    Kinetic study of the reactions of some 5-nitro-2-(4-nitrophenoxy)-3-x-thiophenes with aniline and 4-methoxyaniline in methanol

    No full text
    The rate constants of the title reactions have been measured at various amine concentrations. The second-order kinetic constant for the amino substitution increases in a hyperbolic way as a function of the nucleophile concentration. The k3Am/k-1 ratio for each catalysed system is not a monotonic function of the X substituent. This result has been rationalized in the framework of the SB-GA (Specific Base-General Acid) mechanism of base catalysis

    Analysis of substituent effects in the reactions of some2-L-3-nitro-5-X-thiophenes with aniline in benzene. A new interpretation ofthe`element effect`

    The kinetic constants for the title reactions have been measured in benzene, at 25 °C, at various aniline concentrations. In spite of the low kB/k0 ratios, the reactions are inferred to be genuinely base-catalyzed. The susceptibility constants estimated for the various steps of the reaction mechanism(s) have allowed to make clear the limits of the so-called "element effect" criterion

    Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions of some 3-nitro-2-p-nitro-phenoxy-5-X-thiophenes with substituted anilines in methanol

    A series of optimised 'thiophene' sigma constant values has been calculated by using the reactions of some 3-nitro-2-p-nitrophenoxy-5-X-thiophenes with some substituted anilines. The susceptibility constants obtained are discussed in the framework of the reactivity-selectivity principle

    Analysis of substituent effects: The reactions of some 2-L-5-nitro-3-X-thiophenes with primary and secondary amines in methanol

    The kinetics of the reactions of some 2-L-5-nitro-3-X-thiophenes with primary and secondary amines in methanol at various temperatures have been studied with the aim of obtaining information about the proximity effects of 3-X ortho-like substituents. The results obtained have shown that for all the substituents considered, except for X = Br, the proximity effects of steric nature are of little relevance with respect to the electronic ones. Thus, it has been possible to establish a set of ortho sigma constants which account well for the electronic effects of 3-X substituents and to obtain excellent linear free energy ortho-correlations

    Linear free energy ortho-correlations in the reactions of some 2-bromo-5-nitro-3-x-thiophenes with primary and secondary amines in benzene

    linear free energy ortho-correlationsThe kinetics of SNAr reactions of some 2-bromo-3-X-5-nitrothiophenes (X = Me, H, Br, CONH2, CO2Me, COMe, SO2Me, CN and NO2) with some primary (n-butylamine and benzylamine) and secondary (pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine and N-benzylamine) amines have been measured in benzene as a function of nucleophile concentration. Most of the reactions studied show apparent kinetic constants little affected or not affected by an increase in amine concentration, indicating that the overall reaction rate is controlled by the formation of the reaction intermediate. The reactions of the substrates where X = Br and CN with the two primary amines proved to be base-catalysed. The k3B/k-1values calculated for these substituents are inconsistent with the hypothesis of a base catalysis for the intermediate decomposition and strongly suggest a catalysis of the first step of the reaction pathway

    The First Kinetic Evidence for Acid Catalysis in a Monocyclic Rearrangement of Heterocycles: Conversion of the Z-Phenylhydrazone of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into N,5-Diphenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-ylurea

    The title reaction has been studied in dioxane/water in a large (0.1-14.9) pS+ range, evidencing, together with an uncatalyzed process at intermediate (3.5-8.0) pS+ values, the occurrence of a catalyzed pathway both in the acidic (pS+ 0.1-3.5) and in the basic region (pS+ 8.0-14.9): specificacid catalysis and general-base catalysis, respectively, have been found to take place by means of kinetic investigations at different buffer concentrations. Mechanisms for the three pathways have been advanced on the grounds of structural features. In a comparison with previous data particular attention has been paid to the acid-catalyzed pathway, herein observed for the first time in an azole-to-azole interconversion. The mechanistic hypotheses seem well supported by ab initio calculations
