A kinetic study is reported on SNAr reaction of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with a series of primary amines including hydrazine in $H_2O$ at $25.0^{\circ}C$. The plots of $k_{obsd}$ vs. [amine] are linear and pass through the origin, indicating that general-base catalysis by a second amine molecule is absent. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.46 when hydrazine is excluded from the correlation. The reaction has been suggested to proceed through a stepwise mechanism, in which expulsion of the leaving group occurs after the rate-determining step (RDS). Hydrazine is ca. 10 times more reactive than similarly basic glycylglycine (i.e., the ${\alpha}$-effect). A five-membered cyclic intermediate has been suggested for the reaction with hydrazine, in which intramolecular H-bonding interactions would facilitate expulsion of the leaving group. However, the enhanced leaving-group ability is not responsible for the ${\alpha}$-effect shown by hydrazine because expulsion of the leaving group occurs after RDS. Destabilization of the ground-state of hydrazine through the electronic repulsion between the nonbonding electron pairs is responsible for the ${\alpha}$-effect found in the current $S_NAr$ reaction.

Second-order rate constants ($k_{HOO}$‒) have been measured spectrophotometrically for nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-substituted phenyl benzenesulfonates (1a-g) with $HOO^-$ ion in $H_2O$ at $25.0\;{\pm}\;0.1\;{^{\circ}C}$. The Br$\phi$nsted-type plot is linear with ${\beta}_{lg}$ = ‒0.73. The Hammett plot correlated with with ${\sigma}^-$ constants results in much better linearity than ${\sigma}^o$ constants, indicating that expulsion of the leaving group occurs in the rate-determining step (RDS) either in a stepwise mechanism or in a concerted pathway. However, a stepwise mechanism in which departure of the leaving group occurs in the RDS has been excluded since $HOO^-$ ion is more basic and a poorer leaving group than the leaving Y-substituted phenoxide ions. Thus, the reactions of 1a-g with $HOO^-$ ion have been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism. The $\alpha$-nucleophile $HOO^-$ ion is more reactive than its reference nucleophile $OH^-$ ion although the former is ca. 4 p$K_a$ units less basic than the latter (i.e., the $\alpha$-effect). TS stabilization through intramolecular H-bonding interaction has been suggested to be irresponsible for the $\alpha$-effect shown by $HOO^-$ ion, since the magnitude of the $\alpha$-effect is independent of the electronic nature of substituent Y in the leaving group. GS destabilization through desolvation of $HOO^-$ ion has been concluded to be responsible for the $\alpha$-effect found in the this study.

In the aminolysis of phenacyl bromides ($YC_6H_4COCH_2Br$) with benzylamines ($XC_6H_4CH_2NH_2$) in acetonitrile, the Bronsted βx (βnuc) values observed are rather low ( βX = 0.69-0.73). These values are similar to those (βx $^~_=$ 0.7) for other aminolysis reactions of phenacyl compounds with anilines and pyridines, but are much smaller than those ( βx = 1.1-2.5) for the aminolysis of esters with benzylamines which are believed to proceed stepwise with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group. The relative constancy of the βx values (βx $^~_=$ 0.7) irrespective of the amine, leaving group and solvent can be accounted for by a bridged type transition state in the rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group. Thus the aminolysis of phenacyl derivatives are proposed to proceed stepwise through a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate ($T^{\pm}$), with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group from $T^{\pm}$. In the transition state, the amine is bridged between the carbonyl and α-carbons, which leads to negligible effect of amine on the leaving group expulsion rate.

A kinetic study is reported for the SNAr reaction of 1-Y-substituted-phenoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzenes (1a-1h) with OH- in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The second-order rate constant ($k_{OH^-}$) increases as the substituent Y in the leaving group changes from an electron-donating group (EDG) to an electronwithdrawing group (EWG). The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of 1a-1h is linear with ${\beta}_{lg}$ = -0.16, indicating that the reactivity of substrates 1a-1h is little affected by the leaving-group basicity. A linear Br${\o}$nsted-type plot with ${\beta}_{lg}=-0.3{\pm}0.1$ is typical for reactions reported previously to proceed through a stepwise mechanism in which formation of a Meisenheimer complex is the rate-determining step (RDS). The Hammett plot correlated with ${\sigma}_Y{^{\circ}}$ constants results in a much better correlation than that correlated with ${\sigma}_Y{^-}$constants, implyng that no negative charge is developing on the O atom of the leaving group (or expulsion of the leaving group is not advanced at all in the TS). This excludes a possibility that the $S_NAr$ reaction of 1a-1h with $OH^-$ proceeds through a concerted mechanism or via a stepwise pathway with expulsion of the leaving group being the RDS. Thus, the current reactions have been concluded to proceed through a stepwise mechanism in which expulsion of the leaving group occurs rapidly after the RDS.

Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of phenyl 2- pyridyl carbonate (6) with a series of cyclic secondary amines in MeCN at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reaction of 6 is linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.54, which is typical for reactions reported previously to proceed through a concerted mechanism. Substrate 6 is over $10^3$ times more reactive than 2-pyridyl benzoate (5), although the reactions of 6 and 5 proceed through the same mechanism. A combination of steric hindrance, inductive effect and resonance contribution is responsible for the kinetic results. The reactions of 6 and 5 proceed through a cyclic transition state (TS) in which H-bonding interactions increase the nucleofugality of the leaving group (i.e., 2-pyridiniumoxide). The enhanced nucleofugality forces the reactions of 6 and 5 to proceed through a concerted mechanism. In contrast, the corresponding reaction of 4-nitrophenyl 2-pyridyl carbonate (7) proceeds through a stepwise mechanism with quantitative liberation of 4-nitrophenoxide ion as the leaving group, indicating that replacement of the 4-nitrophenoxy group in 7 by the PhO group in 6 changes the reaction mechanism (i.e., from a stepwise mechanism to a concerted pathway) as well as the leaving group (i.e., from 4-nitrophenoxide to 2-pyridiniumoxide). The strong electron-withdrawing ability of the 4-nitrophenoxy group in 7 inhibits formation of a H-bonded cyclic TS. The presence or absence of a H-bonded cyclic TS governs the reaction mechanism (i.e., a concerted or stepwise mechanism) as well as the leaving group (i.e., 2-pyridiniumoxide or 4-nitrophenoxide).

The aminolysis reactions of thiophenyl phenylacetates with benzylamines are investigated in acetonitrile at 55.0℃. Relatively large selectivity parameters, βx≒ 1.5, βz = -1.5~-1.8 and βxz = 0.92 together with the valid reactivity-selectivity principle are consistent with stepwise acyl transfer mechanism with rate limiting expulsion of the leaving group, thiophenolate anion, from the tetrahedral intermediate, T ± . The first order kinetics with respect to the benzylamine concentration and the realtively large secondary kinetic isotope effect (kH / kD = 1.2-1.7) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a four center type transition state in which concurrent leaving group departure and proton transfer are involved.

Aminolysis of aryl thiol-2-furoates and thiol-2-thiophenates with benzylainines are investigated in acetonitrile at 50.0 ℃. Relatively large selectivity parameters, ρx(βx), ρz(βx) and ρxz (> 0) together with the valid reactivity-selectivity principle are consistent with a stepwise acyl transfer mechanism with rate-limiting expulsion of the leaving group, thiophenolate anion, from the tetrahedral intermediate, T±. The first-order kinetics with respect to the benzylamine concentration and the relatively large secondary kinetic isotope effect involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a four-center type transition state in which concurrent leaving group departure and proton transfer are involved.

MeOH-1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane 혼합용매에서 할로겐화삼차부틸(t-BuCl, t-BuBr, t-BuI)의 가메탄올 분해반응을 속도론적으로 연구하였으며, 이온화에 미치는 용매효과를 고찰하기 위하여 6가지 indicater를 이용한 분광용매화비교법을 적용하였다. 이결과 할로겐화삼차부틸의 가메탄올 분해반응에 미치는 용매화의 작용은 용매의 극상-편극성에 기인되는 상호작용이 주된 것이긴 하지만 halide leaving group의 living ability에 미치는 electrophilic assistance와 t-Butyl 양이온쪽에 대한 nucleophilic assistance도 상당히 작용함을 알 수 있다. 특히 hydrogen bonding에 의한 electrophilic assistance는 basicity가 큰 leaving group일수록 커지며 ($I^-), 탄소 중심일수록 커짐을 밝힐 수 있었다.

A kinetic study on nucleophilic substitution reactions of phenyl Y-substituted-phenyl carbonates (5a-5j) with ethylamine in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ is reported. The plots of $k_{obsd}$ vs. [amine] are linear for the reactions of substrates possessing a strong electron-withdrawing group (EWG) but curve upward for those of substrates bearing a weak EWG, indicating that the electronic nature of the substituent Y in the leaving group governs the reaction mechanism. The reactions have been concluded to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with one or two intermediates (a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate $T^{\pm}$ and its deprotonated form $T^-$) depending on the nature of the substituent Y. Analysis of Bronsted-type plots and dissection of $k_{obsd}$ into microscopic rate constants have revealed that the reactions of substrates possessing a strong EWG (e.g., 5a-5f) proceed through $T^{\pm}$ with its formation being the rate-determining step, while those of substrates bearing a weak EWG (e.g., 5g-5j) proceed through $T^{\pm}$ and $T^-$.
