Abstract
Catalysis by imidazole and N-methylimidazole buffers of the intramolecular thiolysis of Nn- propyl 2-mercaptomethylbenzamide (forming 2-thiophthalide) has been studied in aqueous solution at 40.0° C, μ= 1.0. Unlike other buffers previously studied, imidazole and N- methylimidazole are able to catalyze, by a general base route, formation of neutral tetrahedral intermediate; this pathway is rate limiting at pH≤ 7.5. At higher pH, the ...
