Twelve substituted 1-(2-aryloxycarbonylphenyl)-3-phenyltriazenes have been synthetized and kinetics of their reactions have been measured in 52.1percent (by mass) aqueous methanol at pH 3 to 11.Plots of kobs vs pH show three regions: noncatalyzed cyclization (pH 4 to 7), acid-catalyzed splitting of the triazene chain, and base-catalyzed cyclization.The non-catalyzed cyclization exhibits a kinetic isotope effect, the reaction constant Q = 2.69 (?p-), and β1g = 1.02, which indicates a mechanism of E1cB type with intramolecular proton transfer and a transient formation of a ketene intermediate.The base-catalyzed cyclization, on the other hand, exhibits the reaction constant Q = 1.05 (?p-), β1g = 0.4, and distinct steric effects, which indicates a cyclization by BAc2 mechanism with rate-limiting formation of the tetrahedral intermediate.
