Chlorine isotopic exchange reactions of substituted cinnamyl chlorides and 3-aryl-2-propynyl chlorides with tetraethylammonium chloride-36Cl were studied in acetonitrile. In both cases, the electron-donating groups accelerated the reaction. An acceptable linear Hammett relationship was found for the propynyl chlorides. Cinnamyl chlorides gave a linear relationship for the m-substituted compounds superposed by a concaved U-shaped relationship of p-substituted compounds. Both classes of compounds showed 102−3 times of rate enhancement, compared with 2-arylethyl chlorides in the similar isotopic exchange reaction. Features of these SN2 reactions are discussed.
