Solvent Isotope Effects

A kinetic study of the mechanism of oxidation of Ala-Gly and Pro-Gly by aqueous chlorine has been carried out. Among other experimental facts, the deuterium solvent isotope effects were used to clarify the mechanisms involved. In a first stage, N-chlorination takes place, and then the (N-Cl)-dipeptide decomposes through two possible mechanisms, depending on the acidity of the medium. The initial chlorination step shows a small isotope effect. In alkaline medium, two consecutive processes take place: first, the general base-catalyzed formation of an azomethine (β ca. 0.27), which has an inverse deuterium solvent isotope effect (kOH-/kOD- ~ 0.8). In a second step, the hydrolysis of the azomethine intermediate takes place, which is also general base-catalyzed, without deuterium solvent isotope effect, the corresponding uncatalyzed process having a normal deuterium solvent isotope effect (kH2O/kD2O ~ 2). In acid medium, the (N-Cl)-dipeptide undergoes disproportionation to a (N,N)-di-Cl-dipeptide, the very fast decomposition of the latter in deuterium oxide preventing a reliable estimation of the solvent isotope effect.Key words: chlorination, deuterium isotope effects, fractionation factors, peptide oxidation, water treatment.

The large kinetic solvent isotope effects for the neutral hydrolysis of acetic and propionic anhydride show unusual temperature dependency; the former passing through a maximum at about 15°, the latter showing a minimum at 30°. This unusual temperature dependency is the consequence of widely different values of the apparent ΔCp≠ in H2O and D2O: the value for acetic anhydride in H2O being −74 ± 2 cal deg−1 mol−1 but −32 ± 4 in D2O. The corresponding values for propionic anhydride being −31 ± 2 in H2O but −94 ± 10 in D2O. The implications of these differences are discussed.

The rates of neutral hydrolysis of a series of 4-substituted benzyl trifluoroacetates 4-X-C6H4CH2OCOCF3, X = NO2, Cl, H, CH3, and OCH3 have been studied in water and deuterium oxide, both solvents containing 0.012 mol fraction of acetone. The alteration of the rates with the nature of the 4-substituent and the kinetic solvent isotope effect (k(H2O)/k(D2O)) are consistent with the proposal that the esters with X = NO2, Cl, H, and CH3 all react by an acyl–oxygen BAc2 mechanism. On the other hand, the same mechanistic criteria indicate that the 4-methoxybenzyl ester reacts by both the BAc2 and the SN1 alkyl–oxygen fission paths in equal amounts.

Solvent Isotope Effects

Solvent isotope effects have long been used as a mechanistic tool for determining enzyme mechanisms. Most commonly, macroscopic rate constants such as kcat and kcat/Km are found to decrease when the reaction is performed in D2O for a variety of reasons including the transfer of protons. Under certain circumstances, these constants are found to increase, in what is termed an inverse solvent kinetic isotope effect (SKIE), which can be a diagnostic mechanistic feature. Generally, these phenomena can be attributed to an inverse solvent equilibrium isotope effect on a rapid equilibrium preceding the rate-limiting step(s). This review surveys inverse SKIEs in enzyme-catalyzed reactions by assessing their underlying origins in common mechanistic themes. Case studies for each category are presented, and the mechanistic implications are put into context. It is hoped that readers may find the illustrative examples valuable in planning and interpreting solvent isotope effect experiments.

Abstract The isotope effects approach was used to elucidate the mechanism of oxidative deamination of 3′-halotyramines, catalyzed by monoamine oxidase A (EC 1.4.3.4). The numerical values of kinetic isotope effect (KIE) and solvent isotope effect (SIE) were established using a non-competitive spectrophotometric technique. Based upon KIE and SIE values, some of the mechanistic details of investigated reaction were discussed.

A medium solvent isotope effect of Φ = 0.827 ± 0.013 was determined for transfer of isobutyrophenone from H2O to D2O. This result, in conjunction with the average solvent isotope effect on hydration of a number of carbonyl compounds, leads to [Formula: see text] as the fractionation factor for the hydroxyl group hydrogens of the hydration reactions' gem-diol products, which is consistent with the expectation that fractionation factors for uncharged hydroxyl groups should be unity. Keywords: isobutyrophenone, fractionation factors, solvent isotope effects, deuterium oxide.

Solvent Isotope Effects

Rates of hydrolysis of 1-diazo-2-indanone and 2-diazo-1-indanone were measured in dilute aqueous perchloric acid solutions using both H2O and D2O as the solvent, and rates of hydrolysis of the latter substrate were measured in dilute aqueous (H2O only) formic acid buffer solutions as well. The data for 1-diazo-2-indanone gave the hydronium ion catalytic coefficient kH+ = 5.7 × 10–3 (mol/L)–1 s–1 and the isotope effect kH+/kD+ = 2.9. The normal direction (kH/kD > 1) of this isotope effect was taken as evidence for a reaction mechanism involving rate-determining hydron transfer from the hydronium ion to the substrate's diazo carbon atom; followed by rapid displacement of diazo nitrogen by a water molecule, giving the observed 1-hydroxy-2-indanone product. The data for 2-diazo-1-indanone, on the other hand, gave a hydronium ion catalytic coefficient two orders of magnitude greater than the value for 1-diazo-2-indanone (kH+ = 5.9 × 10–1 (mol/L)–1 s–1), and an isotope effect near unity (kH+/kD+ = 1.2). It is argued that this isotope effect represents a situation in which diazo carbon hydronation and displacement of diazo nitrogen are each partly rate determining, a conclusion supported by incipient saturation of buffer catalysis in the formic acid buffer solutions. The 100-fold difference in hydronium ion catalytic coefficients for the two substrates is rationalized in terms of differing electron densities on the diazo carbon atoms.Key words: diazo compound hydrolysis, solution kinetics, acid catalysis, solvent isotope effects, buffer catalysis saturation.
