amide character and resemble α-haloketones in reactivity. They are susceptible to SN2 reactions at nitrogen, a process that is responsible for their mutagenic behaviour. Kinetic studies have been carried out with the nucleophile N-methylaniline that show that, like SN2 reactions at carbon centres, the rate constant for SN2 displacement of carboxylate is lowered by branching β to the nitrogen centre, or
N-酰氧基-N-烷氧基酰胺1a是不寻常的异头异构酰胺,其由于双氧基取代而在氮上呈锥体状。通过这种构型,它们失去了大部分酰胺特性,并且在反应性上类似于α-卤代酮。它们在氮气下易受S N 2反应的影响,这是导致其诱变行为的原因。动力学研究已经进行了与亲核试剂Ñ甲基苯胺,显示的是,最喜欢S ñ在碳中心,速率常数为S 2个的反应Ñ通过将β分支到氮中心或烷氧基侧链上的大体积基团,可降低2羧酸盐的置换。然而,羧酸酯离去基团上的支链或大体积基团不影响取代率,其主要由离去的羧酸酯基团的p K A控制。这些结果与氨与N-乙酰氧基-N-甲氧基乙酰胺的模型反应的计算性质相符,但与空间效应对其致突变性的作用相反。
