Abstract
The reaction rates of 4-X-2,6-dinitrochlorobenzenes (X = NO2, CN, CF3) with Y-substituted benzylamines (Y = p-OCH3, p-CH3, H, p-Cl) in MeOH-MeCN mixtures were measured by conductometry at 25 oC. It was observed that the rate constant increased in the order of X = NO2 > CN > CF3 and in the order of Y = p-OCH3 > p-CH3 > H > p-Cl. When the solvent composition was varied, the rate constant increased in the order of 100% MeOH < 50% (v/v) MeOH-MeCN < 100% MeCN. These results may be ascribed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the alcoholic hydrogen and nitrogen of benzylamines in groud state (GS). We conclude that the reaction takes place via SNAr base on the transition state parameters ρX, ρY, βnuc, and solvent effects.
