Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions between triphenylphosphine and benzylic electrophiles have been examined in an ionic liquid to probe interactions with species along the reaction coordinate. Trends in the rate constant were found on both varying the leaving group and the electronic nature of the aromatic ring. In all the cases considered, interactions between the components of the ionic liquid and the transition state were shown to be more significant in determining reaction outcome than previously observed for this class of reaction. This demonstrates the importance of considering interactions of the ionic liquid components with all species along the reaction coordinate when investigating the origin of ionic liquid solvent effects, along with how such effects might be exploited.

To explore the hydrophobic groove subsite within the CB1 cannabinoid receptor we have designed and synthesized a group of tail-substituted anandamide analogs. Our design involves the introduction of aryl or heterocyclic ring as terminal substituents that

Quaternary (arylmethyl)phosphonium salts of the general formula ArCH2-PR3(+)Y(-) (Ar = substituted phenyl or 1-naphthyl; R = phenyl, ferrocenyl, or butyl; Y(-) = BF4(-) or halide) have been photolyzed in acetonitrile or in methanol.Photolysis involved the cleavage of the P-CH2 bond and the products derived from both, the arylmethyl radical and the carbocation, were formed.The proportion of the radical- and carbocation-derived products was determined as a function of substituents in group Ar, of groups R, counterions Y(-), and the solvent.For the nonoxidizable counterion (BF4(-), the proposed mechanism of the reaction involves initial homolysis, followed by the escape of the radical products from a solvent cage, or by the electron transfer from carbon to phosphorus, yielding the corresponding arylmethyl carbocation.The latter can either react with the solvent to form the observed carbocation-derived product or can undergo recombination with the tertiary phosphine formed to yield the starting phosphonium ion.Some indication of the "inverted substituent effect" resulting from the inhibition of single electron transfer from an easily oxidized radical was obtained.For the oxidizable counterions (halides), an additional pathway is suggested, that involves electron transfer from the anion, yielding the arylmethyl radical and the phosphine, thus decreasing the ionic/radical products ratio.
