Using a set of sulphides o- and p-XC6H4SMe, the electronic effect, steric hindrance, and anchimeric assistance for electrophilic Cl+ addition by TsNHCI and O-transfer by NalO4 were investigated by a kinetic method. The steric effect and anchimeric assistance of the ortho-substituents were evaluated by comparing the reactivity of ortho- and para-substituted compounds (K = ko/kp). For neighbouringgroup activity the following order was obtained: CH2OH ~ CH2OMe ~ CH2CO2Me CH2CO2H ~ CH2NMe2 CH2C02 - ~ CHO CO2Me ~ CO2H COMe ~ CONH2 C02- Reaction rates show that the anchimeric assistance is governed by an S mellip; 0 or S ... N close contact developed in the transition state between oppositely polarized heteroatoms. Factors controlling neighbouringgroup participation through attractive non-bonded interactions are discussed.
