Abstract
Kinetic studies of the reaction of Z-aryl cyclopropanecarboxylates with X-pyridines in acetonitrile at 55.0 oC have been carried out. The reaction proceeds by a stepwise mechanism in which the rate-determining step is the breakdown of the zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate, T±. These mechanistic conclusions are drawn base on (i) the large magnitude of rX and rZ, (ii) the positive sign of rXZ and the larger magnitude of rXZ than normal SN2 processes, (iii) a small positive enthalpy of activation, DH¹, and a large negative, DS¹, and lastly (iv) adherence to the reactivity-selectivity principle (RSP) in all cases.
