Substituent effect of the leaving groups of the reaction of benzyl arenesulfonate with dimethylanilines in acetone at $35^{\circ}C$ was obtained with the following results. 1. Substituent effect of the leaving groups was not variable when changed from pyridine to N,N-dimethylaniline in nucleophile 2.In acetone, the Hammett ${\sigma}$ constant of p-MeO of the leaving group was -0.35. 3. The weaker the nucleophilicity in dimethylaniline, the stronger the movement of electron from N to C, and the cleavage of the C${\ldots}$0 bond in transition state proceeds.

Determination has been made of the kinetics of the reaction of benzyl arenesulfonates with pyridine in acetone. The substituent effects of the leaving groups in benzyl arenesulfonates are correlated by Hammett equations, with the exception of p-MeO and $p-NO_2$ groups, where the electron attracting substituents in the benzyl arenesulfonate increase the rate. The substituent effects of the leaving groups are as expected due to the nucleophilic attack of amine on the benzyl carbon atom. This can be understood in terms of changes in bond formation (C-N) and bond breaking (C-O) in the transition state with charges in electron-attracting ability of the substituents. The predicted substituent effects may indicate a small increase in bond formation and thus a tighter transition state, in benzyl p-bromobenzene sulfonate than in benzyl p-nitrobenzenesulfonate. Predicting made by Thornton concerning the substituent effects on $S_N2$ transition state structures agrees with the changes in bond formation and bond breaking.

Substituent effects of benzyl substrates for the reaction of substituted benzyl(Z) arenesulfonate(X) with dimethylanilines in (Y) acetone at $35^{circ}$ were studied. The interactions between Z and Y disappeared when changed from electron withdrawing group to releasing group in benzyl substrates. The disappearance of interactions between Z and Y infers change of mechanism from $S_N2 to S_N1$ in substituent Z.

Substituent effects of leaving group in benzylarenesulfonates solvolysis have been carried out in 10∼50% water-acetone mixtures by electric conductivity method. Results of solvent effects, substituent effects and variable rate difference of water contents, show that $S_N1$ character almost predominates through the substituents, though p-MeO favors more or less $S_N2$ character in low water contents.

Substituent effects of substrate and leaving group for the reaction of substituted ${\beta}$-phenylethyl arenesulfonates with pyridine were determined conductometrically in acetonitrile at 50∼70$^{\circ}$C. The substituent effect in substrate is not so significant than expected, but still the electron donating substituent shows the slight acceleration to give a small negative ${\rho}$ value and Hammett plots show slight curvature on the acting substituents, even though it is not so remarkable than that of benzyl system. These results represent a little bit the favorable bond breaking at the transition state by the electron donating substituents. The effects of leaving group in the arenesulfonates in which the rate constants are decreased by electron donating substituents, while electron withdrawing groups presented the reverse effects. Hammett ${\rho}$ value is significantly smaller than that of p-nitrobenzyl arenesulfonates and thus, the mechanism should be closer to tight $S_N2$ one. Especially 2,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate was more accelerated than expected at the additivity of substituents. This facts showed that dichlorobenzenesulfonate anion is more stabilized by the great electron withdrawing substituents at transition state.

Kinetics of the reaction of p-methylphenacyl arenesulfonates with pyridine in acetonitrile were investigated by an electric conductivity method at 1∼2000 bars and 35∼55$^{\circ}C$. The rates of these reactions were increased with raising pressures and temperatures. The activation enthalpy(${\Delta}H^{\neq}$), entropy(${\Delta}S^{\neq}$) and activation volume(${\Delta}V^{\neq}$) of the reaction were obtained with the rate constants. Activation volume and entropy were both negative valued, and activation enthalpy was positive. The acteivation parameters (${\Delta}V^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$) were decreased with increasing pressure. From all of the above results, it was found that this reaction proceeds on the S$_N$2 in which C${\cdots}$O bond breaking is more advanced as pressure increases.

Neopentyl arenesulfonates reacted with primary alkylmagnesium halides in the presence of $(PPh_3)_2NiCl_2$ to produce the corresponding alkylarenes. The efficiency of this coupling reaction considerably depends on the nature of catalyst and solvent. Highest yield was obtained by using three equivalents of Grignard reagent to a mixture of $(PPh_3)_2NiCl_2$ and arenesulfonate in refluxing $Et_2O$. This reaction represents a novel method allowing the efficient and creative substitution of sulfur-containing groups in aromatic compounds. It also shows that the alkyloxysulfonyl group might be a suitable alternative to halides and triflate in some circumstances.

Neopentyl arenesulfonates react with secondary alkylmagnesium chlorides in the presence of dppfNiCl2 to produce the corresponding arenes via the reductive cleavage of carbon-sulfur bond. Highest yield is obtained by using three equivalents of Grignard reagent to a mixture of arenesulfonate and dppfNiCl2 in Et2O at room temperature. This reaction represents a novel method allowing the efficient hydrogenolysis of sulfur-containing groups in aromatic compounds.

Various terphenyl and quaterphenyl derivatives were prepared by the Ni-NHC catalyzed cross coupling of the corresponding biphenyl- and terphenyl-sulfonates with arylmagnesium bromides. The reactions proceeded rapidly via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the alkoxysulfonyl moieties by the aryl nucleophiles to afford high yields within just 1.5 h at room temperature in spite of the low reactivity of the sulfur electrophiles.

The rates for the reaction of substituted 2-phenylethyl tosylates with substituted pyridines were measured in acetonitrile and that of 2-PNS with substituted pyridines were investigated in both acetonitrile and methanol. The substitutent effect was accelerated by an electron-donating substituent on both substrate and nucleophile. Results showed that More O'Ferrall and quantum mechanical model of predicting transition state structure suggest the reaction proceeds via an $S_N2$ mechanism, in which bond-breaking is more advanced than bond-formation. Transition state variation predicted with the quantum mechanical model is consistent with the experimental results, whereas the predictions provided by the More O'Ferrall plots is found to be inconsistent in leaving group. In the reaction of 2-PNS, the rate constants in acetonitrile were larger than that in methanol.
