The relative nucleophilic reaction constants n(pt), for a series of N-(n-propyl)-N'-(para-R-benzoyl)thioureas (R = H, CH3O2 (CH3)(3)C, Br, Cl, C7H15O, I, NO2) have been determined for the substrate trans-[PtCl2(pyridine)(2)] in methanol-water (75:25 v/v at 30 degreesC and mu = 0.03). and are compared with that of unsubstituted thiourea. The bimolecular substitution reaction constants k(2) were found to vary from 12.1 +/- 1.3 to 6.0 +/- 0.4 (for thiourea). corresponding to relative nucleophilicity constants of 4.08-3.78. A small but detectable influence of the substituent has been found on these constants, the n(pt) values decreasing in the order H similar to CH3O > Cl > C7H15O similar to t-but similar to I > Br > NO2 > thiourea, Essentially however, the nucleophilicity of the series of N-(n-propyl)-N'-(para-R-benzoyl)-thioureas resembles that of thiourea.
