Rate values calculated from the rising concentrations of cyclization products 7-9 were lower indicating the formation of stable intermediates. It is assumed that these are protonated aziridine derivatives 4-6, since compounds 4 and 5 were identified as intermediates by TLC and GLC. The formation rate for the model compound 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone imine was found to be only 5.8 x 10-7 s-1 at 125 ¡ãC, which eliminates imine (C=NH) derivatives of 1-3 as possible intermediates. The ammonolysis rates of 3-phenylpropylbromide between 110 ¡ãc and 125 ¡ãc, were found to range from 1.5 X 10-4 to 4.16 X 10-£¿ s¡¤1£¿ These values revealed that the ~-participation of the N(2)-atom, being a relatively rapid equilibrium, does not enhance the overall cyclization rate. The following parameters characterize the overall cyclization process; l'i H=I= = 50.0 ¡À 4.0 kJ mo1-1 and l'i S=I= = -156 ¡À 5 J mo1-1 K-1 for 1, /'i H=I= = 89.9 ¡À.4.0 kJ moP K 1 for 2, l'i H=I= = = 75.3 ¡À 4.0 kJ moi-1 and l'i S=I= = -89 ¡À 4 J moi-1 K' for 3 %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=288875
