Nitrile-forming eliminations from $(E)-2,4,6-(NO_2)_3C_6H_2CH=NOC_6H_4-2-X-4-NO_2$ (1) promoted by $R_3NH/R_3NH^+$ in 70 mol % MeCN(aq) have been studied kinetically. When X = $NO_2$, the reactions exhibited second-order kinetics as well as Br$\"{o}$nsted ${\beta}$ = 0.63 and ${\mid}{\beta}_{lg}{\mid}$ = 0.34-0.46, and an E2 mechanism is evident. As the leaving group was made poorer (X = H, Cl, and $CF_3$), Br$\"{o}$nsted ${\beta}$ value increased from 0.63 to 0.85-0.89 without much change in the ${\mid}{\beta}_{lg}{\mid}$ value E2, indicating that structure of the transition state changed to an E1cb-like with extensive $C_{\beta}-H$ bond cleavage, significant negative charge development at the ${\beta}$-carbon, and limited $C_{\alpha}$-OAr bond cleavage.

Second-order rate constants have been measured for two series of nucleophilic displacement reactions, i.e., reactions of 4-nitrophenyl benzoate with Z-substituted phenoxides and those of Y-substituted phenyl benzoates (1a-h) with 4-chlorophenoxide (4-ClPhO–) in 80 mol% $H_2O$/20 mol% DMSO at 25.0 ${\pm}\;0.1\;{^{\circ}C}$. The Br$\phi$nsted-type plot for reactions of 4-nitrophenyl benzoate with Z-substituted phenoxides exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.72. Reactions of 1a-h with 4-chlorophenoxide result in also a linear Br$\phi$nsted-type plot with ${\beta}_{lg}$ = –0.62, a typical ${\beta}_{lg}$ value for a concerted mechanism. The Hammett plots correlated with ${\sigma}^o\;and\;{\sigma}^-$ constants show many scattered points for reactions of 1a-h with 4-chlorophenoxide. In contrast, the corresponding Yukawa-Tsuno plot exhibits an excellent linear correlation with $\rho_Y$ = 2.26 and r = 0.53, indicating that expulsion of the leaving group occurs at the rate-determining step (RDS) either in a concerted mechanism or in a stepwise pathway. However, a stepwise mechanism with leaving group departure being the RDS is excluded since the leaving Y-substituted phenoxide is less basic and a better nucleofuge than the incoming 4-ClPh$O^-$. Thus, the reactions have been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism, in which bond formation between the nucleophile and electrophilic center is more advanced than expulsion of the leaving group in the transition state on the basis of the magnitude of ${\beta}_{nuc}\;and\;{\beta}_{lg}$ values.

A kinetic study is reported for nucleophilic substitution reactions of 4-pyridyl X-substituted benzoates 7a-e with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in H2O. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of 4-pyridyl benzoate 7c is linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.71. The corresponding reactions of 2-pyridyl benzoate 6, which is less reactive than 7c, resulted in also a linear Br${\o}$nsted-type plot with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.77. The fact that the more reactive 7c results in a smaller ${\beta}_{nuc}$ value appears to be in accord with the reactivity-selectivity principle. The aminolysis of 7c has been suggested to proceed through a stepwise mechanism in which breakdown of the intermediate is the rate-determining step (RDS). The Hammett plot for the reactions of 7a-e with piperidine consists of two intersecting straight lines, i.e., ${\rho}_X$ = 1.47 for substrates possessing an electron-donating group (EDG) and ${\rho}_X$ = 0.91 for those possessing an electron-withdrawing group (EWG). In contrast, the corresponding Yukawa-Tsuno plot exhibits excellent linear correlation with ${\rho}_X$ = 0.79 and r = 0.56. Thus, it has been concluded that the nonlinear Hammett plot is not due to a change in the RDS but is caused by stabilization of the ground state of the substrates possessing an EDG through resonance interaction between the EDG and the C=O bond of the substrates.

Second-order rate constants ($k_{CN^-}$) have been measured for nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-substituted phenyl benzoates (1a-r) with $CN^-$ ion in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot is linear with ${\beta}_{1g}$ = -0.49, a typical ${\beta}_{1g}$ value for reactions reported to proceed through a concerted mechanism. Hammett plots correlated with ${\sigma}^{\circ}$ and ${\sigma}^-$ constants exhibit many scattered points. In contrast, the Yukawa-Tsuno plot for the same reaction exhibits excellent linearity with ${\rho}_Y$ = 1.37 and r = 0.34, indicating that a negative charge develops partially on the oxygen atom of the leaving aryloxide in the rate-determining step (RDS). Although two different mechanisms are plausible (i.e., a concerted mechanism and a stepwise pathway in which expulsion of the leaving group occurs at the RDS), the reaction has been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism on the basis of the magnitude of ${\beta}_{1g}$ and ${\rho}_Y$ values.

The second-order rate constants ($k_{OH^-}$) for the reactions of Y-substituted-phenyl diphenylphosphinates (4a-4i) with $OH^-$ in $H_2O$ at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ have been measured spectrophotometrically. Comparison of $k_{OH^-}$ with $k_{EtO^-}$ (the second-order rate constants for the corresponding reactions with $EtO^-$ in ethanol) has revealed that $EtO^-$ is less reactive than $OH^-$ although the former is ca. 3.4 $pK_a$ units more basic than the latter, indicating that the reactivity of these nucleophiles is not governed by their basicity alone. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of 4a-4i with $OH^-$ is linear with ${\beta}_{lg}$ = -0.36. The Hammett plot correlated with ${\sigma}^-$ constants results in a slightly better correlation than that correlated with ${\sigma}^{\circ}$ constants but exhibits many scattered points. In contrast, the Yukawa-Tsuno plot for the same reactions exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ${\rho}$ = 0.95 and r = 0.55. The r value of 0.55 implies that a negative charge develops partially on the O atom of the leaving group. Thus, the reactions of 4a-4i with $OH^-$ have been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism.

Reactions of 4-nitrophenyl 2-thiophenecarboxylate (1a-e) with $R_2NH/R_2NH{_2}^+$ in 20 mol % DMSO (aq) have been studied kinetically. The $2^{nd}$ order kinetics, ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.88-0.98, and linear Hammett and Yukawa-Tsuno plots observed for these reactions indicate an addition-elimination mechanism in which the $2^{nd}$ step is rate limiting. The ${\beta}_{nuc}$ value increased with a stronger electron-withdrawing 5-thienyl substituent, the Hammett plots are linear except for X = MeO, and Yukawa-Tsuno plots are linear with ${\rho}$ = 0.79-1.32 and r = 0.28-0.93, respectively. The ${\rho}$ value increased and r value decreased with a stronger nucleophile, indicating an increase in the electron density at the C=O bond and a decrease in the resonance demand. These results have been interpreted with enhanced N-C bond formation in the transition state with the reactivity increase.

The amines studied in this study are less reactive toward ethyl propiolate (3) in MeCN than in H$_2$O although they are 7 to 9 pK$_a$ units more basic in the aprotic solvent. The reactivity of morpholine and deuterated morpholine toward 3 is found to be identical, indicating that proton transfer occurs after rate-determining step (RDS). The fact that kinetic isotope effect is absent excludes a stepwise mechanism in which proton transfer occurs in RDS as well as a concerted mechanism in which nucleophilic attack and proton transfer occur concertedly through a 4-membered cyclic transition state (TS). Thus, the reactions have been concluded to proceed through a stepwise mechanism in which proton transfer occurs after RDS. Brønsted-type plots are linear with small ${\beta}_{nuc}$ values, i.e., ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.29 in H$_2$O and ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.51 in MeCN, indicating that bond formation is not advanced significantly in RDS. The small ${\beta}_{nuc}$ value also supports the conclusion drawn from the study of kinetic isotope effect.

포스포리파제 D(PLD)는 알코올 존재 하에서 포스파티딜 전달반응이 일어나며 동시에 PLD의 전체 반응속도도 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 포스파티딜 전달반응을 자세히 구명하기위해 본 실험에서는 양배추에서 정제한 ${\alpha}$-type PLD를 가지고 여러 종류의 알코올 존재 하에서 포스파티딜 전달반응의 반응속도를 검토하였다. 실험 결과 검토한 1차 알코올들에 의해 PLD의 포스파티딜 전달반응 속도는 기대했던 대로 크게 증가하였다. 부탄올의 경우 2차 반응속도는 $33.33{\pm}1.33M^{-1}sec^{-1}$로 얻어졌으며, 이 전달반응 속도를 물의 농도를 고려한 가수분해 속도($0.078M^{-1}sec^{-1}$)와 비교하면 무려 400배 이상의 격차를 보여주었다. 알코올의 $pK_a$과 포스파티딜 전달반응 속도와의 자유에너지 선형 관계로부터 브뢴스테드 ${\beta}_{nu}$ 값 $0.12{\pm}0.03$을 얻었다. 비교적 적은 ${\beta}_{nu}$ 값으로 미루어보아 끊어지는 포스파티딜-효소 중간체(E-P)의 전이상태는 상당히 해리된 상태일 것으로 추정된다. 이들 결과와 양배추 PLD의 활성부위의 히스티딘 잔기를 참작하여 양배추 PLD의 반응메커니즘을 제안하였다.

Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for Michael-type reactions of 1-(X-substituted phenyl)-2-propyn-1-ones (2a-f) with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in MeCN at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The $k_N$ value increases as the incoming amine becomes more basic and the substituent X changes form an electron-donating group (EDG) to an electron-withdrawing group (EWG). The Br${\o}$nsted-type plots are linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.48 - 0.51. The Hammett plots for the reactions of 2a-f exhibit poor correlations but the corresponding Yukawa-Tsuno plots result in much better linear correlations with ${\rho}$ = 1.57 and r = 0.46 for the reactions with piperidine while ${\rho}$ = 1.72 and r = 0.39 for those with morpholine. The amines employed in this study are less reactive in MeCN than in water for reactions with substrates possessing an EDG, although they are ca. 8 pKa units more basic in the aprotic solvent. This indicates that the transition state (TS) is significantly more destabilized than the ground state (GS) in the aprotic solvent. It has been concluded that the reactions proceed through a stepwise mechanism with a partially charged TS, since such TS would be destabilized in the aprotic solvent due to the electronic repulsion between the negative-dipole end of MeCN and the negative charge of the TS. The fact that primary deuterium kinetic effect is absent supports a stepwise mechanism in which proton transfer occurs after the rate-determining step.

치환 브롬화페나실과 치환 피리딘과의 반응속도를 메탄올과 DMF 용매중, 25∼$45^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 전기전도도법으로 측정하였다. 그 결과 두 용매 다 같이 치환 피리딘에서는 전자를 주는 기가 치환되었을 경우 반응속도 상수는 컸으며, 반대로 전자를 끄는 치환기일 경우는 반응속도 상수가 작았다. 기질에서의 치환기 효과는 핵에 전자를 끄는기가 치환되었을 경우 반응속도는 증가하였다. 이 사실들은 탄소원자에 아민이 친핵적으로 공격한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 브롬화페나실과 피리딘의 반응에서 보여준 등속온도는 메탄올과 DMF에서 각각 614와 $202^{\circ}K$였고 $Br{\phi}nsted {\beta}$값은 0.29와 0.36이었다. 치환 브롬화페나실과 피리딘과의 반응의 경우는 등속온도는 전자를 끄는 치환기일 수록 감소하였으며, ${\beta}$값은 그 반대였다. 위의 결과로부터 p-Cl에서 p-MeO 브롬화페니실로 감에 따라 N…C 결합형성이 점차적으로 줄어들고 있으며 결합 형성은 DMF가 메탄올보다 우세하게 진전함을 추측할 수 있다. 치환 피리딘의 경우 Hammett식의 ${\rho}$값은 양 용매에서 모두 부(-)의 값을 가졌다. 핵 치환 브롬화페나실에서의 ${\rho}$값은 0.3의 적은 값이었으며 이는 메틸렌탄소에 피리딘의 질소 원자가 직접적으로 $S_N2$공격을 한다고 생각된다.
