The aminolyses of diphenyl phosphinic chloride (1) with substituted anilines in acetonitrile at 55.0 oC are investigated kinetically. Large Hammett ρ X (ρnuc = ?4.78) and Bronsted β X (βnuc = 1.69) values suggest extensive bond formation in the transition state. The primary normal kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD = 1.42-1.82) involving deuterated aniline (XC6H4ND2) nucleophiles indicate that hydrogen bonding results in partial deprotonation of the aniline nucleophile in the rate-limiting step. The faster rate of diphenyl phosphinic chloride (1) than diphenyl chlorophosphate (2) is rationalized by the large proportion of a frontside attack in the reaction of 1. These results are consistent with a concerted mechanism involving a partial frontside nucleophilic attack through a hydrogen-bonded, four-center type transition state.

Kinetic studies on the reactions of five secondary acylic alkyl arenesulfonates with anilines are carried out in acetonitrile at 65.0 ℃. The magnitude of ρXZ determined (ρXZ=0.12-0.13) is slightly greater than that for the alicyclic series (ρXZ=0.11) under the same experimental condition. Ab initio MO results are found to support the slightly tighter transition state expected from the greater magnitude of ρXZ for the acyclic series. Despite the small variations, the magnitude of ρXZ and the theoretical transition state tightness remain relatively constant for the secondary carbon centers. Secondary kinetic isotope effects involving deuterated aniline nucleophiles show a successively smaller kH/kD(<1.0) value for a more sterically crowded reaction center carbon. This is in accord with the later transition state for bond-making predicted by the Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle for the more endothermic nucleophilic substitution reaction. Further support is provided by the results of the AM1 MO calculations on the reactions of secondary alkyl benzenesulfonates with chloride nucleophile.

Kinetic studies of nucleophilic substitution reactions of para-substituted benzylchlorides with anilines were conducted in a range of MeOH-MeCN mixtures at $55.1^{\circ}C$. Hammett ${\rho}_C$, ${\rho}_N$ values and Bronsted ${\beta}$ values were determined, in other to examine the transition state variations caused by changes in nucleophiles, substituents and solvents properties (${\pi}^{\ast}$ and ${\alpha}$). Applications of potential energy surface (PES) and quantum mechanical (QM) models of transitheion state characterization lead us to conclude that the reaction proceeds via the dissociative $S_N2$ mechanism.

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1- and 2-naphthylethyl arenesulfonates, 2 and 3, with anilines and benzylamines in methanol at 65.0 ℃ are investigated. The rates are slower than those for the corresponding derivatives of 2-phenylethyl arenesulfonates, 1, which can be attributed to a greater degree of positive charge stabilization at Cα in the transition state (TS) by a greater electron supply from a phenyl ring compared to a naphthyl ring. The mechanism for the two naphthylethyl systems are similar to that for the 2-phenylethyl derivatives, except that the transition state is formed at somewhat an earlier position along the reaction coordinate. The secondary kinetic isotope effects involving deuterated nucleophilies indicate that naphthylethyl series are sterically more crowded in the TS than 2-phenylethyl system. The data in this work can not elucidate the possible participation of the aryl-assisted pathway in the reaction.

Kinetic studies are carried out on the reactions of 1- and 2-naphthylmethyl arenesulfonates with anilines in acetonitrile at 25.0 ℃. The rates are faster for the 2-naphthylmethyl series than for the corresponding 1-naphthylmethyl series suggesting that there is a greater stabilization of positive charge development in the TS at the arylmethyl reaction center carbon for the former. The sign and magnitude of ρxz (=-0.12) are similar to those of the benzylic series. Thus, benzyl, 1- and 2-naphthylmethyl derivatives belong to a class of compounds which react with aniline nucleophiles through a relatively loose SN2 TS. Kinetic secondary deuterium isotope effects indicated that a stronger nucleophile and nucleofuge lead to a later TS as the definition of ρxz requires.

1-Anthracenesulfonyl chloride used as a substrate has been prepared from anthra-quinone, and its melting point ($124^{circ}C$) was confirmed to be considerably different from the literature value ($90^{circ}C$). Rates of nucleophilic substitution reactions of this substrate with some p-substituted anilines in dry acetone were determined by electroconductometric method, and their mechanism has been discussed. As a result, it has been found that these reactions proceed in parallel catalyzed by anilines together with noncatalyzed process, and that their catalytic activities are electrophilic. Judging from $Br{\phi}nsted\;{\beta}$ (0.77), Hammett ${\rho}$(-3.2), and activation parameters which were determined from the temperature dependence of noncatalyzed second order rate constants, it appears most appropriate that their mechanism should be discussed in terms of an associative $S_N2$ involving sulfonylammonium intermediate.
