Notes:
Nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzoic anhydrides, in which one of the rings is substituted, with anilines were investigated in methanol. The product-formation step coincides with the rate-limiting step so that the two rate constants, kXZ and kXZ, for the competitive reaction pathways can be dissected. The two cross-interaction constants, ρXY and ρXY, especially an unusually large magnitude of the latter, indicate that the reaction proceeds by a frontside SN2 attack on either one of the caronyl carbon with a strong interaction between the nucleophile (X) and the leaving group (Z). The mechanism is also supposed by the trends in the activation parameters.
