Abstract

Kinetics of nucleophilic additions of butylamine to phenylsulfonyl isothiocyanate was investigated by the stopped-flow UV spectroscopic method and the transfer of electronic effects of substituents on the reaction centre through the SO2 group was examined. The structure and the polar character of SO2NCS, NCS and SO2 groups is discussed.
