The secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effects in the acetolyses and formolyses of 2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethyl and 2-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-ethyl p-bromobenzenesulfonates (I-OBs and II-OBs, respectively) and their corresponding 1,1-dideuterio analogues (I-OBs-1-d2 and II-OBs-1-d2) were determined. The observed kH/kD values are compared with similar data from the literature for 2-phenylethyl and 2-p-anisylethyl p-toluenesulfonates (III-OTs and IV-OTs, respectively). In the formolyses of III-OTs, IV-OTs, and I-OBs, which proceed either chiefly or exclusively by way of bridged ions as intermediates, the isotope effects appear to increase slightly with increasing bridged-ion stability. For I-OBs and I-OBs-1-d2, acetolyses gave smaller kH/kD values than formolyses because of deuterium scrambling caused by ion-pair returns during the acetolysis. Acetolyses and formolyses of II-OBs and II-OBs-1-d2 gave lower isotope effects than the corresponding reactions with I-OBs and I-OBs-1-d2. The magnitudes of the observed isotope effects in relation to transition-state structures are discussed.

Transition State Structures

Rates of dehydrobromination of a series of 4-nitro-and methoxystilbene dibromides by means of acetate, cyanide or chloride ions in dimethylformamide have been measured. A product analysis was performed which indicated a strong preference for anti elimination. Probable transition state structures utilized by each of the three nucleophiles are described. Attack by the base may be at either β-hydrogen (E2H) or Cα (E2C). The slowest reaction is with chloride ion, which also gives the highest anti/syn elimination product ratio.

Transition State Structures

Transition state structures for debromination reactions of a series of para-substituted stilbene dibromides were evaluated from kinetic and product distribution data for the nucleophiles chloride, cyanide, iodide and 4-nitrothiophenoxide in dimethylformamide . The debrominations appear to utilize transition states in which nucleophilic attack is at bromine despite the strong carbon- nucleophilicity of some of the bases. Products are largely those derived from anti- debromination with all nucleophiles and reactivity is in the order 4-nitrothiophenoxide > cyanide > iodide > chloride.

The influence of mechanical force on the rates of model reductive elimination reactions depends on the structure of the force-transducing ligand and provides a measure of geometry changes upon reaching the transition state.

p-Methoxy- and p-nitro substituted analogues (1b and 1c) of the diaxial β-chlorothioether 2β-chloro-3α-(phenylthio)-5α-cholestane (1a), have been prepared and found to undergo the diaxial → diequatorial rearrangement. The rates of rearrangement of these compounds show the sequence p-methoxy > H > p-nitro. It is concluded that the transition state for the rearrangement is polarized in the sense of a sulfonium chloride (3). The rearrangement of 1a is 1600 times faster in butanol than in decalin (at 110°). There is thus no inherent insensitivity to solvent change in a rearrangement in which there may be a "four-atom arrangement" in the transition state, a conclusion relevant to previous work on the diaxial → diequatorial rearrangement of 1,2-dibromides (1). It was further found that the nitro group slowed the rearrangement (at 110°) more in butanol than in decalin, an observation regarded as consistent with, but not requiring, the incursion of a merged ion-pair, cyclic concerted mechanism.
