Solvent effects vis a vis structural effects on the alkaline hydrolysis of various di-and mono-benzoates of glycols have been studied in binary solvent mixtures of dimethyl sulphoxide-water, ethanol-water and acetone-water. It is observed that the higher the stabilization of the transition state by the neighbouring group, the greater is the susceptibility of the reaction to dipolar aprotic solvent acceleration[i.e. k(Me2SO)/k(EtOH) value]. The possibility of employing such solvent effects to evaluate the extent of anchimeric assistance in ester hydrolysis where the neighbouring group can stabilize the transition state is examined. The studies have been extended to triethylene glycol derivatives and it is suggested that dipolar aprotic-protic solvent effects could be used as a kinetic probe for the conformation of the molecule.

The nuclear magnetic resonance technique of preferential solvation analysis developed by Frankel, Stengle, and Langford is applied to determination of the composition of the solvation shell about trans-[Cr(NH3)2(NCS)4]− in acetone–water mixtures. The composition of the solvation shell is correlated with the rate of acid hydrolysis of the chromium complex. It emerges that the solvolysis reaction is second order with respect to the solvolytically reactive solvent, water. The mechanistic implications of the rate law are considered as is the significance of analysis of preferential solvation for the determination of kinetic order of solvolytic reactions.

ABSTRACT A procedure for the quantitative determination of 5β-pregnan-3α-ol-20-one in urine is described. After acid hydrolysis of the pregnanolone-conjugates in urine, the free steroids are extracted with toluene. Pregnanolone is isolated in a pure form as its acetate; after chromatographic separation of the free steroids on alumina, the fraction containing pregnanolone is acetylated and rechromatographed on alumina. Quantitative determination of the isolated pregnanolone-acetate is carried out with the aid of the infrared spectrum recorded by a micro KBr-wafermethod. The reliability of the method under various conditions is discussed under the headings, specificity, accuracy, precision and sensitivity. It is possible to determine 30–40 μg pregnanolone in a 24-hours urine portion with a precision of 25%.
