Kinetic studies of the reaction of Z-phenyl cyclopropanecarboxylates with X-benzylamines in acetonitrile at 55.0 °C have been carried out. The reaction proceeds by a stepwise mechanism in which the rate-determining step is the breakdown of the zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate, T±, with a hydrogen-bonded four-center type transition state (TS). These mechanistic conclusions are drawn based on (i) the large magnitude of ρX and ρZ, (ii) the normal kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD > 1.0) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles, (iii) the positive sign of ρXZ and the larger magnitude of ρXZ than that for normal SN2 processes, and lastly (iv) adherence to the reactivity–selectivity principle (RSP) in all cases.
对 Z-苯基环丙烷羧酸盐与 X-苄胺在 55.0 °C乙腈中的反应进行了动力学研究。该反应通过一个逐步进行的机理进行,其中决定反应速率的步骤是齐聚四面体中间体 T± 与氢键四中心型过渡态 (TS) 的分解。得出这些机理结论的依据是:(i) ρX 和 ρZ 的数值较大;(ii) 涉及氘化苄胺亲核物的正常动力学同位素效应(kH/kD > 1.0);(iii) ρXZ 的正负号和 ρXZ 的数值大于正常 SN2 过程的数值;最后,(iv) 在所有情况下都遵守反应选择性原理 (RSP)。
