Nucleophilic Reactivities of Bis-Acceptor-Substituted Benzyl Anions

The kinetics of the reactions of bis-acceptor-substituted benzyl anions (PhCXY–, X,Y = CN, CO2Et, COPh, SO2Ph) with benzhydrylium ions and quinone methides (reference electrophiles) have been determined in dimethyl sulfoxide solution at 20 °C. The reactions follow second-order kinetics, first order with respect to the electrophile and first order with respect to the carbanion. The addition of 18-crown-6 ether, which efficiently coordinates to the anions' counter ions K+, did not affect the kinetics, which indicates that the measured rate constants refer to the reactivities of the nonpaired carbanions. Comparison with the reactivities of the structurally analogous secondary carbanions HCXY– shows that replacement of H at the carbanionic center by Ph reduces the nucleophilic reactivities towards a reference benzhydrylium ion by factors in the range of only 1.2 (X,Y = SO2Ph) to 6 (X,Y = CO2Et). The plots of lg k2 versus the electrophilicity parameters E of the reference electrophiles are linear, thereby indicating that the correlation lg k2(20 °C) = sN(E + N), which characterizes nucleophiles by the two solvent-dependent parameters sN and N and electrophiles by the parameter E, is applicable. In this way, it becomes possible to integrate these carbanions into our comprehensive nucleophilicity scale, which provides a direct comparison of the nucleophilic reactivities of different families of compounds.

REACTIVITY OF PHENYLIODONIUM BIS(ARYLSULPHONYL)METHYLIDES TOWARDS ALKENES AND ALKYNES: CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF 9-PHENYLSULPHONYL-1,2,3,4,4a,9a-HEXAHYDRO-1,4-METHANOFLUORENE

Thermal or photochemical reactions of phenyliodonium bis(arylsulphonyl)methylides with alkenes lead normally to gem-(arylsulphonyl)cyclopropanes.Norbornene and trans-stilbene, however, afford 1-(phenylsulphonyl)indane derivatives.The crystal structure of the title compound /= 3.0>> confirmed the identity of the product with norbornene.Diarylacetylenes give 1-(arylsulphonyl)indenes.Thermal decomposition of the ylides involves a new rearrangement, with formation of aryl arenethiosulphonates.
