The kinetics of addition of a number of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted benzylamines to β-nitrostyrene (NS) in acetonitrile have been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to NS. The order with respect to the amine is higher than one. It has been shown that the reaction follows two mechanistic pathways, uncatalyzed and catalyzed by the amine. The Arrhenius activation energy for the catalyzed path is negative, indicating the presence of a pre-equilibrium (k1, k−1) leading to the formation of a zwitterion. The values of the rate constant, k1, for the nucleophilic attack have been determined for 28 benzylamines. The rate constant k1 was subjected to correlation analysis using Charton's LDR and LDRS equations. The polar regression coefficients are negative, indicating the formation of a cationic species in the transition state. The reaction is subject to steric hindrance by ortho substituents. Key words: nucleophilic addition, benzylamines, correlation analysis, kinetics, alkene.

AbstractThe solubilization of membranes by detergents is critical for many technological applications and has become widely used in biochemistry research to induce cell rupture, extract cell constituents, and to purify, reconstitute and crystallize membrane proteins. The thermodynamic details of solubilization have been extensively investigated, but the kinetic aspects remain poorly understood. Here we used a combination of single-vesicle Förster resonance energy transfer (svFRET), fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring to access the real-time kinetics and elementary solubilization steps of sub-micron sized vesicles, which are inaccessible by conventional diffraction-limited optical methods. Real-time injection of a non-ionic detergent, Triton X, induced biphasic solubilization kinetics of surface-immobilized vesicles labelled with the Dil/DiD FRET pair. The nanoscale sensitivity accessible by svFRET allowed us to unambiguously assign each kinetic step to distortions of the vesicle structure comprising an initial fast vesicle-swelling event followed by slow lipid loss and micellization. We expect the svFRET platform to be applicable beyond the sub-micron sizes studied here and become a unique tool to unravel the complex kinetics of detergent-lipid interactions.
