General-base-catalyzed Proton Exchange in Glycocyamidiniom Ions: A Comparison of Activation by Protonation and by Alkylation
Keyword(s):
The rates of exchange of methylene protons in seven glycocyamidinium ions in formate and chloroacetate buffers were measured in D2O by means of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. When protonation and methylation of glycocyamidines occur at the same site the methyated products react faster than the protonated products by factors of 1.8–1.9. Replacing ring protons in glycocyamidinium ions by methyl groups causes small increases in the méthylène exchange rate whereas corresponding substitution at the exocyclic nitrogen causes small rate decreases. It is concluded that in this reaction a quaternary ion ZR+ can serve as a satisfactory model for the analogous conjugate acid ZH+.
