The kinetics of the ring-opening reactions of thiophenolates with geminal bis(acceptor)-substituted cyclopropanes in DMSO at 20 °C was monitored by photometric methods. The determined second-order rate constants of the SN2 reactions followed linear relationships with Mayr nucleophilicity parameters (N/sN) and Br?nsted basicities (pKaH) of the thiophenolates as well as with Hammett substituent parameters (σ) for groups attached to the thiophenolates. Phenyl-substituted cyclopropanes reacted by up to a factor of 15 faster than their unsubstituted analogues, in accord with the known activating effect of adjacent π-systems in SN2 reactions. Variation of the electronic properties of substituents at the phenyl groups of the cyclopropanes gave rise to parabolic Hammett relationships. Thus, the inherent SN2 reactivity of electrophilic cyclopropanes is activated by electron-rich π-systems because of the more advanced C1?C2 bond polarization in the transition state. On the other hand, electron-poor π-systems also lower the energetic barriers for the attack of anionic nucleophiles owing to attractive electrostatic interactions.

Donor-acceptor cyclopropanes are reacted with iodobenzene dichloride to afford ring-opened products bearing chlorine atoms in the 1- and 3-positions, adjacent to the donor and acceptor groups. A variety of different donors (e.g., alkyl, aryl, N, and O) and acceptor moieties (e.g., ketones, diesters, and dinitriles) are used.
