Aminolysis of aryl dithio-2-thiophenates and dithio-2-furoates in acetonitrile
摘要:
The aminolyses of the title substrates with anilines and benzylamines are investigated in acetonitrile. A clean second-order kinetics is obtained with a first-order rate law in the amine concentration, which is uncomplicated by the fast proton transfer step. The large magnitude of rho(z) (rho(1g)) as well as rho(x) (rho(nuc)) together with relatively large positive p(xz) values is consistent with a stepwise mechanism in which thiophenolate ion expulsion from the intermediate is rate limiting. For the reactions of aryl dithio-2-thiophenates with benzylamines the magnitude of rho(x) and rho(z) values is relatively smaller suggesting that both the addition and expulsion of thiophenolate are partially rate determining. Relatively large secondary kinetic isotope effects, k(H)/k(D) greater than or equal to 1.7, with deuterated nucleophiles, support involvement a concurrent proton transfer to the departing thiophenolate ion in the transition state.

A rapid, metal-free and solvent-free (very low loading of solvent in few cases) reaction conditions for synthesizing thioamides and amides using a Bronsted super acid such as triflic acid has been developed.
