Use of Broensted Relationship to Detect a Mechanistic Shift for Reaction of 2-(methylthio)ethyl Chloride with Thiophenoxide Anions
Abstract
The linear Brønsted plot for reaction of thiophenoxide ions with 2-(methylthio)ethyl chloride in DMSO changes slope for highly deactivated thiophenoxides, thus suggesting a mechanism change. Attack of a neutral nucleophile on an anionic electrophile may be involved.
