With the general aim of elucidating the role of water structure in the kinetics of hydrolysis, a comparative study has been made of the kinetics of the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride and the reaction of 4-nitrophenyl acetate with imidazole in mixtures of water with ethanol, t-butyl alcohol, dimethyl sulphoxide and dioxan. Both rate constants were always reduced by the addition of organic solvent. Transition state activity coefficients were measured for both reactions in dimethyl sulphoxide-water mixtures and compared with the activity coefficient of phenylalanine (a model zwitterionic transition state). Activation parameters were measured for the hydrolysis of aceticanhydride in t-butyl alcohol-water and dimethyl sulphoxide-water mixtures. Semilogarithmic plots of rate constant against Winstein's Y-value were non-linear for some of the solvents and this fact, coupled with the effect of dimethyl sulphoxide on the transition state activity coefficients, leads to the conclusion that specific interactions of the solvent with the reactants and with the transition state could be of major importance in controlling the reaction rate.There was no obvious relationship between the effect of an organic solvent on the kinetics of hydrolysis of acetic anhydride and its effect on the structure of water.

The rate of hydrolysis of S2O82- ions in acidic medium to peroxomonosulphuric acid was measured at 20 and 30 °C. The composition of the starting solution corresponded to the anolyte flowing out from an electrolyser for production of this acid or its ammonium salt at various degrees of conversion and starting molar ratios of sulphuric acid to ammonium sulphate. The measured data served to calculate the rate constants at both temperatures on the basis of the earlier proposed mechanism of the hydrolysis, and their dependence on the ionic strength was studied.

Abstract The substance BK 129 - 1-[2-(2-pentyloxyphenylcarbamoyloxy)-(2-methoxymethyl)-ethyl]-perhydroazepinium chloride was prepared in terms of influence of the connecting chain between the carbamate functional group and the basic part of molecule on biological activity. Such a structural feature is important with regard to its stability. In this work we determined the rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of this compound at increased temperature under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The hydrolysis was also performed in buffer solutions with the purpose of evaluating its stability. Non-isothermal tests of stability enable to reduce the number of analyses. The necessary data for stability of compound are in this way achieved in a short time.
