The spontaneous and the acid-catalyzed hydrolyses of acetic anhydride have been measured as a function of temperature over the range 0 to 40 °C, as a function of pressure over the range 0 to 3 kb at 0 °C, and as a function of solvent over the range 0 to 70.3% w/w acetone–water at 0 °C. The results are discussed with reference to the mechanisms of the hydrolyses. The volume and entropy of activation of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis are −17.1 ± ~1.3 cm3 mole−1 and ~ −20 cal deg−1 mole−1, showing that the mechanism[Formula: see text]suggested because the rate was proportional to Hammett's h0, is not correct. It follows that the Zucker–Hammett hypothesis is invalid for this reaction, as we have shown previously for other reactions, and hence that it does not provide a valid method of distinguishing between the A-1 and A-2 mechanisms.

Due to the introduction of stricter nutrient effluent standards, many existing wastewater treatment plants performing only primary or secondary treatment are about to be upgraded. As the space available at the plants is, however, often limited, processes are required which will accommodate the need for increased treatment capacity without requiring much more space. In the hydrolysis of primary or pre-precipitated sludge direct-degradable organic carbon is produced which can speed up the reaction rate and increase both biological phosphorus and nitrogen removal. Full-scale tests with dosing of hydrolysate for biological P and N removal, respectively, have shown that this is a most viable process. The use of on-line monitoring has improved the process further.

1-(Carboxymethyl)cytosine (Ia), 1-(5-O-carboxymethyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)cytosine (IIa) and 5'-O-carboxylmethylcytidine (IIIa) were transformed by treatment with acetic anhydride and 4-dimethylaminopyridine to the peracetyl derivatives Ib-IIIb. These products reacted with p-nitrophenol in the presence of N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to give the activated esters Ic-IIIc which on reaction with ammonia, dimethylamine or 2-aminoethanol afforded the corresponding carboxamides Id-IIId, IIe,f. Reactions of Ic and IIc with human serum albumin and bovine γ-globulin at pH 9.2, followed by hydrolysis of the N- or O-acetyl groups at pH 9.5, gave 50% up to 64% yields of the respective conjugates Ig, IIg and Ih, IIh.

Kinetics of formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from 24 substitution derivatives of O-benzoylbenzamidoxime have been studied in sulphuric acid and aqueous ethanol media. It has been found that this medium requires introduction of the Hammett H0 function instead of the pH scale beginning as low as from 0.1% solutions of mineral acids. Effects of the acid concentration, ionic strength, and temperature on the reaction rate and on the kinetic isotope effect have been followed. From these dependences and from polar effects of substituents it was concluded that along with the cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles there proceeds hydrolysis to benzamidoxime and benzoic acid. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled by the acid-base equilibrium of the O-benzylated benzamidoximes.

(1 S) - (+)-Fenchone is sulfonated by SO3 or H2SO4/acetic anhydride in the bridgehead methyl group. This could be confirmed by NMR techniques (INADEQUATE). The fenchonesulfonic acid obtained is converted (SOCl2/NH3) to the cyclic fenchonesulfonimide, which can be oxidized to the corresponding oxaziridine, in close analogy to 10-camphorsulfonimide. Improved procedures for this reaction sequences are given. During the treatment of the sulfonic acid with thionyl chloride, a byproduct with a rearranged bicyclic skeleton is observed whose structure has been determined by ozonolytic degradation and NMR techniques. A possible mechanism for this rearrangement is suggested, based on MNDO calculations of the intermediate carbocations. The fenchonesulfonyloxaziridine oxidizes sulfides to chiral sulfoxides with appreciable enantiomeric excess, but very low reaction rate. A comparison with camphor-derived oxaziridines having similar steric requirements is made.



The relation between reaction rate and potential (or time) for electrochemical surface processes occurring under potentiodynamic control (linear potential-time programme) has been investigated with particular reference to the behaviour of thin surface oxide films on noble metals. The kinetics of processes involving adsorbed electroactive species are treated for several model cases; the rate equations are developed for mechanisms involving various reaction orders or for processes involving adsorbed reactant interactions and surface heterogeneity effects. By examination of the dependence of the reaction rate (current) with time and the effect of potential scan rate, v , on the maximum reaction velocity and the potential at which it occurs, the models may be distinguished. In this manner, the inter­dependence of v and the reaction velocity constants k a and k c for the anodic oxidation and the cathodic reduction processes respectively, can be quantitatively established. The relation between quasi-equilibrium situations where the reverse reaction is significant and irreversible situations where it is not can be demonstrated. Heterogeneity terms introduced into the kinetic relations express deviations from Langmuir adsorption behaviour and may be an intrinsic property of the substrate surface or a property of the adsorbed reactant (induced heterogeneity). Applications of the treatment are made to reduction of surface oxide species at the noble metals and the significance of hysteresis and time effects in the processes of electrochemical formation and reduction of surface oxide at platinum, rhodium, iridium and palladium is investigated.

The yields of N2, O2, NO, and O3 have been measured from the Febetron radiolysis of N2O–O2 mixtures with and without SF6. A mechanism consistent with the yields from 0–100% O2 and with known ionic abundances and reaction rate data has been derived. The major features of this mechanism are both dissociative neutralization of N2O+ and excitation of N2O to give N2(X1Σ) and O(1D) and smaller amounts of N2(B3Π) and O(3P). The large yields of NO and N2 observed are mainly due to reaction of O(1D) with N2O to give both N2 and O2 and NO.

The hydrolysis of 2-methoxy-2,3-dihydropyran shows a normal isotope effect (kH/kD > 1) under catalysis by the hydrogen ion and gives an accurately linear dependence of reaction rate upon undissociated acid concentration in cyanoacetic acid and formic acid buffer solutions. This substrate, therefore, unlike its higher homolog, 9-methoxyoxacyclonon-2-ene, provides no evidence in support of an anything but a normal mechanism for vinyl ether hydrolysis. Analysis of the hydrogen isotope effect suggests that a minor amount (8%) of this hydrolysis occurs via reaction of the acetal functional group.
