Relative Reactivity in Piperidino-Dechlorination of 2,4-Diamino-6-chloropyrimidine and 2,4-Diamino-6-chloropyrimidine N(3)-Oxide and Their Acetylamino Analogs
摘要:
The second-order rate constants k(A) for the piperidino-dechlorination of 2,4-diamino-6-chloropyrimidine (1a), 2,4-bis(acetylamino)-6-chloropyrimidine (1b), 2,4-diamino-6-chloropyrimidine N(3)-oxide (2a), and 2,4-bis(acetylamino)-6-chloropyrimidine N(3)-oxide (2b) have been determined from the corresponding pseudo-first-order rate constants, k psi, measured in DMSO at 21.0 degrees C by the UV spectrophotometric procedure. The second-order rate coefficients of the less reactive substrates 1a and 2a at 21 degrees C have been obtained as extrapolated values from Arrhenius plots of k(A) values, calculated through the pseudo-first-order-type relationship, k psi = k(A)[P] (where [P] is the amine concentration), from the k psi measured at higher temperatures (k(A)(1a) = 1.36 x 10(-5) and k(A)(2a) = 3.44 x 10(-5) L mol(-1) min(-1)). The reactivities of the acetyl derivatives 1b and 2b are remarkably higher than that of the parent compounds 1a and 2a. The pseudo-first-order rate constants of the more reactive substrates Ib and 2b, measured as a function of piperidine concentration, increase linearly for 1b, with a decreasing curvilinear slope only in the higher concentration region of base; in contrast, the reactivity of 2b remains almost constant and lower than that of ib for most of the employed base concentrations. This behavior is due to the acidic character of compound 2b, which is almost totally transformed by excess piperidine into an anionic form, much less reactive than the protonated one toward the nucleophilic attack, even at relatively low base concentrations. Compound Ib is much less acidic than 2b and shows deviations from the second-order-type linear behavior only for the higher base concentrations. The equilibrium constant for the acid-base reaction of 2b with piperidine has been obtained spectrophotometrically (K = 0.007 +/- 0.001), and the second-order rate coefficient k(A) has been calculated from the constant apparent reactivity h psi by means of the formula k(A) = k psi[PH+]/K (where [PH+] is the piperidinium ion concentration) (k(A)(2b) = 2.7 L mol(-1) min(-1)). That of 1b is given by the slope of the experimental curve k psi vs [P] in the proximity of the origin (k(A)(lb) = 0.15 L mol(-1) min(-1)). The results indicate that both the acetylation of the exocyclic -NH2 groups and the oxidation of the cyclic N(3)-atom increase the reactivity of the parent compounds toward piperidinolysis, but that the first modification is much more effective than the second one: The dependence of k psi of 1b and 2b on the amine concentration does not give any evidence for base catalysis, as expected in the model of the intermediate complex mechanism when the leaving group is fast to separate (as the -Cl group is) and/or the complex formation is rate-limiting.
