Abstract

The steric effect of o-methyl groups is much more pronounced for N-alkylation with Mel, Etl, and PriI or aza-aromatic compounds than for S-alkylation of heterocyclic thiones. This is explained by comparison of van der Waals interactions in the transition states of chosen homomorphic systems; an angular transition state is shown to conform with the measured kinetic constants.
