Mechanism Of The Reaction

The reaction between 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and the alkoxide bases ŌCH3, ŌC2H5, ŌnC4H9, ŌCH(CH3)2, and ŌC(CH3)3 in their corresponding alcohol solvents is a multistep reaction with several intermediates: 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-alkoxyethane (A), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1-fluoro-1-alkoxyethene (B), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-dialkoxyethene (C), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoroethene (D), and 4,4′-dinitrobenzophene (E). Rate constants and activation parameters have been measured for the appearance of the two stable products B and C. The kinetic deuterium isotope effects for the appearance of B fell in the range of kH/kD = 1 to 2 at 25 °C for the primary and secondary alkoxides, whereas kH/kD = 5.4 at 30 °C for the appearance of D with tert-butoxide. Exchange experiments showed that H/D exchange took place between the substrate and solvent to the extent of 100% with methoxide, 50% with ethoxide and isopropoxide, and 0% with tert-butoxide. It is concluded the HF elimination from the substrate follows an (ElcB)R mechanism with methoxide/methanol, changing to (ElcB)I or E2 with tert-butoxide/tert-butanol.

Kinetics Of

The kinetics of the formation and decomposition of the pseudobases from the 2-methyl-4-nitroisoquinolinium, 10-methylacridinium, and 10-methyl-9-phenylacridinium ions have been studied. The pH–rate profiles of these reactions indicate that for each of these ions, pseudobase formation may kinetically involve either attack of a water molecule or of hydroxide ion on the heterocyclic cation depending upon the pH of the reaction. Pseudobase decomposition to the cation may occur through either the neutral or protonated pseudobase species or their kinetic equivalents. The temperature dependences of the equilibrium and kinetics are reported for each ion, and deuterium isotope effects for the reactions of the 2-methyl-4-nitroisoquinolinium ion have been measured. Possible mechanisms for the reactions are discussed on the basis of the observed activation parameters and isotope effects and are compared with related reactions.

Elimination Reactions

Rate constants for the β-elimination of HCl from 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethane (I) and 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroéthane (II) promoted by tetramethylguanidine in the aprotic solvents acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and n-hexane have been measured. The activation parameters are characterized by small enthalpies of activation (4.1 to 7.3 kcal mol−1) and large negative entropies of activation (−35 to −50 cal mol−1 deg−1). The primary deuterium isotope effects at 20° C range from kH/kD = 4.8 to 10.3. The results are interpreted to indicate an (EcB)1 mechanism for both substrates I and II in acetonitrile solvent and an E2H or mixed (ElcB)1–E2H mechanism in the less polar solvents, tetrahydrofuran and n-hexane.

The Difference

Secondary kinetic deuterium isotope effects have been measured for the reaction between thiosulfate ion and methyl-d3 halides and sulfonates in 50% v/v ethanol–water. The results are used to extend the correlation of Seltzer of kH/kD with the difference between the polarizabilities of the attacking nucleophile and the leaving group.Dissociation constants for the [NaS2O3]− ion have been determined by conductivity measurements for the reaction conditions and used to calculate the concentration of free thiosulfate ions present in the reaction mixture. The activation parameters ΔH≠ and ΔS≠, based on second order rate constants calculated with respect to the concentration of thiosulfate ion, are reported.
