Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanistic Studies of the Solvolyses of Carbamoyl Chlorides and Related Reactions.

TL;DR: The unsubstituted carbamoyl chloride (H2NCOCl) is remarkably stable, and recommended synthetic procedures require it to survive reaction temperatures in the 300–400 °C range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extended Grunwald-Winstein analysis - LFER used to gauge solvent effects in p-nitrophenyl chloroformate solvolysis.

TL;DR: The observations incorporating new kinetic data in several fluoroalcohol-containing mixtures, are rationalized in terms of the reaction being sensitive to substituent effects and the mechanism of reaction involving the addition step of an addition-elimination (association-dissociation) pathway being rate-determining.
Journal ArticleDOI

Considerably improved Grunwald–Winstein correlatians for solvolyses of several secondary and tertiary benzylic derivatives upon inclusion of a term governed by the aromatic ring parameter (I)

TL;DR: In this article, Grunwald-Winstein treatments of the specific rates of solvolysis of a series of secondary and tertiary benzylic toluene-p-sulfonates, p-nitrobenzoates, chlorides and bromides exhibit a considerably improved correlation coefficient and a higher F-test value on incorporation of an hI term, where h is the sensitivity towards changes in the recently developed aromatic ring parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concerted Solvent Processes for Common Sulfonyl Chloride Precursors used in the Synthesis of Sulfonamide-based Drugs

TL;DR: With a methyl, isopropyl, benzyl, aromatic or heteroaromatic group as the R group of RSO2Cl, a concerted SN2 mechanism is proposed for the solvolysis.
