A series of 5,5-dimethyl-4-aryl-Δ1-1,2,4-triazolin-3-ones (Ar = C6H5, p-C6H4CH3, p-C6H4OCH3, p-C6H4Cl, and p-C6H4Br) were prepared from the corresponding 4-arylsemicarbazones of acetone by oxidative cyclization on alumina. The triazolinones decompose in solution to N2, CO, and isopropylidene aryl amine, with first order kinetics, in the temperature range 148–200 °C. Average activation parameters are ΔH≠ = 35 kcal mol−1 and ΔS≠ = 8 cal K−1 mol−1. Substituent effects are correlated through σ-constants but the thermolyses are relatively insensitive to substituents, with ρ = −0.17 at 172.5 °C. Solvent effects indicate a transition state that is less polar than the ground state.It is tentatively concluded that the triazolinone fragmentation, like the analogous thermolysis of a Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-2-one, may be a fully-concerted but nonsynchronous process with a transition state involving little, if any, charge separation. Other mechanisms, except for those involving highly polar (e.g. zwitterionic) transition states, have not been ruled out.

The reaction of para-substituted phenyl isocyanates with amines and alcohols was studied by stopped-flow method. The Hammett correlation obtained showed that the sensitivity of the above mentioned reactions toward substituent effects is the same as that of analogous reactions of phenyl isothiocyanates (ρ ~ 2). The rate constants of these reactions were found to be affected more by steric effects than by solvent effects. An one step multicentre mechanism with partial charges in transition state has been proposed for the title reactions.

Rate constants were measured for the oxidative chlorination reaction of N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide 2 and twelve ortho-, nine meta- and twelve para-substituted derivatives in the aniline moiety, using 1-chloro-3-methyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one (1) as chlorinating agent. The kinetics was run in 50% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid acidified with perchloric acid under pseudo-first-order conditions with respect to 1 at five different temperatures between 298 and 318 K. The dependence of rate constants on temperature was analysed in terms of the isokinetic relationship (IKR). The resulting isokinetic temperature was estimated to be 513 K. Using the Linert's theory of the IKR, the experimental isokinetic temperature was interpreted as evidence for the preferential involvement of water molecules in the formation of activated complexes. The dependence of the rate constants on the substituents was analysed using the tetralinear extension of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation for the effects of meta and para substituents. A positively charged transition state was suggested by an experimental value r+ = 0.39 for the resonance demand, which was found to be insensitive to temperature variation. The parameter λ for the para/meta ratio of substituent effects was estimated to be 0.952. The electrostatic modelling of λ values was re-examined in the light of the recent calculations of the energies of interaction between charged and/or dipolar groups by Exner and Böhm. Based on energy ratios, the electrostatic method was shown to remain valid for the purpose of modelling λ values. The experimental λ value for the reaction indicates the formation of an activated complex possessing an electric charge in the vicinity of the nitrogen atom of the substrate. The electrophilic attack on the substrate nitrogen atom by the protonated chlorinating reagent has been proposed as the rate-determining step, with the last step being the fast rearrangement of the intermediate N-chloro-N-phenylbenzenesulfonamidium cation into the products.

The small but systematic polar substituent effect on the rates of [1,5]- homodienyl hydrogen migrations previously observed for the series of alkenylcyclopropane substrates (1) has been further explored through two additional substrate series (4) and (6) bearing the aryl probe at C4 and at the migration origin C1 respectively. However, negligible substituent effects were apparent at these positions. It now seems that the substituent effect originally observed at C5 reflects electronic perturbation by the substituent, rather than an inherent charge separation in the transition state for homodienyl rearrangement. The aryl group at C1 of the series (6) does, however, afford a substantial rate enhancement relative to the parent cis-1-methyl-2-vinylcyclopropane. In addition, exclusive formation of (1E,4Z)-1-arylhexa-1,4-diene rearrangement products is observed. These kinetic and stereochemical observations are interpreted in terms of a stereoelectronically favoured equatorial conformation for the aryl group in the transition state for rearrangement.
