaving group is advanced only a little. However, one cannot exclude a possibility that the current reaction proceeds through a forced concerted mechanism with a highly unstable intermediate.
