Abstract
The kinetics of reactions of 4-substituted benzoyl, cinnamoyl and phenyl isothiocyanates with aliphatic amines and glycine ethyl ester in organic solvents was studied by the stopped-flow and UV spectroscopic methods. The reaction of acyl isothiocyanates with the nucleophilic reagents employed proved to be 103 - 104 times faster than analogous reaction of phenyl isothiocyanates. A linear correlation between logk and σp constants with positive ρ slope was found. The solvent polarity has only a negligible effect on the reaction. UV spectra as well as gas chromatography of the reaction products proved that under the employed experimental conditions N,N'-disubstituted thioureas are the sole reaction products.
