The kinetics of alkaline cleavage of o-nitrobenzyltrimethylsilane were examined in aqueous dioxane media. At high water concentrations, increases in solvent polarity retard the cleavage, as required by a mechanism involving charge dispersion in the transition state. At high dioxane concentrations, solvent polarity increases are accompanied by increases in the rate of reaction, a result which may reflect association between the solvent components.

The rates of reduction of a series of 1-(Z-benzyl)nicotinonitrile cations by a series of 1-(X-benzyl)-1,4-dihydronicotinamides have been studied at 25 °C in 20% CH3CN – 80% H2O (pH 7.0 (5 mM phosphate), ionic strength 1.0 (KCl)). Spectral studies indicate the formation of 1,4-dihydronicotinonitrile products, without the formation of the isomeric 1,2-dihydro- or 1,6-dihydro-nicotinamide intermediates. Second-order rate constants (k2) for these reductions are closely correlated with the Hammett σ constants for X and Z. Thus, for X = H, log k2 = 0.63σz − 1.05, while for Z = 4-CN, log k2 = −0.64σx − 0.65. The close correspondence between these ρx and ρz values indicates that charge neutralization on the nicotinonitrile cation exactly balances charge generation on the nicotinamide cation product in the rate-determining transition state. Thus the migrating hydrogen species is electrically neutral in the rate-determining transition state, which contrasts with the hydridic transition states previously reported in the reduction of isoquinolinium cations by 1,4-dihydronicotinamides. When 1-benzyl-4,4-dideuterio-1,4-dihydronicotinamide is used as the reductant, primary kinetic isotope effects of 3.0 and 2.7 are observed for the reduction of the 1-methylnicotinonitrile and 1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-nicotinonitrile cations, respectively. These data are evaluated in terms of the various mechanistic possibilities for hydride transfer.

The kinetics of acid hydrolysis of a number of aliphatic acetals have been studied in dimethyl sulphoxide-water and dioxan-water mixtures. Where possible, experimentally measured medium activity coefficients for the acetals in the solvent systems have been used in order to calculate the transition state activity coefficients as a function of solvent composition. These activity coefficients are compared with those calculated for the transition states of other hydrolytic reactions, and with the known activity coefficients of some stable ions. The results show no features inconsistent with the assumptions of transition state theory.
