(Chemical Equation Presented) A kinetic study is reported for aminolysis of O-Y-substituted phenyl thionobenzoates (la-f) and O-4-nitrophenyl X-substituted thionobenzoates (2a-f) in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ± 0.1°C. The reaction proceeds through one or two intermediates (i.e., a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate T± and its deprotonated form T-) depending on the basicity difference between the nucleophile and nucleofuge, that is, the reaction proceeds through T ± when the leaving aryloxide is less basic than the attacking amine, but through T± and T- when the leaving group is more basic than the amine. However, the reaction mechanism is not influenced by the electronic nature of the substituent X in the nonleaving group. The Hammett plot for the reactions of 2a-f with benzylamine is consisted of two intersecting straight lines, which might be interpreted as a change in the rate-determining step (RDS). However, the Yukawa-Tsuno plot for the same reactions exhibits an excellent linear correlation, indicating that the nonlinear Hammett plot is not due to a change in the RDS but caused by stabilization of the ground-state of the substrate through resonance interaction between the electron-donating substituent X and the thionocarbonyl moiety.

This study reports the behaviour of aromatic aldehydes and aliphatic or alicyclic primary amines in the Willgerodt-Kindler reaction.Three different model substrates (benzaldehyde, 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and 6-formyl-2(3H)benzoxazolinone) were investigated and a study of the solvent effect was carried out.When DMF was used as solvent, clean reactions and good yields were always obtained, which emphasizes the value of the Willgerodt-Kindler reaction in the functionalizing of aromatic aldehydes to thioamides.
