Leaving Group Ability

The methoxy group is generally considered as a poor leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions. This work verified the superior ability of the methoxy group in nucleophilic amination of arenes mediated by the sodium hydride and lithium iodide through experimental and computational approaches.

Saturated Carbon Atom

Sulphur/nitrogen reactivity ratios in a series of aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions of ambident thiocyanate ion have been determined. There are profound differences from the pattern found in SN2 reactions at a saturated carbon atom. Abnormal transition states, involving interactions between entering and leaving group, are likely in the bond-breaking step of the intermediate complex in reactions of thiocyanate ion with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and with 2,4- dinitrophenyl 4-toluenesulphonate. The nitro-substituted aryl thiocyanates are shown to be tri-functional electrophiles, with reactive centres at aromatic carbon, at cyanide carbon, and at sulphur. Aryl 4-toluenesulphonates are bifunctional electrophiles with reactive centres at aryl carbon and sulphonyl sulphur. The site of attack by nucleophiles depends on the nature of the nucleophile. The sulphur/nitrogen reactivity ratio of ambident SCN-, and the electrophilic reactivity of tri- and bi-functional substrates, are in most instances consistent with the Hard and Soft Acids and Bases principle. Exceptions to the principle in some instances reveal differences between the SNAr and SN2 mechanisms, and in others indicate abnormal transition states.

The nucleophilic substitution reaction to quaternary Mannich base from vanillin has been investigated. Mannich reaction to vanillin was carried out by refluxing mixture of vanillin, formaldehyde and dimethyl amine. Quaternary ammonium halide salt was obtained from reaction of Mannich vanillin base with methyl iodide in THF solvents and yielded 93.28 %. Nucleophilic substituion to the halide salts with cyanide nucleophile produced 4-hidroxy-3-methoxy-5-(cyano)methylbenzaldehyde in 54.39% yield. Reaction with methoxyde ion yielded 4-hydroxy- 3-methoxy-5-(methoxy) -methylbenzaldehyde in 67.80% yield. The nucleophilic substitution reaction showed that trimethylamino substituent of quaternary Mannich base can act as a good leaving group on nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Ligand Substitution Reactions

In ligand substitution reactions, one or more ligands around a metal ion are replaced by other ligands. In many ways, all inorganic reactions can be classified as either substitution or oxidation-reduction reactions, so that substitution reactions represent a major type of inorganic process. Some examples of substitution reactions follow: The operational approach was first expounded in 1965 in a monograph by Langford and Gray. It is an attempt to classify reaction mechanisms in relation to the type of information that kinetic studies of various types can provide. It delineates what can be said about the mechanism on the basis of the observations from certain types of experiments. The mechanism is classified by two properties, its stoichiometric character and its intimate character. The Stoichiometric mechanism can be determined from the kinetic behavior of one system. The classifications are as follows: 1. Dissociative (D): an intermediate of lower coordination number than the reactant can be identified. 2. Associative (A): an intermediate of larger coordination number than the reactant can be identified. 3. Interchange (I): no detectable intermediate can be found. The intimate mechanism can be determined from a series of experiments in which the nature of the reactants is changed in a systematic way. The classifications are as follows: 1. Dissociative activation (d): the reaction rate is more sensitive to changes in the leaving group. 2. Associative activation (a): the reaction rate is more sensitive to changes in the entering group. This terminology has largely replaced the SN1, SN2 and so on type of nomenclature that is still used in physical organic chemistry. These terminologies are compared and further explained as follows: Dissociative [D = SN1 (limiting)]: there is definite evidence of an intermediate of reduced coordination number. The bond between the metal and the leaving group has been completely broken in the transition state without any bond making to the entering group. Dissociative interchange (1d= SN1): there is no definite evidence of an intermediate. In the transition state, there is a large degree of bond breaking to the leaving group and a small amount of bond making to the entering group.

Bridgehead Position

The reactions of 1-bromo-7-nitro- and 1-bromo-6-nitro-1,4-methanonaphthalene (2) and (3), and 9-bromo-2-nitro, 10-bromo-2-nitro-, 9,10-dibromo-2-nitro- and 9,10-diiodo-2-nitro-9,10-ethano-9,10-dihydroanthracene (4)-(7). respectively, with the sodium salt (1) of p-toluenethiol gave substitution products that were shown to be formed by an SRN1 or a related radical chain mechanism. In the relatively slow substitution reactions of the salt (1) with compounds (2)-(5). That contain bromine at bridgehead positions that are either meta- or para-benzylic to an aromatic nitro group, the rates of substitution in the isomers where the leaving group was meta- benzylic to the aromatic nitro group were slightly greater than those for the corresponding para-benzylic isomer. In compounds (6)and (7) the halogens are at bridgehead positions that are either meta- or para-benzylic relative to an aromatic nitro group within the same molecule. In the case of the reaction of the dibromide (6) with the thiolate (1), substitution was slow and occurred more rapidly at the benzylic -bridgehead position meta to the nitro group than at the corresponding para-benzylic position. In contast , the reaction of the diiodide (7) with the thiolate (1) gave substitution products which formed more rapidly than in the corresponding reaction of the dibromide (6) and the regioselectivity was reversed, with substitution occurring more readily at the bridgehead position para-benzylic to the nitro group than at the corresponding meta- benzylic position. The ratio of meta to para substitution products, determined for the reactions of compounds (2)-(6) with the salt (1), were in the range 1.15-2.5:1, while the reaction of (7) with the same nucleophile afforded a meta-to-para ratio of 1:2:3. These ratios contrast not only with each other, but also with the differences in reactivities determined for other nitrobenzylic systems, which are known to undergo SRN1 substitution reactions with the same nucleophile. The differences in first, the regioselectivity of substitution between the bridgehead systems, and secondly, the differences in the observed rates of regioselective substitution are compared with other simple nitrobenzylic halides. These differences are rationalized in terms of the effect of fixing the C-X bond at a bridgehead position to be orthogonal with the plane of the nitroaromatic group; this results in a reduction of the rate constants of intramolecular electron transfer, with significant consequences on the detailed overall mechanism for these reactions.

The Relationship

Empirical measures of σ bonding involving metal 3d orbitals are derived from Perumareddi's (4) complete analysis of the quartet spectral bands of quadrate complexes in the families Cr(NH3)5Xn+ and Cr(OH2)5Xn+. These are shown to correlate with lability of X in the Cr(III) complexes and in Co(NH3)5Xn+ complexes in a sense indicating that relative reactivity is controlled by variation of ligand metal 3d σ interaction. The relationship between the two Cr(III) series implies that the non-labile ligands can labilize the leaving group in proportion to their σ donor capacities. This observation bears on some well-known difficulties in crystal field theories of reactivity. In evaluating the correlation of spectral parameters with reactivity, the role of solvation in reactivity of Cr(III) and Co(III) complexes is discussed with emphasis on the surprisingly small solvent effects that have been observed.
