[摘要]：Measurements of rate constants and substituent effects for three important elementary steps of proton-transfer reactions of phenylnitromethane were reported. The Hammett rho values for the deprotonation of ArCH2NO2 with OH- protonation of ArCH=NO2- with H2O, and protonation of ArCH=NO2- with HCl were determined in aqueous MeOH at 25 degrees C. Comparison of these experimentally observed rho values with those calculated at B3LYP/6-31G* revealed that aci-nitro species (ArCH=NO2H), which is formed on the O-protonation of ArCH=NO2-, does not lie on the main route of the proton-transfer reaction. Analysis of the Bronsted plot implies that the proton-transfer reaction of most XC6H4CH2NO2 exhibits nitroalkane anomaly, but not for p-NO2C6H4CH2NO2, and that the transition state charge imbalance is an origin of anomaly. |
