Research Abstract |
Quantitative analysis of the return process from ionic intermediates to the starting material in solvolysis plays a decisive role in the investigation of its reaction mechanism. The splitting, in the ^<13>C NMR signals of alkyl sulfonate esters, induced by isotopic oxygen substitution ^<16>O/^<18>O, was utilized to determine quantitatively the extent of ^<18>O scrambling within three oxygens in the sulfonate moiety. Oxygen exchange process (return process) as well as overall solvolysis process was successfully followed by ^<13>C NMR spectroscopy using a small amount of doubly labeled starting tosylate in a sealed NMR tube. In the acetolysis of neophyl tosylate, no ^<18>O-scrambling at the alkoxy oxygen of the starting tosylate was detected at all for whole range of reaction. The acetolysis of 2-(p-OMe-phenyl)ethyl tosyate gave the rearranged tosylates with complete randomization of the three oxygens. The ace- tolyses of 2-phenylpropyl and 2-phenylethyl tosylates also gave the rearranged

tosylates of two signals, accompanying the incomplete oxygen equilibration. The different scrambling behaviors for substituted phenylethyl tosylates, may be attributable to the nature of the ion-pairs. In the acetolysis of 2-phenylethyl tosylate, parallel runs of (1-^*C)-OTs^* and (2-^*C)-OTs^* indicated the equivalence of two methylene carbons for ^<18>O-incorporation from sulfonyl oxygens in the return process. This provides strong evidence that the ^<18>O scrambling occurs only after the formation of symmetrical phenonium-ion species. In the acetolysis of benzyl tosylate, ^<18>O-scrambling was detected, being inconsistent with S_N2 mechanism. The acetolysis of 2-adamantyl tosylate referred to a typical k_c substrate also showed the occurrence of ion-pair return, suggesting the necessity of re-examination of solvolysis theories. It is apparent that the ^<13>C NMR method superior to the mass spectroscopic method can generally be applicable to the investigation of the return process in solvolysis. Less
