Second-order rate constants have been measured for the reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted benzenesulfonates with a series of primary amines. The nucleophilic substitution reaction proceeds through competitive S-O and C-O bond fission pathways. The S-O bond fission occurs dominantly for reactions with highly basic amines or with substrates having a strong electron-withdrawing group in the sulfonyl moiety. On the other hand, the C-O bond fission occurs considerably for the reactions with low basic amines or with substrates having a strong electron-donating group in the sulfonyl moiety, emphasizing that the regioselectivity is governed by both the amine basicity and the electronic effect of the sulfonyl substituent X. The apparent second-order rate constants for the S-O bond fission have resulted in a nonlinear Bronsted-type plot for the reaction of 2,4-dinitrophenyl benzenesulfonate with 10 different primary amines, suggesting that a change in the rate-determining step occurs upon changing the amine basicity. The microscopic rate constants (k1 and k2/k-1 ratio) associated with the S-O bond fission pathway support the proposed mechanism. The second-order rate constants for the S-O bond fission result in good linear Yukawa-Tsuno plots for the aminolyses of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted benzenesulfonates. However, the second-order rate constants for the C-O bond fission show no correlation with the electronic nature of the sulfonyl substituent X, indicating that the C-O bond fission proceeds through an SNAR mechanism in which the leaving group departure occurs rapidly after the rate-determining step.

In cyclisations of aryl ο-halogenoalkyl ketones to aryl cycloalkyl ketones with base, cyclopropanes are formed up to 23000 times faster than cyclopentanes.Hydrogen-deuterium exchange experiments and very low bromide-chloride ratios (1.9) for three-membered ring formation are consistent with rate-determining deprotonation of the ketone.By contrast, in five-membered ring formation, hydrogen-deuterium exchange adjacent to the carbonyl group occurs much faster than cyclisation and the chloride-bromide ratio is 'normal' at 99.In formation of arylsulphonylcyclopropanes from arylsulphonylpropyl arenesulphonates, the Hammett ρ value for the leaving group is +1.7, and for intermolecular substitution by bis-sulphonyl stabilised carbanions, +1.2.Attempts to obtain ρLG values for five-membered ring formation were frustrated by competing intermolecular reactions.The results are discussed against the background of previous work on ring formation by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution.
