Mechanism of the benzidine rearrangement. Kinetic isotope effects and transition states. Evidence for concerted rearrangement

When hydrazobenzene rearranges in acid solution, benzidine and diphenyline are formed. Nitrogen and carbon isotope effects were calculated for concerted and dissociative transition states for the formation of benzidine. These calculations are in excellent agreement with experiment for the concerted...

Zusammenfassung:When hydrazobenzene rearranges in acid solution, benzidine and diphenyline are formed. Nitrogen and carbon isotope effects were calculated for concerted and dissociative transition states for the formation of benzidine. These calculations are in excellent agreement with experiment for the concerted formation of benzidine and suggest that formation of diphenyline is a dissociative process. (DLC)
