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.

Alkyl and aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6 H)-carboxylates: A practical alternative to chloroformates for the synthesis of symmetric and asymmetric carbonates

Symmetric and asymmetric carbonates were synthesized by using alkyl or aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates. Five aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates were converted into the corresponding diaryl carbonates in good to excellent yields by treatment with potassium carbonate in refluxing THF. When the 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates were treated with aliphatic or aromatic alcohols in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide in toluene at room temperature, they gave the corresponding symmetric or asymmetric carbonates in moderate to excellent yields. Alkyl and aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates are therefore efficient, stable, and ecofriendly alternatives to chloroformates.

Synthesis of organic carbonates with alkyl/aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazine-1(6H)-carboxylates and ROH/AlCl3under ambient condition

We demonstrated the synthesis of organic carbonates using alkyl/aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazine-1(6H)-carboxylates and alcohol in the presence of aluminum chloride. Alkyl/aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazine-1(6H)-carboxylates were reacted with alcohol in the presence of AlCl3 in toluene at room temperature to afford the corresponding unsymmetric and symmetric organic carbonates in good to excellent yields. These are efficient and convenient processes. Alkyl/aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazine-1(6H)-carboxylates are solid, stable and non-toxic CO2/CO2R(Ar) source. It is noteworthy that the reaction is carry out under an ambient and acidic conditions, the easy-to prepare and readily available starting materials and the quantitative isolation of reusable 4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one.

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-.

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 the phenolysis of asymmetric diaryl carbonates

The reactions 4-methylphenyl 4-nitrophenyl carbonate (MPNPC), 4-chlorophenyl 4-nitrophenyl carbonate (CIPNPC), 4-methylphenyl 2,4-dinitrophenyl carbonate (MPDNPC), and 4-chlorophenyl 2,4-dinitrophenyl carbonate (CIPDNPC) with a homogeneous series of phenoxide anions are subjected to a kinetic investigation in aqueous solution (25.0°C, ionic strength 0.2 M (KCI)). Under an excess of phenoxide with respect to the substrate, all of these reactions obey pseudo-first-order kinetics and are first order in phenoxide. The Broensted-type plots for the nucleophilic rate constants (kN) are linear, with slopes β = 0.48 (MPNPC), 0.67 (C1PNPC), 0.41 (MPDNPC), and 0.32 (C1PDNPC). The magnitude of these slopes and the absence of a curvature in the Broensted plot at pKa = 7.1 for the C1PNPC reactions are consistent with concerted mechanisms (one step). The carbonates MPDNPC and C1PDNPC are more reactive than MPNPC and C1PNPC, respectively, toward phenoxide nucleophiles. This can be explained by the presence of a second nitro group in the nucleofuge of the dinitro derivatives, which (i) leaves their carbonyl carbon more positively charged, making them better electrophiles, and (ii) makes 2,4-dinitrophenoxide a better leaving group than 4-nitrophenoxide. The 4-chloro derivatives are more reactive than the corresponding 4-methyl derivatives. This should be due to the greater electron withdrawal of 4-chloro than 4-methyl, which makes the former carbonyl more electrophilic. Comparison of the concerted phenolysis of MPNPC with the stepwise reactions of secondary alicyclic amines with the same substrate indicates that substitution of a secondary alicyclic amine group in a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate by a phenoxy group greatly destabilizes the intermediate. An equation is deduced for log kN in terms of the basicity of the nucleophile, the nonleaving moiety, and the leaving group. This equation shows that for these reactions, the sensitivity of log kN to the basicity of the nonleaving moiety (βnlg = -0.27) is very similar to that of the nucleofuge (βlg = -0.25).
