Title	A Mechanistic Study on the Nucleophilic Addition Reactions of Benzylamines to the Activated Olefins

Keywords	Nucleophilic addition reaction, Single-step process, Cross-interaction constant, Kinetic isotope effects, Four-center cyclic transition state
Abstract	Kinetic studies of the additions of benzylamines to a noncyclic dicarbonyl group activated olefin, methyl α- acetyl-β -phenylacrylates (MAP), in acetonitrile at 30.0 oC are reported. The rates are lower than those for the cyclic dicarbonyl group activated olefins. The addition occurs in a single step with concurrent formation of the C_α-N and C_β-H bonds through a four-center hydrogen bonded transition state. The kinetic isotope effects (k_H/k_D > 1.0) measured with deuterated benzylamines (XC₆H₄CH₂ND₂) increase with a stronger electron acceptor substituent (δσ X > 0) which is the same trend as those found for other dicarbonyl group activated series (1-4). The sign and magnitude of the cross-interaction constant, ρ_XY, is comparable to those for the normal bond formation processes in the S_N2 and addition reactions. The relatively low ΔH≠ and large negative ΔS≠ values are also consistent with the mechanism proposed.
