Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to examine the deuterium exchange of the methyl protons in two lumazine derivatives. The exchange occurs at the C-7 methyl group in 6,7,8-trimethyllumazine (2) and at the C-6 methyl group in 1,7-dihydro-6,7,8-trimethyllumazine (3). The former reaction is subject to both general acid- and general base-catalysis but the latter only to general acid-catalysis. Plausible mechanisms for the reactions of both compounds are advanced, involving in the case of 3, acid-catalyzed addition of water across the C6—N5 double bond.

Rates of hydrolysis have been measured for o-methylbenzylideneaniline, o-hydroxybenzylideneaniline, and benzylideneaniline in various buffer solutions in 20% (by volume) aqueous methanol at 29.9 °C. Rate constants for the o-CH3 compound and the unsubstituted Schiff base agree within experimental error which indicates that there is no appreciable rate retarding steric effect. The o-OH group decreases the hydrolysis rate at pH = 5.6 – 6.6 by approximately one power of ten. This effect is caused by the hydrogen bond between the OH group and the azomethine N, which renders the Schiff base less accessible to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis.
