| Popis: | A kinetic study is reported for reactions of Y-substituted phenyl X-substituted cinnamates (1a-e and 3a-g) and benzoates (2a-e and 4a-g) with a series of alicyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted cinnamates (1a-e) and benzoates (2a-e) with amines result in linear Yukawa-Tsuno plots. The rho(X) values are much smaller for the reactions of 1a-e than for those of 2a-e. A distance effect and the nature of the reaction mechanism (i.e., a concerted mechanism for 1a-e) have been suggested to be responsible for the small rho(X) values. The Brønsted-type plots for the reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted cinnamates (1a, 1c, and 1e) with amines are curved with a decreasing betanuc value from 0.65 to 0.3-0.4. The reactions of Y-substituted phenyl cinnamates (3a-g) with morpholine also result in a curved Brønsted plot, while the corresponding reactions of Y-substituted phenyl benzoates (4a-e) exhibit a linear Brønsted plot. It has been concluded that the curved Brønsted plots found for the reactions of the cinnamates (1a, 1c, 1e, and 3a-g) are not due to a change in the rate-determining step (RDS) but due to a normal Hammond effect for a concerted mechanism, that is, an earlier transition state (TS) for a more reactive amine or substrate. |
