In order to obtain information concerning the reaction mechanism of the pyrolysis of sulfonium ylides bearing a substituted phenyl group on the 2-position in the S-ethyl group of ethylphenylsulfonium ylide, (2-phenylethyl)phenylsulfonium bis(methoxycarbonyl)methylide (1) and dicyanomethylide (2) were subjected to pyrolysis in benzene. The reaction rates of 1 and 2 at 140 °C were 6.0- and 3.2-times faster than those of ethylphenylsulfonium bis(methoxycarbonyl)methylide and dicyanomethylide, respectively. The activation parameters for 1 were ΔH‡ = 125 kJ mol−1 and ΔS‡ = −3.8 J K−1 mol−1, while those for 2 were ΔH‡ = 124 kJ mol−1 and ΔS‡ = −2.5 J K−1 mol−1. Substituent effects on the β-phenyl groups in 1 and 2 afforded positive Hammett ρ-values: ρ = 0.49 (γ = 0.997) and ρ = 0.26 (γ = 0.993), respectively.From the obtained results, it was suggested that the pyrolysis proceeds through essentially a concerted intramolecular cis-elimination inclined toward a slightly carbanion-like type from an E1-like type by introducing a phenyl substituent at the 2-position of the ethyl group in the ethylphenylsulfonium ylide.
为了获取有关乙基苯基亚磺酸乙酯中乙基的2-位上带有取代苯基的磺酸亚磺酸分解反应机理的信息,将(2-苯乙基)苯基亚磺酸双(甲氧基羰基)甲亚基(1)和双氰基甲亚基(2)在苯中进行分解。在140°C时,1和2的反应速率分别比乙基苯基亚磺酸双(甲氧基羰基)甲亚基和双氰基甲亚基快6.0倍和3.2倍。1的活化参数为ΔH‡ = 125 kJ mol−1,ΔS‡ = -3.8 J K−1 mol−1,而2的活化参数为ΔH‡ = 124 kJ mol−1,ΔS‡ = -2.5 J K−1 mol−1。1和2中β-苯基的取代效应提供了正的Hammett ρ值:ρ = 0.49(γ = 0.997)和ρ = 0.26(γ = 0.993)。从得到的结果可以看出,通过在乙基苯基亚磺酸乙的乙基的2-位引入苯基取代基,基本上是通过倾向于稍微类似于碳负离子的顺式消除过程,从而类似于E1型反应。
