To obtain information about the relative importance of neighboring-group effects in thereactions of isologous esters, thiolesters, and selenolesters, a study of the aminolysis and hydrolysis of2-dimethylaminoethyl benzoate, 2-dimethylaminoethyl thiolbenzoate, 2-dimethylaminoethyl selenolbenzoate, benzoyl choline, benzoyl thiol-choline, and benzoyl selenolcholine was carried out. Aminolysis rates increased sharply from ester to thiolester to selenolester. Tertiary and quaternary analogs reacted with-butylamine at essentiallyidentical rates. The three choline isologs underwent hydrolysis at rather similar rates, the order of reactivity being selenolester> ester> thiolester. Below a pH of 8 the ability of the selenolester and, to a lesser extent, of the thiolester to interact with phosphatebecame kinetically significant. For the tertiary amino compounds, plots of pH against log Aobed yielded sigmoid curves from which the dissociationconstants of the dimethylammonium groups could be derived. Anchimeric assistance by the dimethylamino group accelerated the reaction rates of all the tertiary amino compounds above those of the choline analogs below a pH of 11; this effect was more pronounced for the thiolester and selenolester than for the ester. Nucleophilic catalysis rather than general acid-specific base catalysis appears to be involved as suggested by the observation that the relative order of hydrolysis, selenolester faster than thiolester faster than ester, is that previouslynoted for theaminolysis and different from that nor-mally noted for the hydrolysis of such isologs. At pH values above 11, the tertiary amino compounds underwent hydrolysis more slowly than their quaternary analogs.
