A protocol for the isothiourea-catalysed transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated para-nitrophenyl esters using Hantzsch ester has been developed. Good to excellent yields are observed using α,β-unsaturated aryl esters bearing electron-withdrawing β-subs

Second-order rate constants (kN) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the nucleophilic displacement reactions of 4-nitrophenyl X-substituted-cinnamates (4a-4e) and Y-substituted-phenyl cinnamates (5a-5e) with Z-substituted-phenoxide anions in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 ±0.1 °C. The Hammett plot for the reactions of 4a-4e with 4-chlorophenoxide (4-ClPhO.) consists of two intersecting straight lines, which might be taken as a change in the rate-determining step (RDS). However, it has been concluded that the nonlinear Hammett plot is not due to a change in the RDS but is caused by stabilization of the ground state of substrates possessing an electron-withdrawing group in the cinnamoyl moiety through resonance interactions, since the Yukawa-Tsuno plot exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ρX = 0.89 and r = 0.58. The Bronsted-type plot for the reactions of 4-nitrophenyl cinnamate (4c) with Z-substituted-phenoxides is linear with βnuc = 0.76. The Bronsted-type plot for the reactions of Y-substituted-phenyl cinnamates (5a-5d) with 4-chlorophenoxides (4-ClPhO.) is also linear with βlg =.0.72. The Hammett plot correlated with σ-. constants for the reactions of 5a-5d results in a much better linear correlation than that correlated with σo constants, indicating that a partial negative charge develops on the O atom of the leaving aryloxide. Thus, the reactions have been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism.
