Abstract
The kinetics of acid deuterium exchange in benzazoles carrying electron-donor substituents in the 5-, 6-, or 7-positions have been studied. Mass spectrometric studies have shown that exchange in 5-methoxy-1, 2-dimethylbenzimidazole takes place exclusively at one position in the benzene ring, in 5-chloro-, 7-chloro-,5-methoxy-2-methylbenzothiazole and 6-methoxy-2-methylbenzoxazole simultaneously in two positions, and in 6-methoxy-2-methylbenzothiazole the hydrogen at all three possible positions is exchangeable. Using quantum chemical reactivity indices (CNDO/2) in dynamic and state approximations, the orientational features of the reaction have been ascertained. The lack of agreement between the reactivities of the most reactive sites to exchange in heteroaromatic bicycles of similar structure and electrophilic localization energies is explained by differences in the energy profile of the reaction.
