Abstract
Nitrile-forming eliminations from (E)-2,4,6-(NO2)3C6H2CH=NOC6H4-2-X-4-NO2 (1) promoted by R3NH/ R3NH+ in 70 mol % MeCN(aq) have been studied kinetically. When X = NO2, the reactions exhibited secondorder kinetics as well as Brönsted β = 0.63 and |βlg| = 0.34-0.46, and an E2 mechanism is evident. As the leaving group was made poorer (X = H, Cl, and CF3), Brönsted β value increased from 0.63 to 0.85-0.89 without much change in the |βlg| value E2, indicating that structure of the transition state changed to an E1cb-like with extensive Cβ-H bond cleavage, significant negative charge development at the β-carbon, and limited Cα-OAr bond cleavage.
