Phase-separation temperatures Tp have been measured for the systems H2O+C6H5OH, H2O+ C6H5OD, H20+ CsD5OD, D20+ C6H50H, D2O+ C6H5OD, D2O+ C6DsOD, H2O+ (CH3)2CHCO2H and D2O+ (CH3)2CHCO2H. For water+ 2-methylpropanoic acid, the differences in the Tp-x curves for the exchange and no-exchange systems are striking. For water + phenol, on the other hand, the effect of deuterium-exchange reactions on the Tp-x curves is very small. The results for all systems are in accord with the qualitative predictions of the Rabinovich theory, which accounts for deuterium isotope effects in liquid-liquid phase diagrams in terms of hydrogen bond and London dispersion interactions. Molar excess enthalpies and molar excess volumes at 300.15 K are reported for the system water + 2-methylpropanoic acid. The results are compared with those for water + acetic acid.

Molar excess enthalpies of H20 + (CH3),CO, H20 + (CD3),C0, D20 + (CH3)2C0 and D20+ (CD3)2CO at 298.15 K are reported and, in the case of the first system, compared with earlier studies. The results are comparable to those reported for deuterium isotope effects in the molar excess enthalpies of other systems containing (CH3)2CO and (CD3)2CO; they do not suggest the occurrence of any deuterium exchange reactions. A calorimetric study of the mixing of (CD3)2CO with H2O containing a small quantity of NaOH indicates the occurrence of slow, exothermic reaction(s).

Competitive hydration and isomerisation of the quinone methide I at 25 °C in an aqueous medium in the region of pH 2.4-13.0 was studied spectrophotometrically. The only reaction products in the studied range of pH are 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (II) and 4-hydroxystyrene (III). The form of the overall rate equation corresponds to a general acid-base catalysis. The mechanism of both reactions for three markedly separated pH regions is discussed on the basis of kinetic data and solvent deuterium effect.
