Kinetics and Mechanism of the Aminolysis of Phenyl Dithioacetates in Acetonitrile
摘要:
The aminolysis reactions of phenyl dithioacetates with anilines (AN), N,N-dimethylanilines (DMA), and benzylamines (BA) in acetonitrile are investigated. The mechanism is relatively simple, involving a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate, T+/-, and is uncomplicated by the fast proton transfer step which may become rate limiting in the aminolysis of thiono and dithio esters and carbonates with poor leaving groups in water. The mechanism changes from rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group with beta(X) = 0.80-0.86 and beta(Z) = -0.71 to -0.84 for ANs and DMAs to rate-limiting attack by the nucleophile with much smaller magnitudes of beta(X) and beta(Z) for BAs. The relatively large beta(XZ) values for the former series and a smaller beta(XZ) for the latter series support the proposed mechanistic change.

are carried out in acetonitrile at 60.0 degrees C. A biphasic Brönsted plot is obtained with a change in slope from a large value (beta(X) congruent with 0.9) to a small value (beta(X) congruent with 0.4) at pK(a) degrees = 5.2, which is attributed to a change in the rate-limiting step from breakdown to formation of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate, T(+/-), in the reaction path as the basicity
