Abstract	The nucleophilic substitution reactions of (2R,4R,5S)-(+)-2-chloro-3,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1,3,2-oxazaphospholidine 2-sulfide (3) with substituted anilines (XC6H4NH2) and deuterated anilines (XC6H4ND2) are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at 5.0 oC. The anilinolysis rate of 3 involving a cyclic five-membered ring is considerably fast because of small negative value of the entropy of activation (ΔS≠ = –2 cal mol–1 K–1) over considerably unfavorable enthalpy of activation (ΔH≠ = 18.0 kcal mol–1). Great enthalpy and small negative entropy of activation are ascribed to sterically congested transition state (TS) and bulk solvent structure breaking in the TS. A concerted SN2 mechanism with a backside nucleophilic attack is proposed on the basis of the secondary inverse deuterium kinetic isotope effects, kH/kD < 1.
