Kinetics and Mechanism of the Reactions of Amine Boranes with Carbenium Ions
摘要:
AbstractThe kinetics of the reactions of trialkylamine boranes and pyridine boranes with benzhydryl cations have been determined photometrically. Second‐order rate laws are obeyed, first‐order with respect to amine borane concentration and first‐order with respect to carbocation concentration. As for other reactions of carbocations with neutral nucleophiles, the rates of these reactions are only slightly affected by solvent polarity. The structure—reactivity relationships and kinetic isotope effects are in accord with a polar mechanism proceeding through a transition state where the migrating hydride is partly bound to the entering carbon and to the leaving boron atom. The rate constants correlate linearly with the electrophilicity parameters E of the carbenium ions. It is therefore possible to use the linear free enthalpy relationship logk2 = s(E+N) for determining nucleophilicity parameters N for the amine boranes and to compare their hydride‐donating abilities with those of other non‐charged hydride donors (silanes, germanes, stannanes, and dihydropyridines).
eight diazo compounds 1 a-g were investigated photometrically in dichloromethane. The nucleophilicity parameters N and slope parameters s of these diazo compounds were derived from the equation log k (20 degrees C)=s (E+N) and compared with the nucleophilicities of other pi systems (alkenes, arenes, silyl enol ethers, silyl ketene acetals). It is shown that the nucleophilic reactivities of diazo compounds

acetals) and carbanions. It is shown that the nucleophilic reactivities of enamines cover more than ten orders of magnitude, comparable to enol ethers on the low reactivity end and to carbanions on the high reactivity end. Since the products of N-attack are thermodynamically less stable than the reactants, the observed rate constants refer to the formation of the carbon bond;carbon bonds. In some cases

The kinetics of the reactions of benzhydryl cations with heteroarenes (N-methylpyrrole, furan, 2-methylfuran? and 2-methylthiophene) have been determined photometrically in dichloromethane, and the reaction products have been completely characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The reactions follow second-order kinetics with rate-limiting formation of the sigma-adducts. The second-order rate constants correlate linearly with the electrophilicity parameter E of the benzhydryl cations. This allows the determination of the reactivity parameters N and s for the heteroarenes according to the linear free enthalpy relationship log k = s(E + N) (Mayr, H.; Patz, M. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1994, 33, 938-957). The nucleophilicity parameters N thus defined allow a direct comparison of the nucleophilic reactivities of aromatic and nonaromatic :pi-systems. Since N correlates linearly with sigma(arene)(+), it becomes possible to derive N parameters for arenes and heteroarenes with known sigma(+) parameters and to calculate absolute rate constants for their reactions with carbenium ions and diazonium ions. Applications of the reactivity parameters thus determined for the quantitative and qualitative prediction of the rates of electrophilic aromatic substitutions are discussed.
