Pseudofirst-order rate constants (kobsd) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl X-substituted benzenesulfonates 4a-f and Y-substituted phenyl benzenesulfonates 5a-k with EtOK in anhydrous ethanol. Dissection of k obsd into kEtO- and kEtOK (i.e., the second-order rate constants for the reactions with the dissociated EtO - and ion-paired EtOK, respectively) shows that the ion-paired EtOK is more reactive than the dissociated EtO-, indicating that K + ion catalyzes the reaction. The catalytic effect exerted by K + ion (e.g., the kEtOK/kEtO- ratio) decreases linearly as the substituent X in the benzenesulfonyl moiety changes from an electron-donating group (EDG) to an electron-withdrawing group (EWG), but it is independent of the electronic nature of the substituent Y in the leaving group. The reactions have been concluded to proceed through a concerted mechanism from analyses of the kinetic data through linear free energy relationships (e.g., the Bronsted-type, Hammett, and Yukawa-Tsuno plots). K+ ion catalyzes the reactions by increasing the electrophilicity of the reaction center through a cyclic transition state (TS) rather than by increasing the nucleofugality of the leaving group. Activation parameters (e.g., ΔH? and ΔS?) determined from the reactions performed at five different temperatures further support the proposed mechanism and TS structures.

Alkyl 4-nitrophenyl sulfides and sulfoxides undergo a self-photoinduced, singlet oxygen oxidation to produce a variety of products, including sulfonates and carbonyl compounds formed by the oxidative cleavage of the C-S bond of the sulfides and sulfoxides. Structural rearrangements are observed in the resulting carbonyl compounds formed in the oxidative cleavage of the C-S bond in the tert-amyl and 2-phenylethyl sulfides. An overall mechanism is proposed which involves the formation of peroxysulfoxides and peroxysulfones which undergo heterolytic C-S bond cleavage to form ion pairs which recombine to form persulfenates or persulfinates which then undergo photo- and/or thermallyinduced homolytic O-O bond cleavage to form alkoxy and sulfinyl or sulfonyl radicals. The alkoxy radicals undergo β-scission, disproportionation, or recombination with the sulfonyl radical to form the observed products. These C-S oxidative cleavage reactions have only been rarely observed in the earlier studies on the singlet oxygen oxidation studies of dialkyl sulfides, and are attributed, in part, to the presence of the 4-nitro group on the aromatic ring which greatly affects the susceptibility of the sulfur atom of the sulfides and sulfoxides toward nucleophilic attack, and on the reactivity of the peroxysulfoxides and peroxysulfones toward heterolytic cleavage of the O-S bond.
