The rates of decarboxylation of 4-methyl-, 4-methoxy-, and unsubstituted anthranilic acids have been determined in aqueous buffers over the pH range 2.5–3.8. Electron-releasing substituents increase the rates of ring-protonation about equally for an acid and its anion, and decrease the ratio of decarboxylation to deprotonation of the protonated acid. Rates, 13C-carboxyl kinetic isotope effects, and deuterium solvent isotope effects have been determined for the decarboxylation of anthranilic acid in aqueous sulfuric acid up to 10 M. No evidence for decarboxylation by cleavage of the unionized carboxyl group was obtained.

A study was carried out on the solvolysis of 1-adamantyl chlorothioformate (1-AdSCOCl, 1) in hydroxylic solvents. The rate constants of the solvolysis of 1 were well correlated using the Grunwald–Winstein equation in all of the 20 solvents (R = 0.985). The solvolyses of 1 were analyzed as the following two competing reactions: the solvolysis ionization pathway through the intermediate (1-AdSCO)+ (carboxylium ion) stabilized by the loss of chloride ions due to nucleophilic solvation and the solvolysis–decomposition pathway through the intermediate 1-Ad+Cl− ion pairs (carbocation) with the loss of carbonyl sulfide. In addition, the rate constants (kexp) for the solvolysis of 1 were separated into k1-Ad+Cl− and k1-AdSCO+Cl− through a product study and applied to the Grunwald–Winstein equation to obtain the sensitivity (m-value) to change in solvent ionizing power. For binary hydroxylic solvents, the selectivities (S) for the formation of solvolysis products were very similar to those of the 1-adamantyl derivatives discussed previously. The kinetic solvent isotope effects (KSIEs), salt effects and activation parameters for the solvolyses of 1 were also determined. These observations are compared with those previously reported for the solvolyses of 1-adamantyl chloroformate (1-AdOCOCl, 2). The reasons for change in reaction channels are discussed in terms of the gas-phase stabilities of acylium ions calculated using Gaussian 03.
