Nucleophilic aliphatic

A more detailed classification of chemical reactions will give specifications on the mechanism of a reaction electrophilic aromatic substitution, nucleophilic aliphatic substitution, etc. Details on this mechanism can be included to various degrees thus, nucleophilic aliphatic substitutions can further be classified into Sf l and reactions. However, as reaction conditions such as a change in solvent can shift a mechanism from one type to another, such details are of interest in the discussion of reaction mechanism but less so in reaction classification. 

The attack by a reagent of a molecule might be hampered by the presence of other atoms near the reaction site. The larger these atoms and the more are there, the higher is the geometric restriction, the steric hindrance, on reactivity. Figure 3-6e illustrates this for the attack of a nucleophile on the substrate in a nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reaction. 

Thus, to name just a few examples, a nucleophilic aliphatic substitution such as the reaction of the bromide 3.5 with sodium iodide (Figure 3-21a) can lead to a range of stereochemical products, from a l l mbrture of 3.6 and 3.7 (racemization) to only 3.7 (inversion) depending on the groups a, b, and c that are bonded to the central carbon atom. The ring closure of the 1,3-butadiene, 3.8, to cyclobutene... 

Figure 3-22 shows a nucleophilic aliphatic substitution with cyanide ion as a nucleophile, i his reaction is assumed to proceed according to the S f2 mechanism with an inversion in the stereochemistry at the carbon atom of the reaction center. We have to assign a stereochemical mechanistic factor to this reaction, and, clearly, it is desirable to assign a mechanistic factor of (-i-1) to a reaction with retention of configuration and (-1) to a reaction with inversion of configuration. Thus, we want to calculate the parity of the product, of 3 reaction from the parity of the...

The thenyl chlorides appear to be more reactive in nucleophilic aliphatic substitution than the benzyl analogs. Thus, 2-thenyh chloride gives, in the reaction with sodium cyanide in ethanol, a mixture of ethyl 2-thenyl ether (25% yield) and 2-thenyl cyanide (32% yield), whereas benzyl chloride gives a high 3deld of benzyl cyanide uncontaminated with benzyl ether. When 2-thenyl chloride and benzyl chloride were allowed to compete for a deficiency of sodium amyloxide, 2-thenyl chloride reacted three times faster. In acetone solution 2-thenyl cyanide is obtained smoothl. ... 

In TFE the secondary isotope effect for solvolysis ( h/ d3)s is found to have the value 1.46 and that for Na,Np-rearrangement (kH/kD3)r has the value 1.42 (Szele and Zollinger, 1981). The two isotope effects are similar to the largest values observed in nucleophilic aliphatic substitutions following the DN + AN mechanism (Shiner,... 

Using sulfur trioxide a nucleophilic aliphatic carbon and an aromatic nucleus may be connected by a sulfonyl bridge479 (equation 93). Instead of sulfur trioxide, sulfuric acid or chlorosulfonic acid is utilized mostly. The procedures differ mainly by the manner in which the water is eliminated480 e.g., a mixture of sulfuric acid and trifluoroacetic anhydride was used recently481. Similarly to equation 93,3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzothiophene 1,1-dioxide is available from acetophenone and chlorosulfonic acid482 (equation 94). 

There is a special interest in the role of neighboring group participation by sulfinyl groups in nucleophilic aliphatic substitution. Thus Martin and Uebel218 found that trans-4-chlorothiane-S-oxide 36 is solvolyzed (50% v/v aqueous ethanol, 140 °C) 630 times faster than the cis isomer 37. This was attributed to the intervention of 38 for the former. 

Tandem cyclization from [5+1,6+0] atom fragments took place when 3-isothiocyanatobutyraldehyde was reacted with 2-aminobenzylamine 228 (X = NH) to give 229. Based on literature analogies the first step involves the attack of the most nucleophilic aliphatic amino group onto the isothiocyanate and then onto the aldehyde carbon to form 1-(n-aminobenzyl)-6-hydroxytetrahydropyrimidine-2-thione, which undergoes intramolecular cyclocondensation to 229 (Scheme 38) <2005BMC3185>. 

Fluorinated azetines 1 and 2 are obtained by treatment of perfluoro-2-methylpent-2-ene with heteroaromatic amines (e.g. 6-bromobenzothiazole) and with the more nucleophilic aliphatic amines (e.g. isopropylamine), respectively <00MI99>.

Opening of the six-membered oxazine moiety of some [l,2,3]triazolo[5,l-c][l,4]oxazines was studied by Hoornaert et al. < 1994TL9767, 1996T8813>, and the result is shown in Scheme 9. Ring opening of 75 took place in alcohol or refluxing aqueous acetonitrile for 15 min to yield the [l,2,3]triazole derivative 76 in most cases in high yield. As nucleophiles, aliphatic alcohols, ammonia, or water were used.
