The rate of exchange of deuterium for protium in the 4-methyl groups of 2-imino-1,4-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyrimidine (1), 1,4-dimethyl-2-pyrimidone (2), and 4-methyl-2-amino-pyrimidine (3) has been determined in aqueous solution over an acidity range of some 21 pH(H0) units. The various exchange routes involve attack by base (water, hydroxide ion, buffer anion) on substrate (neutral, singly protonated, doubly protonated) and the identities of the principal components across the acidity spectrum have been established for all three compounds. The Brønsted slope, kinetic isotope effect, and activation parameters for 1 have also been determined. Protonating 1 activates it toward exchange by a factor of 103; addition of a second proton has a further effect of >105. The activating effects of the imino group, the carbonyl group, and the protonated imino group in these compounds are in the ratio 10−1:1:102.

Equilibrium constants Kadd = 440 and Kox = 3.0 × 108 for formation of a carbinolamine adduct and oxime, respectively from 9-formylfluorene and hydroxylamine, and pKa = –1.62 for protonation of the oxime, have been evaluated at 25°C in aqueous solution, based on measurements in hydroxylamine buffers, acetic acid buffers, and dilute HCl. Rate constants for hydrolysis of the oxime have been measured in the acidity range pH 4–12 M HClO4. At the highest acidities, a reaction pathway via protonated carbinolamine has been identified: evidence is presented that the reverse of this reaction involves rate-determining attack of hydroxylamine upon protonated 9-formylfluorene. By assuming that the attack of hydroxylamine is diffusion-controlled, with rate constant 3 × 109 M –1 s–1, a pKa for O-protonation of the aldehyde (–4.5) is derived. Taking account of the equilibrium constant for enolization of 9-formylfluorene (KE = 16.6), a pKa for for C-protonation of the enol tautomer ((–5.7) may also be obtained. Comparison of this pKa with that of the enol of acetophenone shows that the enol of 9-formylfluorene is less basic by a factor of 1010. By combining pKas for protonation of the aldehyde and oxime with measured or estimated equilibrium constants for addition of water, hydroxide ion, and hydroxylamine to 9-formylfluorene, it is also possible to obtain values of pKR = –5.3, 4.1, and 12.25 for the protonated 9-formylfluorene, protonated oxime, and 9-formylfluorene, respectively. The usefulness of pKR in providing a general measure of equilibrium constants for electrophile-nucleophile combination reactions is discussed.Key words: oxime, formyfluorene, hydrolysis, protonation, diffusion-control.

A method, the "competition method", for the determination of reduction potentials and estimation of standard potentials for short-lived radicals is reviewed. Applications of the reduction potentials of radicals as arguments for reaction mechanisms are presented for the Grignard reaction, the photoreduction of ketones with alcohols, and the SRN1 reaction. Reductions induced by hydroxide ions are discussed in more detail, and the classic reaction between nitrosobenzene and hydroxide ion in aqueous solution is used as an example of such a reaction. A nucleophilic attack by hydroxide ion rather than an electron transfer initiates the reduction sequence. A review with 26 references.
