Effects of solvent and structure on the reactivity of 6-substituted nicotinic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in aprotic solvents

The rate constants for the reactions of diazodiphenylmethane (DDM) with 6-substituted nicotinic acids in aprotic solvents at 30?C were determined. The obtained second order rate constants in aprotic solvents, together with literature data for benzoic and nicotinic acids in protic solvents, were used for the calculation of solvent effects, employing the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic equation (linear solvation energy relationship - LSER) in the form: log k = log k0 + + s?*+ a? + b?. The correlations of the kinetic data were performed by means of multiple linear regression analysis taking appropriate solvent parameters. The sign of the equation coefficients (s, a and b) were in agreement with the postulated reaction mechanism, and the mode of the solvent influences on the reaction rate is discussed based on the correlation results. A similar contribution of the non-specific solvent effect and electrophilic solvation was observed for all acids, while the highest contribution of nucleophilic solvation was influenced by their high acidity. Correlation analysis of the rate data with substituent ?p parameters in an appropriate solvent using the Hammett equation was also performed. The substituent effect on the acid reactivity was higher in aprotic solvents of higher dipolarity/polarizability. The mode of the transmission of the substituent effect is discussed in light of the contribution of solute-solvent interaction on the acid reactivity.

Substituent and structural effects on the kinetics of the reaction of N-(substituted phenylmethylene)-m- and -p-aminobenzoic acids with diazodiphenylmethane

The rate constants for the reaction of twenty-two N-(substituted phenylmethylene)- m- and -p-aminobenzoic acids with diazodiphenylmethane were determined in absolute ethanol at 30 ?C. The effects of substituents on the reactivity of the investigated compounds were interpreted by correlation of the rate constants with LFER equations. The results of quantum mechanical calculations of the molecular structure together with experimental results gave a better insight into the effects of structure on the transmission of electronic effects of the substituents. New ? constants for substituted benzylideneamino group were calculated.

A linear solvation energy relationship study for the reactivity of 2-substituted cyclohex-1-enecarboxylic and 2-substituted benzoic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in aprotic and protic solvents

The rate constants for the reaction of 2-substituted cyclohex-1-enecarboxylic acids and the corresponding 2-substituted benzoic acids with diazodiphenylmethane were determined in various aprotic solvents at 30 ?C. In order to explain the kinetic results through solvent effects, the second order rate constants of the reaction of the examined acids were correlated using the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic equation. The correlations of the kinetic data were carried out by means of multiple linear regression analysis and the solvent effects on the reaction rates were analyzed in terms of the contributions of the initial and transition state. The signs of the equation coefficients support the proposed reaction mechanism. The quantitative relationship between the molecular structure and the chemical reactivity is discussed, as well as the effect of geometry on the reactivity of the examined molecules.

Investigation of the reactivity of 4-pyrimidinecarboxylic, 6-hydroxy-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic and 5-hydroxyorotic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in various alcohols: Part III

Rate constants for the reaction of diazodiphenylmethane (DDM) with 4-pyrimidinecarboxylic, 6-hydroxy-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic and 5-hydroxyorotic acids were determined in twelve protic solvents at 30 ?C using the well known UV-spectrophotometric method. The second order rate contants for the examined acids were correlated using the appropriate solvent parameters by the equation log k = log k0 + af(e) + bs * + cngH were f(e) is the Kirkwood function of relative permittivity [(e-l)/(2e + 1 )], s * is the Taft polar constant for the alkyl group R in the alcohol ROH, and nyH is themumber of hydrogen atoms in the (-position in the alcohol. The results obtained for the investigated acids were compared with the corresponding results for benzoic, 2- and 3-hydroxybenzoic acids and the influence of the structure of the investigated acids on the reactivity in hydroxylic solvents is discussed. It was also possible to evaluate and distinguish the specific and non-specific solvent effects and their influence on the reaction rate.

Investigations of the reactivity of pyridine carboxylic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in protic and aprotic solvents: Part II: Pyridine mono-carboxylic acid N-oxides

The rate constants for the reaction of three isomeric pyridine mono-carbocylic acid N-oxides with diazodiphenylmethane were determined at 30 ?C in thirty two protic and aprotic solvents by the well known UV spectrophotometric method. The rate constants are generally higher than for pyridine mono-carboxylic acids in a similar range of solvents, except for picolinic acid N-oxide, and also higher in protic than in aprotic solvents. The determined rate constants were correlated with solvent parameters using the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic equation bymeans of multiple regression analysis. The sign of the equation coefficients were in agreement with the postulated reaction mechanism. The mode of the influences of the solvent is discussed on the basis of the correlation coefficients, taking into account the specific structures of the pyridine mono-carboxylic acid N-oxides.

The signs of the equation coefficients were in agreement with the postulated reaction mechanism. The mode of the influence of the solvent on the reaction rate in all the investigated acids are discussed on the basis of the correlation results.

The rate constants of 2-substituted nicotinic acids in reaction with diazodiphenylmethane (DDM) in eight alcohols at 30 ?C have been determined. In order to explain the obtained results through solvent effects, the second order reaction rate constants (k) of the examined acids were correlated using the appropriate solvent parameters by the equation: logk=logk0 af(?) + b?* + cn?H where f(?) is the measure of solvent ability as a dielectric to stabilize the separation of opposite charges in the activated complex, ?* is the measure of solvent ability to stabilize proton in the initial state and n?H represents the ability of protic solvents to form hydrogen bond with the negative end of the ion-pair intermediate. These constants were correlated also by using solvatochromic equation of the form logk=logk0 + s?* + a? + b? where ?* is the measure of the solvent polarity, ? represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond donor acidities (HBD) and ? represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond acceptor basicities (HBA). The correlations of the kinetic data were carried out by means of multiple linear regression analysis. The results obtained for 2-substituted nicotinic acids were compared with the results for ortho-substituted benzoic acid under the same experimental conditions.

The rate constants for the reaction of diazodiphenylmethane with 1-cyclopentenecarboxylic, 1-cycloheptenecarboxylic, cyclopent-1-enylacetic and cyclohept-1-enylacetic acids were determined in eight alcohols at 30 ?C using the appropriate UV-spectroscopic method. In order to explain the kinetic results through solvent effects, the second order rate constants of the examined acids were correlated using a total solvatochromic equation, of the form: log k = A0+ s?*+a??+ b?, where ?* is a measure of the solvent polarity, ??represents the scale of solvent hydrogen bond acceptor basicities and ? represents the scale of solvent hydrogen bond donor acidities. The correlations of the kinetic data were carried out by means of multiple linear regression analysis. The opposite sings of the electrophilic and the nucleophilic parameters are in agreement with the well-known reaction mechanism. The results presented in this paper were compared with the kinetic data for 1-cyclohexenecarboxylic and cyclohex-1-enylacetic acids obtained under the same experimental conditions.
