The reaction of methoxide ion with 2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylsulfonylanisole, 4-nitro-2-triftuoromethylsulfonylanisole and 2,4- bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)anisole in DMSO has been studied by 1H and 19F nmr. Evidence for the transient formation of gem-dimethoxy σ-adducts arising from nucleophilic attack at the aromatic C1 carbon is given. Concurrent methoxide ion attack occurs at the sulfur atom of the SO2CF3 group to give the aryl methyl sulfonates ArSO3CH3, which are slowly converted into aryl sulfonates ArSO3−. The 1H chemical shifts of the anisoles are consistent with a greater electron-withdrawing effect of the SO2CF3 group compared to the nitro group. In contrast, a 4-nitro group appears to be more efficient than a 4-SO2CF3 group in delocalizing the negative charge of the σ-adducts.

The structures of transient 1,3-complexes 2 and stable 1,1-complexes 3 formed by the reaction of methoxide ion with various 4-X-2,6-dinitroanisoles in DMSO-d6 are confirmed by n.m.r. spectroscopy. 13C satellites in the proton spectra of anisoles and 1,1-complexes have been used to obtain [Formula: see text] as well as 4JH–H in these symmetrical compounds.The chemical shifts of the ring protons in 1,3- and 1,1-complexes give some information concerning the influence of the substituent X on the delocalization of the negative charge. In anisoles and 1,1-complexes, [Formula: see text] of the ring protons are mainly dependent on the inductive effect of X. Furthermore, a linear relationship is observed in anisoles between the chemical shift as well as [Formula: see text] of the methoxyl protons and the Hammett σP constant of X, thus suggesting an identical geometry of these molecules at C-2,-1, and -6.

A variety of isothiazolium salts has been prepared and allowed to react with sodium benzoylacetate. 2-Benzoylthiophenes are obtained, suggesting that the position of initial nucleophilic attack is at the sulfur atom of the heterocyclic cation. Reaction with hydrogen sulfide gave acyclic reduction products, or 1,2-dithiole derivatives, depending on the type of substituent on nitrogen in the isothiazolium salts.

The theoretical mechanism of the interaction of 1,3-dichloropropene with 1,2- ethanedithiol in the system "hydrazine hydrate-KOH" has been proposed by the method of B3LYP / 6- 311 ++ G (d, p) in the framework of the theory of the electron-density functional according to which the reaction proceeds successively in several stages, including the nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom present in the sp3-hybridized carbon atom with a sulfur atom to form a mono-substitution product that undergoes a prototropic allylic rearrangement that migrates the double bond to the sulfur atom, followed by closure in the dithiolane cycle due to the nucleophilic attack of the sulfide anion of the second thiol group of the reagent per carbon atom located in the γ-position with respect to the second chlorine atom.

Rate data for the reaction of a number of benzohydrazonoyl compounds with methoxide ion are reported. The stereochemistry of the products was determined by h.p.l.c. The mechanism of the reactions and the stereochemistry of the products resulting from an addition-elimination mechanism are discussed.

The geometry of 3-trifluoromethylphenylchloroformate (FMPCF) was optimized with B3LYP method using 6–311++G** and cc–pVTZ basis sets. The molecular structural parameters and thermodynamic properties of the compound have been determined. The vibrational frequencies of the fundamental modes of the compound have been precisely assigned, analyzed and the theoretical results were compared with the experimental data. The energies of important molecular orbitals of the compound are also evaluated from DFT method. The Frontier orbital energy gap (ELUMO–EHOMO) is found to be 6.2143 eV. The extreme limits of the electrostatic potential is +8.301e × 10–3 to –8.301e × 10–3 while the total electron density spreads between +3.835e × 10–2 to –3.835e × 10–2. 1H NMR and 13C NMR chemical shifts are measured and compared with their gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO) calculated values. The n(O7) →π*(C13–O14) and π(C1–C6) →π*(C2–C3) transitions are best stablized with 48.40 and 21.03 kcal mol–1, respectively. In 3-trifluoromethylphenylchloroformate, the atoms C13 is favourable for electrophilic attack. The atoms C2 and C8 are more favourable for nucleophilic attack. The dual descriptors (Δfk, Δsk and Δωk) revealed that the order of nucleophilic attack is C1 > C4 > C2 > C8 > C5. Thus, the present investigation provides complete structure, vibrations and reactivity characteristics of the compound.
