Abstract
Second-order rate constants (k(Nu)) have been measured for the addition of amines to ketenes 4-6 in acetonitrile solution by the laser flash photolysis technique. These ketenes are formed from a photochemical Wolff rearrangement of diazoketones 1-3, respectively. For all diazoketones studied, the presence of amines as nucleophiles in the reaction medium results in the formation of an intermediate that later converts to the amide. The rate of formation of these intermediates is linearly dependent on amine concentration. Various classes of amines, such as primary, secondary, and tertiary, aromatic, and aliphatic, have been used to investigate the ketene reactivity, and rate constants in the range 10(4)-10(9) M(-1) s(-1) have been measured. Reaction rates are dependent upon steric effects in both the ketene and the nucleophile, which is consistent with a reaction mechanism involving nucleophilic attack at Calpha in the molecular plane of the ketene. On the basis of these data, a set of N(+) parameters for the reaction of amines with ketenes was determined.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
