Elimination reactions of(Z)-thiophene- and (Z)-furan-2-carbaldehyde O-benzoyloximes 1 and 2 with DBU in MeCN have been investigated kinetically. The reactions are second order and exhibit substantial values of Hammett rho and k(H)/k(D) values, and an E2 mechanism is evident. The relative rates of elimination from (Z)-ArCH=NOC(O)C6H4Y are 1/1.1/0.6 for Ar = phenyl/thienyl/furyl, respectively. For reactions of 1 with DBU in MeCN, k(H)/k(D) = 8.2 +/- 0.1, Hammett rho = 1.22 +/- 0.19, beta(1g) = -0.43 +/- 0.01, Delta H-double dagger = 5.9 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol, and Delta S-double dagger = -28.5 +/- 0.3 eu have been determined. The corresponding values for 2 are k(H)/k(D) = 8.8 +/- 0.2, rho = 1.87 +/- 0.05, beta(1g) = -0.55 +/- 0.10, Delta H-double dagger = 6.5 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol, and Delta S-double dagger = -29.0 +/- 1.5 eu. The k(H)/k(D), Hammett rho, and \beta(1g)\ values increase as the beta-aryl group is changed in the order phenyl < thienyl < furyl. The results indicate that the transition state structure for the nitrile-forming elimination changes slightly toward product-like with the change of the beta-aryl group.
