The reactions in water of 21 primary and secondary amines with phthalic and succinic anhydrides were examined. Each reaction was first order in both anhydride and amine neutral molecule concentrations, and product analysis showed that the amines did not significantly catalyze the hydrolysis reactions of the anhydrides. Plots of the logarithms of the aminolysis rate constants against the pAfa values of the amine cations were not linear and revealed that the reactions with weaklybasic amines were considerably more sensitive to the basicity of the amine than were the reactions with the strong bases. The results suggest that a considerable amount of NC bond formation has occurred in the rate-determining transition state for reactions with the weakly basic amines and that very little rate facilitation is brought about by hydrophobic bonding between reactants or in the transition state. This behavior thus contrasts markedly with the structure-reactivity relationships exhibited by strongly basic amines which were discussed in part I of this series.In part I1 of this series, it was shown that the rates of aminolysis of phthalic anhydrideby strongly basic secondary amines were relatively insensitive to the basicity of the amine but were significantly influenced by the hydrophobic and steric properties of the amine. The present study is an extension of this work and was undertaken to ascertain the influence of these factors on the aminolyses of phthalic and succinic anhydrides by weakly basic primary and secondary amines.
