Cytochrome P450 (P450)/$O_2$/NADPH engender electron transfer reaction of N-benzyl-N-substituted benzylamines to yield corresponding radical cation 1 that is simultaneously converted into 2 and 3. Subsequently, expulsion of proton and hydroxylation yielding a-hydroxylamines are followed by formation of benzaldehydes and benzylamines.

The kinetics and mechanism of the reactions of thiophenyl dimethylacetates (TDA) and trimethylacetates (TTA) with benzylamines in acetonitrile are studied. The reactions are first order in both the amine and the substrate. Relatively large values of ${\beta}X(\betanuc$ = 1.1-1.5; TDA and 1.1-1.5; TTA) and ${\beta}Z({\beta}lg$ = -1.8~-2.0; DTA and -1.3~-1.6; TTA) for benzylamines, significantly large kH/kD values (=1.2-1.5; DTA and 1.2-1.5; TTA) involving deuterated benzylamines, and large ${\rho}XZ$ (=0.82; TDA and 1.05; TTA) values are interpreted to indicate stepwise acyl transfer mechanism, but with the hydrogen bonded four center type transition state for benzylamine. The relatively greater magnitudes of ${\rho}XZ$ and the secondary kinetic isotope effects involving deuterated nucleophiles are in line with the proposed mechanism.

Results of kinetic studies on the reactions of benzyl chlorides with anilines and benzylamines are reported. Analyses of the cross interaction constants relevant to the degree of bond formation, ${\rho}_{XY}$ and ${\lambda}_{XY}$, are carried out. The magnitudes of the two parameters indicated that the degree of bond formation in the transition state is the typical of that expected for an $S_N2$ reaction, but the reactions with benzylamines appear to have a slightly less degree of bond formation compared with the reactions with anilines.

The aminolysis reactions of thiophenyl phenylacetates with benzylamines are investigated in acetonitrile at 55.0℃. Relatively large selectivity parameters, βx≒ 1.5, βz = -1.5~-1.8 and βxz = 0.92 together with the valid reactivity-selectivity principle are consistent with stepwise acyl transfer mechanism with rate limiting expulsion of the leaving group, thiophenolate anion, from the tetrahedral intermediate, T ± . The first order kinetics with respect to the benzylamine concentration and the realtively large secondary kinetic isotope effect (kH / kD = 1.2-1.7) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles suggest a four center type transition state in which concurrent leaving group departure and proton transfer are involved.

Kinetic studies are carried out on the reaction of S-phenyl dithiobenzoates with benzylamines in acetonitrile at 30.0 ℃. Small magnitude of ρX (βX) as well as ρZ (βZ) obtained suggests rate-limiting nucleophilic attack of the thiocarbonyl carbon. This is supported by the unusually small magnitude of ρXY and ρYZ, albeit their signs do not agree with those expected. Moreover, the inverse secondary kinetic isotope effects (kH/kD<1.0) involving deuterated benzylamine nucleophiles are also in line with the proposed mechanism.

Kinetic studies of the reactions of O,O-diphenyl Z-S-aryl phosphorothioates with X-benzylamines have been carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide at 55.0 $^{\circ}C$. The Hammett (log $k_2$ vs ${\sigma}_X$) and Bronsted [log $k_2$ vs $pK_a(X)$] plots for substituent X variations in the nucleophiles are biphasic concave downwards with a maximum point at X = H, and the unusual positive ${\rho}_X$ and negative ${\beta}_X$ values are obtained for the strongly basic benzylamines. The sign of the cross-interaction constant (${\rho}_{XZ}$) is negative for both the strongly and weakly basic nucleophiles. Greater magnitude of ${\rho}_{XZ}$ value is observed with the weakly basic nucleophiles (${\rho}_{XZ}$ = -2.35) compared to with the strongly basic nucleophiles (${\rho}_{XZ}$ = -0.03). The deuterium kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$) involving deuterated benzylamines [$XC_6H_4CH_2ND_2$] are primary normal ($k_H/k_D$ > 1). The proposed mechanism is a concerted $S_N2$ involving a frontside nucleophilic attack with a hydrogen bonded, four-center-type transition state for both the strongly and weakly basic nucleophiles. The unusual positive ${\rho}_X$ and negative ${\beta}_X$ values with the strongly basic benzylamines are rationalized by through-space interaction between the ${\pi}$-clouds of the electron-rich phenyl ring of benzylamine and the phenyl ring of the leaving group thiophenoxide.

The aminolyses of anilinothioethers $(C_6H_5N(CH_3)CH_2SC_6H_4Z)$ in acetonitrile with benzylamines $(XC_6H_4CH_2NH_2)$ have been investigated. The rates are much lower in acetonitrile than in methanol (with aniline). The Bronsted ${\beta}_X$ values are similar but ${\beta}_Z$ values are smaller compared to those for the reactions in MeOH with anilines. The large negative ${\rho}_{XZ}({\cong}-0.8$, after correction for fall-off) value is interpreted to indicate a frontside attack $S_N2$ mechanism, in which the two oppositely changed reaction centers in the TS, $-N^{{\delta}+}{\cdots}S^{{\delta}-}-$, are in close vicinity increasing the interaction between nucleophile and leaving group. The inverse secondary kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$ < 1.0) are observed with deuterated benzylamines $(XC_6H_4CH_2ND_2)$.

Kinetic studies of the additions of benzylamines to a noncyclic dicarbonyl group activated olefin, methyl $\alpha$-acetyl-$\beta$ -phenylacrylates (MAP), in acetonitrile at 30.0 ${^{\circ}C}$ are reported. The rates are lower than those for the cyclic dicarbonyl group activated olefins. The addition occurs in a single step with concurrent formation of the $C_\alpha$ -N and $C_\beta$ -H bonds through a four-center hydrogen bonded transition state. The kinetic isotope effects ($k_H/k_D$ > 1.0) measured with deuterated benzylamines ($XC_6H_4CH_2ND_2$) increase with a stronger electron acceptor substituent ($\delta\sigma$ X > 0) which is the same trend as those found for other dicarbonyl group activated series (1-4). The sign and magnitude of the cross-interaction constant, ρXY, is comparable to those for the normal bond formation processes in the $S_N2$ and addition reactions. The relatively low ${\Delta}H^\neq$ and large negative ${\Delta}S^\neq$ values are also consistent with the mechanism proposed.
