Mechanism of the Solution-Phase Reaction of Alkyl Sulfides Atomic Hydrogen. Reduction via a 9-S-3 Radical Intermediate

The low selectivity of benzyl alkyl sulfide fragmentation subsequent to its reaction with atomic hydrogen is indicative of a reaction that proceeds via an early transition state. The competitive reduction of a series of substituted-benzyl alkyl sulfides was insensitive to the substituent on the aromatic ring (ρ = -0.13, r = 0.99). The relative rates of fragmentation of a series of the substituted-benzyl alkyl sulfides gave a V-shaped Hammett plot. Both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups destabilized the transition state (ρ = +0.99, r = 0.999; ρ = -0.82, r = 0.992). Since the relative rates of disappearance of the alkyl benzyl sulfides are not substituent dependent, but the relative rates of fragmentation are, a 9-S-3 intermediate is preferred as the structure leading to products.

Correlation pKa - activitee catalitique des thiols dans la reeaction d'hydrolyse de l'aceetate de p-nitropheenyle

The kinetic study of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylacetate in the presence of primary thiols indicates the thiolate anion as the sole catalytic species.Comparison of the true second order constants (kRS-) reveals that purely aliphatic primary thiols behave differently from aromatic α-substituted primary thiols.In the latter group a correlation can be established between the true second order rate constants and the pKSH values by means of the Broensted equation log kRS- = βpKSH + C, with β equal to 0.40 and C equal to -0.85.
