Abstract

A kinetic study is reported for aminolysis of OY-substituted phenyl thionobenzoates (1a− f) and O-4-nitrophenyl X-substituted thionobenzoates (2a− f) in 80 mol% H2O/20 mol% DMSO at 25.0±0.1° C. The reaction proceeds through one or two intermediates (ie, a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate T±and its deprotonated form T−) depending on the basicity difference between the nucleophile and nucleofuge, that is, the reaction proceeds through ...
