A kinetic study on nucleophilic substitution reactions of 4-nitrophenyl X-substituted-benzoates (7a-i) with EtOK in anhydrous ethanol at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C is reported. The plots of pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobsd) vs. [EtOK] curve upward. Dissection of kobsd into the second-order rate constants for the reactions with the dissociated EtOV and ion-paired EtOK (i.e., kEtO-and kEtOK, respectively) has revealed that the ion-paired EtOK is more reactive than the dissociated EtOV. Hammett plots for the reactions of 7a-i with the dissociated EtOV and ion-paired EtOK exhibit excellent linear correlations with aX = 3.00 and 2.47, respectively. The reactions have been suggested to proceed through a stepwise mechanism in which departure of the leaving-group occurs after the RDS. The correlation of the kEtOK/kEtO{ ratio with the aX constants exhibits excellent linearity with a slope of V0.53. It is concluded that the ion-paired EtOK catalyzes the reaction by increasing the electrophilicity of the reaction center rather than by enhancing the nucleofugality of the leaving group.

Second-order rate constants (kN) were measured for aminolyses of Y-substituted-phenyl 2-methoxybenzoates 2a-i and 4-nitrophenyl X-substituted-benzoates 3a-j in MeCN at 25.0 °C. The Bronsted-type plot for the reactions of 2a-i with piperidine curves downward, indicating that a change in rate-determining step (RDS) occurs. The Hammett plot for the reactions of 3a-j with piperidine consists of two intersecting straight lines, which might be taken as evidence for a change in RDS. However, the nonlinear Hammett plot has been suggested not to be due to a change in RDS but rather to the stabilization of the ground state of substrates possessing an electron-donating group (EDG) (e.g., 3a-c) through a resonance interaction, since the corresponding Yukawa-Tsuno plot exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ρ = 0.54 and r = 1.54. The ρ value found for the reactions of 3a-j in MeCN is much smaller than that reported previously for the corresponding reactions in H2O (i.e., ρ = 0.75). It is proposed that the reactions of 3a-j in MeCN proceed through a forced concerted mechanism due to instability of T± in the aprotic solvent, while the reactions of 2a-i proceed through a stepwise pathway with a stabilized T ± through an intramolecular H-bonding interaction.

Previous mechanistic and crystallographic studies on two C-C hydrolase enzymes, Escherichia coli MhpC and Burkholderia xenovorans BphD, support a general base mechanism for C-C hydrolytic cleavage, rather than the nucleophilic mechanism expected for a ser
Structure-reactivity correlations in nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-substituted phenyl X-substituted benzoates with anionic and neutral nucleophiles

A kinetic study is reported for the reactions of 4-nitrophenyl X-substituted benzoates (1a-l) and Y-substituted phenyl benzoates (2a-l) with two anionic nucleophiles (OH- and CN-) and three amines (piperidine, hydrazine, and glycylglycine) in 80 mol% H2O-20 mol% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. Each Hammett plot exhibits two intersecting straight lines for the reactions of 1a-l with the anionic nucleophiles and piperidine, while the Yukawa-Tsuno plots for the same reactions are linear. The Hammett plots for the reactions of 2a-l with hydrazine and glycylglycine demonstrate much better linear correlations with σ- constants than with σ° or σ constants, indicating that the leaving group departure occurs at the rate determining step (RDS). On the contrary, σ- constants result in poorer Hammett correlation than σ° constants for the corresponding reactions with OH- and CN-, indicating that the leaving group departure occurs after the RDS for the reactions with the anionic nucleophiles. The large ρX value (1.7 ± 0.1) obtained for the reactions of 1a-l with the anionic nucleophiles supports the proposal that the reactions proceed through an addition intermediate with its formation being the RDS.

Kinetic and mechanistic details of the imidazole-catalyzed hydrolysis of substituted phenyl benzoates in 10percent acetonitrile in water (V/V) were examined.The following 4 ester series were studied: p-nitrophenyl p-X-benzoates (X = CH3, H, Cl, CN, NO2, series I), p-Y-phenyl p-nitrobenzoates (Y = CH3, H, Cl, CN, NO2, series II), 2,4-dinitrophenyl p-X-benzoates (X = CH3O, H, Cl, CN, NO2, series III) and p-Y-phenyl 2,4-dinitrobenzoates (Y = CH3, H, Cl, CN, NO2, series IV).Based on: catalytic rate constants, activation parameters, kinetic solvent isotope effects, Hammett (ρ) values and the spectroscopic detection of the reaction intermediates, the following conclusions were reached: a) imidazole acts as a nucleophilic catalyst, i.e., the hydrolysis occurs via the intermediate formation of acylimidazole; b) the leaving group is the phenoxide ion; c) the rate limiting step is the decomposition of the tetrahedral intermediate that precedes the acylimidazole (series I, II and IV) or the attack of imidazole on the acyl group of the ester (series III).
