Radical Cation-Nucleophile Combination Reactions. The Effect of Structure of Nitrogen-Centered Nucleophiles on Reaction Rates.
摘要:
The kinetics of the reactions of 9-phenylanthracene (PAH) radical cation with a number of nitrogen-centered nucleophiles related to pyridine have been studied in acetonitrile and dichloromethane containing Bu4NPF6. Relative rate constants with pyridine as the nucleophile in the standard reaction, were compared with those expected from the configuration mixing (CM) model assuming that the reactive center of the radical cation is either cationic (i) or radical (ii). There is no apparent positive correlation between observed reaction barriers and those(i) ArH.+ + N: --> (ArHN+)-Ar-. (ii) ArH.+ + N: --> (+ArHN.)expected by either CM model treatment. Reaction (i) is considered to be 'forbidden' while reaction (ii) is 'allowed' by the CM model treatment. The initial gaps for reactions (ii) are estimated to be of the order of 30-40 kcal mol-l lower than those for reactions (i). It is concluded that the reactions take place by pathway (i), in spite of the greater energy gap, but that the two pathways would be experimentally indistinguishable since (+ArHN.) is expected to be unstable with respect to (ArHN+)-Ar-..

Cation radicals derived from anthracene and 9-substituted anthracenes react with pyridine and substituted pyridines to form pyridinium salts. 9-Nitro- and 9-cyano-substituted cation radicals were observed to be about 10(2) times as reactive as unsubstituted anthracene (AH) cation radicals while the 9-phenylanthracene (PAH) cation radical was found to be from 2 to 7 times less reactive than AH*+. The reactivities of the nitrogen-centered nucleophiles were observed to depend upon both electronic and steric factors. The mechanism of the reactions involves nucleophilic attack by the nitrogen lone pair at the 10-position of the cation radical. The reaction are accompanied by a change in hybridization, sp2 to sp3, at the anthracene 10-position, giving rise to inverse deuterium kinetic isotope effects ranging from 0.7 to 0.8 when the 10-position is substituted with deuterium. An electron-transfer mechanism for the substitution reactions was ruled out on the basis of energetic considerations.
