The second-order rate constants k (in dm3 mol–1 s–1) for alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of meta-, para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr at 25 °C. The substituent effects for para and meta derivatives were described using the Hammett relationship. For the ortho derivatives the Charton equation was used. For ortho-substituted esters two steric scales were involved: the EsB and the Charton steric (υ) constants. When going from pure water to aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr, the meta and para polar effects, the ortho inductive and resonance effects in alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of substituted benzoic acids, became stronger nearly to the same extent as found for alkaline hydrolysis of C6H5CO2C6H4-X. The steric term of ortho-substituted esters was almost independent of the media considered. The rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of ortho-, meta- and para-substituted phenyl benzoates (X-C6H4CO2C6H5, C6H5CO2C6H4-X) and alkyl benzoates, C6H5CO2R, in water, 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr were correlated with the corresponding IR stretching frequencies of carbonyl group, (ΔνCO)X.

AbstractThe second-order rate constants k for the alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of meta-, para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, in aqueous 50.9% acetonitrile have been measured spectrophotometrically at 25°C. The log k values for meta and para derivatives correlated well with the Hammett σm,p substituent constants. The log k values for ortho-substituted phenyl benzoates showed good correlations with the Charton equation, containing the inductive, σI, resonance, σ○ R, and steric, E s B, and Charton υ substituent constants. For ortho derivatives the predicted (log k X)calc values were calculated with equation (log k ortho)calc = (log k H AN)exp + 0.059 + 2.19σI + 0.304σ○ R + 2.79E s B − 0.0164ΔEσI — 0.0854ΔEσ○ R, where DE is the solvent electrophilicity, ΔE = E AN — E H20 = −5.84 for aqueous 50.9% acetonitrile. The predicted (log k X)calc values for phenyl ortho-, meta- and para-substituted benzoates in aqueous 50.9% acetonitrile at 25°C precisely coincided with the experimental log k values determined in the present work.The substituent effects from the benzoyl moiety and aryl moiety were compared by correlating the log k values for the alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, in various media with the corresponding log k values for substituted phenyl benzoates, C6H5CO2C6H4-X.

The transition-state activity coefficient [Formula: see text] approach has been applied to the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of benzamide and its N-alkyl derivatives. For all systems (with the exception of the N-tert-butyl derivative which reacts via carbon–nitrogen bond cleavage) a uniform type of medium dependence of [Formula: see text] is observed. The reaction shows a pronounced destabilization of S≠ over the whole region of acidity studied, practically identical to that found for the AAc-2 type of ester hydrolysis. This is interpreted in terms of an AoT2 mechanism of amide hydrolysis, that is the rate-determining formation of the oxonium-type tetrahedral intermediate from the O-protonated form of substrate conjugate acid.

Intramolecular amide hydrolysis of N-methylmaleamic acid is revisited at the B3LYP/6-311G(2df, p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) + ZVPE level, including solvent effects at the CPCM-B3LYP/6-311G(2df, p)//Onsager-B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) + ZPVE level. The concerted reaction mechanism is energetically favorable over stepwise reaction mechanisms in both the gas phase and solution. The calculated reaction barriers are significantly lower in solution than in the gas phase. In addition, it is concluded that the substituents of the four N-methylmaleamic acid derivatives considered herein have a significant effect on the gas-phase reaction barriers but a smaller, or little, effect on the barriers in solution.

The second-order rate constants k (dm3 mol-1 s-1) for the alkaline hydrolysis of meta-, para-, and ortho-substituted phenyl tosylates 4-CH3C6H4SO2OC6H4-X in aqueous 0.5 M Bu4NBr have been measured spectrophotometrically in a wide temperature range. The log k values for ortho-substituted derivatives at various temperatures together with meta- and para-substituted derivatives were analyzed using the modified Fujita-Nishioka equation log km,p,ortho = c0 + c1(m,p,ortho)σ° + c2(ortho)σI + c3(1/T) + c4(m,p,ortho)(1/T)σ° + c5(ortho)(1/T)σI. In order to study the dependence of substituent effects, especially ortho inductive and resonance terms on different solvent parameters, the following equation was used: ∆log km,p,ortho = c0 + c1(m,p,ortho)σ° + c2(ortho)σI + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6(m,p,ortho)∆Eσ° + + c7(m,p,ortho)∆Yσ° + c8(m,p,ortho)∆Pσ° + c9(ortho)∆EσI + c10(ortho)∆YσI + c11(ortho)∆PσI. ∆log k = log kX - log kH, σ° and σI, are the Taft polar and inductive substituent constants, E, Y and P, are the solvent electrophilicity, polarity and polarizability parameters, respectively. In data treatment ∆E = ES - EH2O, ∆Y = YS - YH2O, ∆P = PS - PH2O were used. The solvent electrophilicity was found to be the main factor responsible for changes in the ortho, para, and meta polar substituent effects with medium. The variation of the ortho inductive term with the solvent electrophilicity ES was found to be twice smaller than that for para substituents, while the ortho resonance term appeared to vary with solvent nearly similarly to that for para substituents. The ortho effect caused by the supplementary inductive effect from ortho position was found to disappear in a solvent whose electrophilic solvating power is comparable to pure DMSO (E ≈ 4).

N-(2,6-Dinitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)aniline derivatives were prepared by anilino-dechlorination of 4-chloro-3, 5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride. IR, UV and 1H NMR studies suggested an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the amino hydrogen and one o-nitro group. An addition-elimination mechanism was suggested based on the second-order kinetics and the dependence of rates on the nature and the position of the substituent in the aniline ring, as well as the high negative values of ρ(-3.14, −3.16, −3.01). Such values indicate a positive charge on the aniline nitrogen in the transition state and that the rate is affected by the polar effect of the substituent. The β value (0.85 at 30°C) indicates an appreciable degree of bond formation in the transition state.

The title compounds were prepared and their basicities measured. In both systems the major part of the molecule is held planar, while an aryl group is free to rotate. This may interact with the positive charge but steric hindrance to the ortho hydrogens may be expected to oppose planarity. In these systems no evidence was found for a reduction of the normal σ+ value due to failure to achieve planarity. A formula is presented which gives the approximate degree of resemblance (α) of the transition state to the products and, in the case of the ionization of triarylmethanols, α is found to be linear with pKR+. It is suggested that this could resolve the apparent contradiction between the Hammett equation and the Hammond postulate.

The second-order rate constants k2 (dm3 mol-1 s-1) for the alkaline hydrolysis of substituted alkyl benzoates C6H5CO2R have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 M Bu4NBr at 50 and 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH, CH2C6H5, CH2CH2Cl, CH2CH2OCH3, CH2CH3) and in aqueous 5.3 M NaClO4 at 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH). The dependence of the alkyl substituent effects on different solvent parameters was studied using the following equations:      ∆ log k = c0 + c1σI + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆EσI + c7∆YσI + c8∆PσI     ∆ log k = c0 + c1σ* + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆Eσ* + c7∆Yσ* + c8∆Pσ* .  ∆ log k = log kR - log kCH3. σI and σ* are the Taft inductive and polar substituent constants. E, Y and P are the solvent electrophilicity, polarity and polarizability parameters, respectively. In the data treatment ∆E = ES - EH2O , ∆Y = YS - YH2O , ∆P = PS - PH2O were used. The solvent electrophilicity, E, was found to be the main factor responsible for changes in alkyl substituent effects with medium. When σI constants were used, variation of the polar term of alkyl substituents with the solvent electrophilicity E was found to be similar to that observed earlier for meta and para substituents, but twice less when σ* constants were used. The steric term for alkyl substituents was approximately independent of the solvent parameters.
