Abstract: | The chloromethyl derivatives of 16 differently substituted methylenediphenols were synthesized for the first time. To compare their reactivity, the solvolysis in methanol and the animolysis with an excess of p-nitroaniline in dimethyl sulfoxide were studied kinetically at 25°C. The rate constants for the methanolysis do not differ very much, beside of the fact that para-chloromethyl derivatives react about 100 times faster than ortho-chloromethyl derivatives. However, for the aminolysis a large acceleration up to 103 was found for compounds having both hydroxyl groups in ortho-position to the methylene bridge. Obviously, the cleavage of the O? H bond, which occurs in the rate determining step of the aminolysis, is strongly favoured by an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the phenolic hydroxyl groups. |
