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.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction of Y-benzyl bromide with X-pyridines are investigated in DMSO at 45.0℃. Biphasic rate dependence is observed on varying the substituents in the substrate (Y) as well as in the nucleophile (X). The two well-defined straight lines in the Hammett (ρy) and Bronsted ( βx) plots are interpreted to indicate the changes in transition-state structure, a decrease in bond cleavage as the substituent on the substrate is changed from electron-donors ( ρy < 0) to electron-acceptors ( ρy > 0), and an increase in the extent of bond formation with the corresponding changes of the substituent on the pyridine. A Jencks' type analysis of separate polar (ρ) and resonance (ρr) effects can also be accounted for by the change of the transition-state structure, not by the variable combination of polar and resonance effects.

Solvolyses of α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride in H₂O, D₂O, CH₃OD, 50% D₂O-CH₃OD, and in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, dioxane, ethanol and methanol are investigated at 25.0℃. The Grunwald-Winstein plots of first-order rate constants for α-methoxy- α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride with $Y_{Cl}$ show a dispersion phenomenon. Solvent nucleophilicity N has been shown to give considerable im-provement when it is added as an 1N term to the original Grunwald-Winstein for the solvolyses of α-methoxy- α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride. The dispersions in the Grunwald-Winstein correlations in the present studies are caused by solvent nucleophilicity. The magnitude of l and m values associated with a change of solvent composition predicts the associative $S_N2$ transition state. The kinetic solvent isotope effects determined in deuterated water and methanol are consistent with the proposed mechanism of the general base catalyzed associative $S_N2$ or $S_AN$ mechanism for the of α-methoxy- α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetyl chloride.

A series of new NLO-active poly(4-nitrophenylallylamine) derivatives was synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of several substituted 4-nitrohalobenzenes and poly(allylamine hydrochloride). All polymers obtained were amorphous and their glass transition temperatures (Tg) were observed around 148-160 ℃. For each of these polymers, their specific Tg values were dependent on characteristic electronic structures. UV-visible absorption spectra showed maximum absorption intensity at 355-393 nm for π-π* transition of alkylaminonitrophenyl groups. The χ(2)value of poly(4-nitrophenylallylamine), as determined by the second harmonic generation at 1064 nm, for a thin polymer film poled at an elevated temperature, was 1.4x10-8esu. The third-order NLO properties of poly(4-nitrophenylallylamine) derivatives were evaluated through measurement of degenerate four-wave mixing technique and χ(3) coefficient in the range of 2.7~3.2x10-12 esu at 602 nm was found with 400 fs laser pulses.

Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of substituted phenyl acetates with butane-2,3-dione monoximate and p-chlorophenoxide anions in MeCN-H$_2$O mixtures of varying compositions. The reaction rate, unexpectedly, decreased remarkably upon initial additions of MeCN to H$_2$O up to 30-40 mole ${\%}$ MeCN, and followed by a gradual increase upon further additions of MeCN. The change in solvent composition also influenced the magnitude of the ${\alpha}$-effect, i.e., the ${\alpha}$-effect increased as the mole ${\%}$ MeCN increased. The solvent dependent ${\alpha}$-effect for the present system appears to indicate that the differential solvation between the ${\alpha}$-effect nucleophile and the corresponding normal nucleophile is not solely responsible but the difference in the transition-state stabilization is also responsible for the ${\alpha}$ -effect in organic solvent-rich region.

A new methodology for construction of dihydro-1,4-dioxin skeleton was described. Introduction of thio group at the ${\alpha}-position$ of 8 followed by chlorination gave 11, which was to prevent an enolization as well as to promote the facile nucleophilic substitution reaction of ethylene glycol giving 16 in equilibrium with cyclic ether 19. Removal of thio group of 19 and dehydration in the presence of an acid catalyst gave dihydro-1,4-dioxin 21. In case of electron withdrawing trifluoromethyl group is subsituted in C-2, 18 was converted to the corresponding dihydro-1,4-dioxin 20 by the halogenation of hydroxy followed by treatment of triethylamine.

Kinetic studies of nucleophilic substitution reactions of para-substituted benzylchlorides with anilines were conducted in a range of MeOH-MeCN mixtures at $55.1^{\circ}C$. Hammett ${\rho}_C$, ${\rho}_N$ values and Bronsted ${\beta}$ values were determined, in other to examine the transition state variations caused by changes in nucleophiles, substituents and solvents properties (${\pi}^{\ast}$ and ${\alpha}$). Applications of potential energy surface (PES) and quantum mechanical (QM) models of transitheion state characterization lead us to conclude that the reaction proceeds via the dissociative $S_N2$ mechanism.

Immobilization method of lariat azacrown ethers, containing hydroxyl group in the side arm of crown ring, on the polymer matrix and the phase-transfer catalytic activity of thus obtained immobilized lariat azacrown ethers were studied. Polystyrene resins with crown ether structures and hydroxyl groups adjacent to the macrorings were prepared by the reaction of crosslinked polystyrene resins containing epoxy groups with monoaza-15-crown-5 or monoaza-18-crown-6. Microporous crosslinked polystyrene resins containing epoxy group for the syntheses of these immobilized lariat crown catalysts were prepared by suspension polymerization of styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB 2%) and vinylbenzylglycidyl ether. The immobilized lariat catalysts with 10-20% ring substitution exhibited maximal activity for the halogen exchange reactions of 1-bromooctane with aqueous KI or NaI under triphase heterogeneous conditions. Immobilized catalyst exhibited higher activity than corresponding catalyst without the hydroxyl group and this result was suggested that the active site have a structure in which the $K^+$ ion was bound by the cooperative coordination of the crown ring donors and the hydroxyl group in the side arm.

The surface enhanced Raman scatterings of Zn(Ⅱ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrins were studied in silver sol. Zn(Ⅱ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrin was found to be adsorbed on silver surface via flat-on geometry with some inhomogeneous distribution in the orientation of pyridyl groups. Both the selective enhancement of Raman modes depending on the mode character and the theoretical arguments of SERS are utilized to support the above conclusion. The surface induced substitution reaction of Mn(Ⅲ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrin chloride to Ag(Ⅱ) tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridyl) porphyrin was detected via surface enhanced Raman spectrum.

Cryptand[2,2] was grafted to low crosslinked styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer by substitution reaction with chloromethylated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. This resin was stable in concentrated acid and base, and showed a good resistance to heat. The pH, time, and concentration dependence of the adsorption of metal ions by this resin were studied. Studies on the chromatographic separation of lanthanides, $Cu^{2+}$ and $UO_2^{2+_2}$ were also carried out with various eluents. These studies demonstrate that this resin has the applicability to the preconcentration and separation of metal ions.
