The aminolyses, anilinolysis and pyridinolysis, of bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl) phosphinic chloride (1) have been kinetically investigated in acetonitrile at 55.0 and $35.0^{\circ}C$, respectively. For the reactions of 1 with substituted anilines and deuterated anilines, a concerted SN2 mechanism is proposed based on the selectivity parameters and activation parameters. The deuterium kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$) invariably increase from secondary inverse to primary normal as the aniline becomes more basic, rationalized by the transition state variation from a backside to a frontside attack. For the pyridinolysis of 1, the authors propose a stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting step change from bond breaking for more basic pyridines to bond formation for less basic pyridines based on the selectivity parameters and activation parameters. Biphasic concave upward free energy relationship with X is ascribed to a change in the attacking direction of the nucleophile from a frontside attack with more basic pyridines to a backside attack with less basic pyridines.

The kinetic studies on the reactions of ethyl methyl (2) and ethyl propyl (4) chlorothiophosphates with X-pyridines have been carried out in acetonitrile at $35.0^{\circ}C$. The free energy correlations with X show biphasic concave upwards with a break point at X = H (2) and 3-Ph (4), respectively. A stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting leaving group expulsion from the intermediate is proposed based on the magnitudes of selectivity parameters for both substrates. The considerably large values of ${\beta}_X$ = 1.50(2) and 1.44(4) with strongly basic pyridines and relatively small values of ${\beta}_X$ = 0.43(2) and 0.36(4) with weakly basic pyridines are interpreted as a change of the attacking direction of the X-pyridines from a frontside to a backside attack toward the chloride leaving group.

Ab initio calculation is performed to estimate the substituent effects for Para-substituted pyridines. Electrostatic potentials are obtained from ab initio molecular orbital wavefunctions of optimized structures for substituted pyridines. Electrostatic potentials are computed to be minimum at nitrogen atom of pyridines. The potential minima are good correlated with the substituent constants, ${\sigma}_p$ and with the ${\Delta}pKa$. It is shown that the electrostatic potential minima can be used as a measure of substituent effects.

Pseudo-first-order rate constants ($k_{obs}$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of 4-nitrophenyl benzoate with a series of pyridines in $H_2O$ containing 20 mol % DMSO. The plots of kobs vs pyridine concentration are linear up to ca. 0.1 M pyridines, indicating that the effect of self-association of pyridines with their conjugate acids are insignificant in this concentration range. The Bronsted-type plot has been obtained to be linear with a ${\beta}_{nuc}$ value 1.11, suggesting that the pyridinolyses proceed through a rate-determining breakdown of the zwiterionic addition intermediate. The pyridines studied have shown higher reactivity than isobasic primary and secondary amines toward the substrate. 1-Benzoyl-4-dimethylaminopyridinium ion, a possible intermediate, has not been detected since the rate of its hydrolysis in the reaction condition is comparable with or even faster than its formation.

The kinetic studies on the reactions of O-methyl N,N-diisopropylamino phosphonochloridothioate with X-anilines and X-pyridines have been carried out in acetonitrile. The free energy relationship with X in the anilines exhibits biphasic concave upwards with a break region between X = (H and 4-F), giving unusual negative ${\beta}_X$ and positive ${\rho}_X$ values with weakly basic anilines. The unusual phenomenon is rationalized by isokinetic relationship. A stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting leaving group departure from the intermediate is proposed based on the selectivity parameter and variation trend of the deuterium kinetic isotope effects with X. The free energy relationship with X in the pyridines exhibits biphasic concave upwards with a break point at X = 3-MeO. A concerted mechanism is proposed based on relatively small ${\beta}_X$ value, and frontside and backside nucleophilic attack are proposed with strongly and weakly basic pyridines, respectively.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of ethylene phosphorochloridate (2) with X-pyridines are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at $-20.0^{\circ}C$. The free energy correlations for substituent X variations in the nucleophiles exhibit biphasic concave upwards with a break point at X = 3-Ph. Unusual positive ${\rho}_X$ (= +2.49) and negative ${\beta}_X$ (= -0.41) values are obtained with the weakly basic pyridines, and rationalized by the isokinetic relationship with isokinetic temperature at $t_{ISOKINETIC}=6.6^{\circ}C$. The pyridinolysis rate of 2 with a cyclic five-membered ring is forty thousand times faster than its acyclic counterpart (3: diethyl chlorophosphate) because of great positive value of the entropy of activation of 2 (${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ = +49.2 eu) compared to negative value of 3 (${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ = -44.1 eu) over considerably unfavorable enthalpy of activation of 2 (${\Delta}H^{\neq}=28.4\;kcal\;mol^{-1}$) compared to 3 (${\Delta}H^{\neq}=6.3\;kcal\;mol^{-1}$). Great enthalpy and positive entropy of activation are ascribed to sterically congested transition state (TS) and solvent structure breaking in the TS. A concerted mechanism involving a change of nucleophilic attacking direction from a frontside attack with the strongly basic pyridines to a backside attack with the weakly basic pyridines is proposed.
