Kinetic and equilibrium results for the reactions of 2-phenoxy-3,5-dinitropyridine (1), with a series of 2, 2, 4- and 2, 6- substituted anilines (2a-f), in the presence of DABCO in DMSO are reported. The reactions yield the 2-anilino derivatives (5), without the accumulation of intermediates. Kinetics studies are compatible with a two-step mechanism involving initial nucleophilic attack by amine at the ring carbon substituted by phenoxy group followed by either base-catalyzed or uncatalyzed conversion to the product. The base-catalyzed pathway is likely to involve rate-limiting proton-transfer from the zwitterionic intermediate to base. This work indicates a steric effect to proton transfer in reactions involving 2, 6-disubstituted anilines. The results were compared with those for reactions of 1, 3, 5-trinitrobenzene with anilines.

Preferential exposure of Si-face of SiC will mechanistically shift the rate limiting step of water oxidation from sluggish proton-coupled electron transfer on C-face to a more energy-favorable electron transfer.

We report herein the first kinetic study of a P=S containing organophosphorus pesticide, Diazinon (1), in the moderately concentrated acid region. Product analyses (31P NMR) show that reaction occurs only at the P centre. The rate-acidity profile (kobs vs. molarity of H2SO4) appears as a curve in which the initial slight downward trace (molarity = 1 to ca. 5) is followed by sharper upward curve (molarity ca. 5 to 14). Using treatments involving the excess acidity (X) method, the A-1 and A-2 mechanistic possibilities were found to be inoperative over the full acidity range. A novel mechanism is proposed for the higher acidity (X ca. 2–6) region. This mechanism involves proton transfer to P=S from hydronium ion with concomitant proton transfer from water, which effectively delivers hydroxide to the P centre in a variant of the A-SE2 process. A putative A-2 mechanism in this region is supplanted by the proposed A-SE2 variant where the cyclic array results in proton transfer being efficiently coupled with nucleophilic attack involving water. This constitutes the first report of rate-limiting proton transfer at the P=S functionality in acid hydrolysis of this class of organophosphorus neutroxins. A 600 000-fold acceleration in the decomposition of Diazinon is associated with the change of medium from neutral aqueous solution to the most acidic medium studied (X ca. 6). Key words: phosphorothioate ester hydrolysis, acid catalysis, rate-limiting proton transfer at P=S, excess acidity analysis, new A-SE2 variant mechanism.

The reaction of N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)glycinamide (Ic with methoxide in methanol produces the spiro adduct IIc(A). In methanolic acetate buffers, the equilibrium is rapidly established between the spiro adduct IIc(A) and the dipolar ion of 2-methylamino-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)acetamide (IIIc(Z)). The equilibrium constant of the reaction IIIc(Z) ⇆ IIc(A) + H+ is by eight orders of magnitude greater than that of the analogous cyclization of 2-methylamino-N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)acetamide to the spiro adduct. In chloracetate buffers, the dipolar ion is protonated to give 2-methylammonium-N-(2,4,6-trinitrohenyl)acetamide IIIc(K). The kinetics of the reversible reaction IIIc(Z) ⇆ IIc(A) + H+ has been studied in acetate buffers, aliphatic amine – ammonium salt buffers, and methoxide solutions. In all cases, the rate-limiting step was the proton transfer with half-lives in milliseconds. In more basic methanolic buffers (pH > 10) the rate-limiting step consists in the formation of spiro adduct from the zwiterion IIIc(Z) resulting from the protonation of the anion IIIc(A). n acetate buffers, the second reaction pathway via the cation IIIc(K) is predominant.
