congestion in the TS invariably increases as the anilines become
weakly basic. In other words, the frown reactivity of the
nucleophile results in a greater degree of bond formation.

The activation parameters, enthalpies, and entropies of the
reaction were determined (Table S2, Supplementary Material).
The enthalpies of activation were small and the entropies of
activation were large negative values. The small value of
enthalpy and large negative value of entropy are typical for
the aminolyses of P¼O (and P¼S) systems. Therefore, the
reaction mechanism by means of the activation parameters is not
easy for the aminolyses of P¼O (and P¼S) systems.
the b values found the sequence is 3 . 4 . 7 . 1 . 6 . 2. It is
clear that the b values do not depend on the positive charge
development at the reaction centre P atom. The variation in
magnitude in b values indicates that they do not have any major
role on the charge development either at the positive reaction
centre P atom or at the nucleophilic N atom in the reaction
system. The concerted mechanism with predominantly backside

the fraction of a frontside attack increased as the aniline was
more basic. A hydrogen-bonded, four-centre-type TS was sug-
gested for a frontside attack, while the trigonal bipyramidal
pentacoordinate TS was suggested for a backside attack. A
