Solvolyses of 2-phenylethyl benzenesulfonates have been studied in methanol-water mixtures. Cross interaction constants, $\rho_{YZ}$, between substituents Y in the substrate and Z in the leaving group indicated somewhat closer distance between the two substituents than expected for the reaction system, which supported the involvment of phenyl group assisted pathway in the solvolysis. A smaller magnitude of $\rho_{YZ}$for MeOH was interpreted as the enhencement of solvent assisted pathway since MeOH is more nucleophilic than $H_2O$. Other selectivity parameters, Winstein coefficient m, Hammett's $\rho_Y^{+_Y}$ and $\rho_Z$, as well as activation parameters supported the participation of aryl assisted and aryl unassisted pathways in the $S_{N^2}$ process of the solvolysis reaction.

Primary and secondary ${\alpha}$-deuterium kinetic isotope effects are determined with deuterated aniline nucleophiles in the nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl benzenesulfonates and 1-phenylethyl benzenesulfonates in acetonitrile at 30.0^{\circ}C. The $k_H/k_D$ values support our previous conclusions regarding the transition state structures proposed for the two reactions based on the cross-interaction constants ${\rho}_{ij}$; the former is a typical $S_N2$ reaction whereas in the latter the four-center transition state may be involved.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of dibutyl chlorophosphate (3) with substituted anilines ($XC_6H_4NH_2$) and deuterated anilines ($XC_6H_4ND_2$) are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at $55.0^{\circ}C$. The obtained deuterium kinetic isotope effects (DKIEs; kH/kD) are secondary inverse ($k_H/k_D$ = 0.86-0.97) with the strongly basic anilines while primary normal ($k_H/k_D$ = 1.04-1.10) with the weakly basic anilines. The DKIEs, steric effects of the two ligands, activation parameters, cross-interaction constants, variation trends of the kH/kD values with X, and mechanism are discussed for the anilinolyses of the nine ($R_1O$)($R_2O$)P(=O)Cl-type chlorophosphates. A concerted mechanism is proposed with a backside nucleophilic attack transition state for the strongly basic anilines and with a frontside attack involving a hydrogen-bonded four-center-type transition state for the weakly basic anilines on the basis of the magnitudes, secondary inverse and primary normal, and variation trends of the $k_H/k_D$ values with X.

The kinetics of reactions between Z-aryl thiophene-2-carbodithioates and X-pyridines in acetonitrile at 60.0 $^{\circ}C$ have been investigated. The Bronsted plots obtained for the pyridinolysis of aryl thiophene-2-carbodithioates are curved, with the center of curvature at $pK_a$ ~ 5.2 ($pK_a^{\circ}$). The Bronsted plots for these nucleophilic reactions show a change in slope from a large ( ${\beta}_X{\cong}$0.78-0.87) to a small ( ${\beta}_X{\cong}$0.33-0.35) value, which can be attributed to a change in the rate-determining step from breakdown to formation of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate in the reaction path as the basicity of the pyridine nucleophile increases. A clear-cut change in the crossinteraction constants, ${\rho}_{XZ}$, from +0.92 to -0.23 supports the proposed mechanistic change. The breakpoint at $pK_a$ = 5.2 for R = thiophene ring in the present work is in agreement with those for the pyridinolysis of R = Me and 2-furyl, and attests to the insignificant effects of acyl group, R, on the breakpoint.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-aryl methyl (8) and Y-aryl propyl (10) chlorothiophosphates with X-pyridines are studied kinetically in acetonitrile at $35.0^{\circ}C$. The Hammett and Bronsted plots with X in the nucleophiles for both substrates exhibit biphasic concave upwards with a break region between X = 3-Me and H. The obtained values of the cross-interaction constants (${\rho}_{XY}$) are negative with 8 while positive with 10 despite the same free energy correlations with X for both substrates. A stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting bond formation is proposed with 8, whereas a stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting leaving group departure from the intermediate is proposed with 10 based on the sign of ${\rho}_{XY}$, negative and positive with 8 and 10, respectively. A frontside nucleophilic attack is proposed with strongly basic pyridines based on the considerably great magnitudes of ${\rho}_X$ and ${\beta}_X$ values while a backside attack is proposed with weakly basic pyridines based on the relatively small magnitudes of ${\rho}_X$ and ${\beta}_X$ for both substrates.

Kinetic studies are conducted for the reactions of Y-benzoyl, Y-benzenesulfonyl and Y-benzyl halides with X-anilines in acetonitrile, and the transition state (TS) structures and their variations with substituents X and Y are discussed. The magnitude of the cross-interaction constants, $\rho$xy, is the largest and the inverse secondary kinetic isotope effect (SKIE), $k_H/k_D$ < 1.0, with deuterated aniline nucleophiles is the smallest for benzoyl fluoride reflecting the tightest TS for this compound. The SKIEs for sulfonyl halides are relatively large due to a relatively large, diffuse nature of the reaction center, S, causing weaker steric hindrance to the vibrations of the two N-H(D) bonds. For benzoyl and sulfonyl halides, the trends in $k_H/k_D$ and $Ir_XI$ variations with $\sigma$Y contradict each other, which is rationalized by the negative charge accumulation on the reaction center, CO and SO$_2$, causing inefficient transfer for the substrate with an electron donating substituent.

Nucleophilic addition reaction of benzenethiols (PhSH) to 1-(2-nitrovinyl) benzenes ($\beta$ NS) in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) has been studied in acetonitrile at 25 ${^{\circ}C}$. The rate is first order with respect to [PhSH], [TEA] and [$\beta$ NS]. The reaction is found to proceed with the formation of ion-pair between benzenethiol and TEA. A suitable mechanism with the formation of an adduct between ion-pair and substrate in a slow step followed by its rearrangement to 1,2-addition product in a fast step has been proposed and corresponding rate law derived. From the rate law, the rate constants for the interaction between ion-pair and $\beta$NS have been evaluated. Interestingly, in both para-substituted substrates and benzenethiols the rate increases with the electron-withdrawing power of the substituents. The positive sign of $\rho_x$ in benzenethiols has been explained. The magnitude of cross-interaction constant, $\rho_{xy}$ is small (0.08). The magnitude of the Hammett $\rho_x$ values is higher than that of the Bronsted, $\beta_x$ values for benzenethiols. The kinetic isotope effect, $k_H/k_D$, is found to be greater than unity. A suitable transition state with simultaneous formation of $C_\beta$ -H and $B_\alpha$ -S bonds involving the ion-pair and $\beta$NS in a single concerted step has been proposed to account for these observations.

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-aryl ethyl chlorothiophosphates with X-pyridines are studied kinetically in acetonitrile at $55.0^{\circ}C$. The Hammett and Bronsted plots for substituent X variations in the nucleophiles exhibit biphasic concave upwards with a break point at X = 3-Me. The substituents of X = 4-CN and 4-Ac show great positive deviations from both the Hammett and Bronsted plots. The Hammett plots for substituent Y variations in the substrates exhibit biphasic concave upwards with a minimum point at Y = H. The obtained values of the cross-interaction constants (${\rho}_{XY}$) are all in spite of the biphasic free energy correlations for both substituent X and Y variations, since the ${\rho}_X$values with both the strongly and weakly basic pyridines are almost constant. A stepwise mechanism with a rate-limiting leaving group departure from the intermediate is proposed where the distance between X and Y does not vary from the intermediate to the second transition state. A frontside attack is proposed with the strongly basic pyridines based on the considerably great magnitudes of ${\rho}_X$ and ${\beta}_X$ values and a backside attack is proposed with the weakly basic pyridines based on the relatively small magnitudes of ${\rho}_X$ and ${\beta}_X$. The positive deviations of the two strong ${\pi}$-acceptor parasubstituents, X = 4-Ac and 4-CN, from both the Hammett and Bronsted plots are rationalized by the great extents of bond formation and breaking.
