Abstract

Theoretical studies of the effect of the nonleaving group (RY) on the breakdown mechanism of the tetrahedral anionic intermediate, T-, formed by the addition of a less basic phenoxide nucleophile (X) to phenyl benzoates with a more basic phenoxide leaving group (Z) have been carried out using the PM3 MO method. The identity acyl transfer reactions (X=Z) are facilitated by an electron-withdrawing RY whereas they are inhibited by an electron-donating RY group. The results of non-identity acyl transfer reactions indicate that a more electron-donating RY group leads to a greater lowering of the higher barrier, TS2, with a greater degree of bond cleavage, and a greater negative charge development on the phenoxide oxygen atom, whereas the opposite is true for a more electron-withdrawing RY group, i.e., leads to a greater lowering of the lower barrier, TS1. The results provide theoretical basis for the signs of ρXY(>0) and ρYZ(<0) observations.
