Kinetic studies, secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effects, primary chlorine kinetic isotope effects (1), Hammett ρ values determined by changing the substituent in the nucleophile, and activation parameters have been used to determine the detailed (relative) structures of the transition states for the SN2 reactions between para-substituted benzyl chlorides and thiophenoxide ion. A rationale for the U-shaped Hammett ρ plots observed when para-substituted benzyl compounds react with negatively charged nucleophiles is also presented.

AbstractRates of HCN elimination from polycyanides N,N-dimethyl-4-(1,2,2-tricyanoethyl)-aniline (1), 9-cyano-9-dicyanomethyl fluorene (2), 1,1-diphenyl-1,2,2-tricyanoethane (3), and 2-phenyl-1,1,2-tricyanopropane (4) have been studied in methanol. Elimination from 1 occurs via (E 1 c B)R, mechanism. On the other hand olefin formation from 2-4 has been shown to occur via (E 1)anion pathway. Heavy atom kinetic isotope effects indicated that product stability is not the sole factor controlling the transition state geometries. Values of k12/k14 were found to be in the order 2 > 3 > 4 > 1 which implied transition states with more carbanion-like structure in the opposite direction. Solvent isotope effects and enthalpies of activation were also determined and discussed in terms of transition states geometries.

The secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effects and substituent effect found in the SN2 reactions between a series of para-substituted sodium thiophenoxides and benzyldimethylphenylammonium ion are significantly larger when the reacting nucleophile is a free ion than when it is a solvent-separated ion pair complex. Tighter transition states are found when a poorer nucleophile is used in both the free ion and ion pair reactions. Also, the transition states for all but one substituent are tighter for the reactions with the solvent-separated ion pair complex than with the free ion. Hammett ρ values found by changing the substituent on the nucleophile do not appear to be useful for determining the length of the sulphur–α-carbon bond in the ion pair and free ion transition states. Keywords: Isotope effects, ion pairing, nucleophilic substitution, SN2 reactions, transition states.
