The rate of hydrolysis of bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide (sulfur mustard) in aqueous mixtures of ethanol, acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide has been measured and compared with previously reported values. Rate constants in water at 25°C for the two consecutive hydrolysis reactions undergone by sulfur mustard were estimated to be (2.93�0.15)×10-3 and (3.87�0.14)×10-3 s-1. Charge separation of 0.42 in the transition states was indicated together with significant solvation of the positive end of the transition state dipoles.

The accelerating effect of added dimethyl sulfoxide on the rate of hydroxide-catalyzed ionization of chloroform in water has been examined in terms of the solvation of reactants and transition state. Enthalpies of solution of chloroform in water, DMSO, and mixtures of the two have been measured. From these, together with enthalpies of activation for the detritiation of chloroform, and enthalpies of transfer of hydroxide ion from water to aqueous DMSO mixtures, transition state enthalpies of transfer have been calculated. The reaction is accelerated by small concentrations of DMSO because of increased transition state solvation, but by large DMSO concentrations due to reduced solvation of hydroxide ion. Transition state solvation is unlike that of the reactants, but resembles that expected for CCl3− ion.
