linear-chain nucleophiles are compared with those
corresponding to b-branched ROH nucleophiles (Table

value of K[1a,linear-chain ROH] (K[1a,i-

Steric hindrance caused by the structure of the
nucleophile must be the dominant effect for secondary
and tertiary alcohols. The equilibrium constants for the
addition of i-PrOH or s-BuOH are of comparable
magnitude for both substrates, but ca 10 times smaller
than the ‘linear-chain ROH’ value. No reaction was
observed between either substrate and t-BuOH.

AllyiOH and ET(OH) should, in what refers to steric
2
effects, be similar to n-PrOH. The equilibrium constant
values should therefore be ordered according to the
inductive effect [i.e. n-PrOH >AllylOH >ET(OH)2].
However, K values for the reaction with 1a were

The discrepant high value for ET(OH) might be related

to the ability of the resulting thiadiazoline to form an H-
bonded ring, such as that depicted in Fig. 4, obtained by a
geometry optimization with a semiempirical (PM3)
method.

The lack of addition of alcohols to 1c and 1d must be
related to the smaller electropositive character of the
heterocyclic carbon atoms of these substrates due to the
charge dispersal possibilities of their p-system, which,
besides being larger than those of 1a or 1b, are also

irreversibly with 1a, is necessary to observe addition
reactions to 1c. The resulting thiadiazoline, however, is
structurally different (Scheme 2).
Although a relatively small number of different
solvents could be used, the good single-parameter
