On the application of the extended Fujita-Nishioka equation to polysubstitued system. A kinetic study of the rearrangement of several poly-substitued Z-arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,3-triazoles in dioxane/water

Abstract The rearrangement rates of several di-, tri-, tetra- or penta-substituted Z -arylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole ( 1a – 18a ) into the relevant 2-aryl-4-benzoylamino-5-phenyl-1,2,3-triazoles ( 1b – 18b ) have been determined in 1:1 (v:v) dioxane/water in a wide range of p S + (3.80–12.50) at different temperatures. The kinetic data obtained have been correlated with those previously collected for the rearrangement of ortho -, meta - and para -substituted Z -arylhydrazones ( 19a – 38a ) by means of an extension of the linear free-energy relationship (LFER) proposed by Fujita and Nishioka, thus considering steric ( E s ) and field ( F o ) proximity effects in additi…

Substituent effects on the mechanism changeover in a multipathway reaction: A model for the behavior of biological systems?

By studying the rearrangement in dioxane/water of a series of (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3- benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1a-k) into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas (2a-k) in a wide range of pS + (an operational scale of proton concentration in the mixed solvent used; dioxane/water, 1:1, v:v), the occurrence of three different reaction pathways (specific-acid- catalyzed, uncatalyzed, and general-base-catalyzed) for the relevant SNi process has been recently enlightened. The significantly different substituent effects on the three pathways cause some crossovers in the log kA,R versus pS + plots. Both the pS + value at which the crossover occurs and the width of the u…

ChemInform Abstract: Gas-Phase and Solution Basicities of Some Alkyl 2,6-Dialkylphenyl Ketones: A Comparative Analysis.

Abstract The gas-phase basicity of a number of alkyl 2,6-dialkylphenyl ketones (2,6-R2C6H3COR′) has been found to be almost insensitive to structural variations, as a result of a compensation of steric and electronic effects associated with the bulkiness and to the polarizability, respectively, of R and/or R′. On the contrary, the basicity in concentrated sulfuric acid undergoes, along the same series of compounds, a variation of nearly 8 pK units, as a consequence of steric inhibition of solvation of the protonated carbonyl as the main effect played by R and/or R′. The results in the condensed phase agree very nicely with recent findings relevant to some 4-substituted 2,6-dimethylacetophen…

On the use of multi-parameter free energy relationships: the rearrangement of (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-tryazol-4-yl)ureas

Abstract By using a multi-parameter approach (a combination of Hammett/Ingold-Yukawa-Tsuno/Fujita-Nishioka free energy relationships) the mononuclear rearrangements of heterocycles (MRH) rates for five new ortho-substituted and ten new di-, tri-, or tetra-substituted (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas (in dioxane/water and in a large range of pS+ values) have been related to the electronic and proximity effects exerted by the present substituents, also considering previous results on some mono meta- and para-substituted (Z)-arylhydrazones. In every case, excellent correlation coefficients have been calculat…

Substituent effects on the gas-phase basicities of4-x-acetophanes and 4-x-2,6-dimethylacetophenones: a comparison with solution basicities

Abstract The behaviour towards gas-phase protonation of a series of 2,6-dimethyl-4-X-acetophenones DM1 exhibits strong similarities with that of the corresponding 4-X-acetophenones 1 . A comparison with previous basicity data in solution and AM1 semiempirical calculations suggest that the X-dependent rotation of the probe group out of the plane of the aromatic ring caused by the two ortho methyls is of minor importance in influencing the substituent effect on the gas-phase basicity of DM1 ; on the contrary, it could heavily affect the solvatability and thus be responsible for the observed behaviour of DM1 in strongly acidic media.
