Abstract
Kinetic studies of the reactions of benzyl benzenesulfonates with benzylamines in methanol and acetonitrile have been carried out. The reaction was found to proceed by a dissociative SN2 in MeCN but by an associative SN2 mechanism in MeOH. The transition state was rather loose in MeCN whereas it was tight in MeOH, in contrast to a tighter TS in MeCN for the corresponding reactions with aniline. The reaction of benzylamine in MeOH was characteristic of the highly solvated nucleophile, benzylamine, compared to the normal reaction in MeCN.
