The transition-state activity coefficient [Formula: see text] approach has been applied to the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of benzamide and its N-alkyl derivatives. For all systems (with the exception of the N-tert-butyl derivative which reacts via carbon–nitrogen bond cleavage) a uniform type of medium dependence of [Formula: see text] is observed. The reaction shows a pronounced destabilization of S≠ over the whole region of acidity studied, practically identical to that found for the AAc-2 type of ester hydrolysis. This is interpreted in terms of an AoT2 mechanism of amide hydrolysis, that is the rate-determining formation of the oxonium-type tetrahedral intermediate from the O-protonated form of substrate conjugate acid.

It has been shown recently that many supposed reaction intermediates in aqueous media do not have lifetimes long enough for them to serve this purpose. Among these are oxygen-protonated species where the positive charge is not delocalized, primary and secondary carbocations, and the commonly written species H3O+ and HO–. This means that the mechanisms for many of the organic reactions that take place in aqueous media are in need of revision. This paper concerns the acid hydrolysis of simple ethers, many of which cannot form carbocations stable enough to exist in water. Rather than an A1 process in which an oxygen-protonated species dissociates into an alcohol and a carbocation, which is then quenched by water, or an A2 process in which a water molecule or another nucleophilic species assists in this, the mechanism for most ethers is a general-acid-catalyzed process in which proton transfer to oxygen is concerted with C–O bond cleavage in cases where a stable carbocation can exist, or additionally concerted with nucleophilic attack for those cases in which stable carbocation formation is not possible. All of the cases for which rate constant data could be found in the literature are analyzed and discussed in this paper, with the exception of the hydrolyses of several azoethers, where additional hydrolysis mechanisms are possible. These will be discussed in a subsequent paper.

The hydrolysis of triethyl phosphate in water and in 35% dioxane – 65% water has been examined. Hydrolysis in neutral water proceeds with a rate constant of 8.35 × 10−6 s−1 at 101°, ΔH* = 23.4 kcal/mol, ΔS* = −20 e.u., a solvent isotope effect [Formula: see text] of 1.3, C—O bond cleavage as shown by 18O labeling, and no catalysis by 0.5 M sulfuric acid. These results are consistent with the BAL2 mechanism of hydrolysis and the same pathway is indicated for the reaction in neutral 35% dioxane –65% water. Perchloric acid catalyzes the reaction in dioxane–water with C—O bond cleavage in 0.904 M acid, ΔH* = 24.1 kcal/mol, ΔS* = −17 e.u., and the solvent isotope effect [Formula: see text] in 0.556 M acid. These results indicate that the AAL2 pathway of hydrolysis is followed under these conditions. The reactivity of triethyl phosphate is compared with that of ethyl acetate.

The course of hydrolysis of an ester, 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid catalyzed with poly(1-methyl-3-allylimidazolium bromide) (IIa), poly[l-methyl-3-(2-propinyl)imidazolium chloride] (IIb) and poly[l-methyl-3-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)imidazolium bromide] (IIc) in a 28.5% aqueous ethanol was investigated as a function of pH and compared with low-molecular weight models, viz., l-methyl-3-alkylimidazolium bromides (the alkyl group being methyl, propyl, and hexyl, resp). Polymers IIb, IIc possessed a higher activity at pH above 9, while the models were more active at a lower pH with a maximum at pH 7.67. The catalytic activity at the higher pH is attributed to an attack by the OH- group, while at the lower pH it is assigned to a direct attack of water on the substrate. The rate of hydrolysis of 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid is proportional to the catalyst concentration [IIc] and proceeds as a first-order reaction. The hydrolysis depends on the composition of the solvent and was highest at 28.5% (vol.) of ethanol in water. The hydrolysis of a neutral ester, 4-nitrophenyl acetate, was not accelerated by IIc.

Methyl 4-O-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl) and methyl 4-O-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside and their 6-O-isomers were prepared as model substances for the ether lignin-saccharide bond by reductive cleavage of corresponding 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives. Kinetic study of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the compounds prepared was carried out by spectrophotometric determination of the benzyl alcoholic groups set free, after their reaction with quinonemonochloroimide, and it showed the low stability of the p-hydroxybenzyl ether bond.

Kinetics of formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from 24 substitution derivatives of O-benzoylbenzamidoxime have been studied in sulphuric acid and aqueous ethanol media. It has been found that this medium requires introduction of the Hammett H0 function instead of the pH scale beginning as low as from 0.1% solutions of mineral acids. Effects of the acid concentration, ionic strength, and temperature on the reaction rate and on the kinetic isotope effect have been followed. From these dependences and from polar effects of substituents it was concluded that along with the cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles there proceeds hydrolysis to benzamidoxime and benzoic acid. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled by the acid-base equilibrium of the O-benzylated benzamidoximes.
