Abstract
Kinetic studies of the reactions of O,O-dimethyl Z-S-aryl phosphorothioates with X-benzylamines have been carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide at 85.0 °C. The Hammett (log k2 vs σX) and Brönsted [log k2 vs pKa(X)] plots for substituent X variations in the nucleophiles are discrete with a break region between 4-Me and H, while the Hammett plots (log k2 vs σZ) for substituent Z variations in the leaving groups are linear. The sign of the crossinteraction constant (ρXZ) is positive for both the strongly and weakly basic nucleophiles. Greater magnitude of ρXZ (= 2.54) value is observed with the weakly basic nucleophiles compared to with the strongly basic nucleophiles (ρXZ = 0.17). The deuterium kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD) involving deuterated benzylamines [XC6H4CH2ND2] are primary normal (kH/kD > 1). The proposed mechanism is a stepwise with a rate-limiting leaving group expulsion from the intermediate involving a frontside nucleophilic attack with a hydrogen bonded, four-center-type transition state for both the strongly and weakly basic nucleophiles.
