The reactions of substituted benzhydryl bromides Ar2CHBr with primary and secondary amines in DMSO yield benzhydryl amines Ar 2CHNRR′, benzophenones Ar2CdO, and benzhydrols Ar2CHOH. Kinetic investigations at 20°C revealed the rate law -d[Ar2CHBr]/dt = (k1 + k2[HNRR′])[Ar 2CHBr], where the amine independent term k1 gave rise to the formation of Ar2CdO and Ar2CHOH and the amine-dependent term k2[HNRR′] was responsible for the formation of Ar2CHNRR′. Clear evidence for concomitant S N1 and SN2 processes was obtained. While the rate constants of the SN1 reactions correlate with Hammett's σ+ constants (ρ = -3.22), the second-order rate constants k2 for the SN2 reactions are not correlated with the electron releasing abilities of the substituents, indicating that the transition states of the SN2 reactions do not merge with the transition states of the SN1 reactions. The correlation equation log k 20°C = s(E + N), where nucleophiles are characterized by N and s and electrophiles are characterized by E (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 9500-9512), was used to calculate the lifetimes of benzhydrylium ions in the presence of amines and DMSO. The change from SN1 to SN2 mechanism occurred close to the point where the calculated rate constant for the collapse of the benzhydrylium ions with the amines just reaches the vibrational limit; that is, the concerted SN2 mechanism was only followed when it was enforced by the lifetime of the intermediate. The nucleophile-specific parameters N and s needed for this analysis were determined by studying the kinetics of the reactions of a variety of amines with amino-substituted benzhydrylium tetrafluoroborates (Ar2CH+BF4-) of known electrophilicity E in DMSO. Analogously, the rates of the reactions of laser flash photolytically generated benzhydrylium ions Ar2CH + with DMSO in acetonitrile were employed to determine the nucleophile-specific parameters N and s of DMSO, and it is reported that DMSO is a significantly stronger O-nucleophile than water and ordinary alcohols.
