Hydrolysis of Aryl Orthocarbonates by General Acid Catalyzed and Spontaneous Processes. Characterization of the Water Reaction of (ArO)3COAr' and (ArO)3CN3
摘要:
Twenty-four aryl orthocarbonates of formula (Aro)(4)C, (ArO)(2)C(OAr')(2), or (ArO)(3)COAr' have been made by coupling of the copper phenoxides with carbon disulfide, and their hydrolyses have been examined in 60% water-40% acetonitrile (I = 1.00 M, KCl) at 70.0 degrees C. Their hydrolysis by general acid catalyzed and, in the case of (ArO)(3)COAr' when Ar'= p-nitrophenyl and p-cyanophenyl, spontaneous processes yields aryl carbonates. The initial, rate-determining event for both processes is the cleavage of the bond between the central carbon and the least basic phenoxy group: with mixed orthocarbonates of phenols differing in pK by <1 unit, parallel pathways are observed. The spontaneous reactions of (X-C6H4O)(3)C-O-p-C6H4NO2 and (X-C6H4O)(3)C-O-p-C6H4CN where the sigma value of X varies from -0.23 to 0.22 are 4-10 times slower than reactions of p-nitrophenyl tetrahydropyrans reported in the literature and give rise to nonlinear Hammett plots. However, plots against the pK(a) of X-C6H4OH are linear, and the derived beta(reaction center) values indicate substantial buildup of positive charge on the central carbon atom. A similar plot is obtained for the spontaneous reactions of five azides (XC(6)H(4)O)(3)CN3 for which common ion inhibition experiments have been performed. The derived selectivities (M(-1)) of the tris(aryloxy)carbenium ion intermediates between azide ion and water vary from 8.5 X 10(3) to 6.6 X 10(3) as the sigma value of X changes from -0.28 to 0.06. The lifetime of the tris(aryloxy)carbenium ion intermediates in water is therefore likely to be > 10(-6) s. The slow formation and slow hydrolysis of tris(aryloxy)carbenium ions suggests that (in the formation direction) development of conjugative stabilization lags behind carbon-oxygen bond cleavage and (in the hydrolysis direction) precedes carbon-oxygen bond formation. The stereochemistry of tetraaryl orthocarbonates immediately suggests reasons why this should be so.
The pKa values of nineteen phenyl hydrazinecarboxylate hydrochlorides R-C6H4OCONHNH2·HCl (R = H, 3- and 4-Cl, 3- and 4-O2N, 4-Me) and their 1-methyl or 2-methyl derivatives were determined by potentiometric titration with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in DMSO. IR spectra of the hydrazinecarboxylates and their hydrochlorides revealed that the hydrazinecarboxylate protonation occurs at N2. The methods of synthesis of phenyl hydrazinecarboxylate and their N-methyl derivatives were optimized.
