Photolysis of 1,3,4-trimethyl-1-phenylgermacyclopent-3-ene (5) in hydrocarbon solvents containing isoprene, methanol, or acetic acid affords 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (DMB) and the expected trapping products of methyl phenylgermylene (GeMePh) in chemical yields exceeding 90%. The germylene has been detected in hexane solution by laser flash photolysis as a short-lived species (τ ~ 2 µs) exhibiting a UV-vis absorption spectrum centered at λmax = 490 nm. It decays with second-order kinetics and a rate constant close to the diffusion-controlled limit, with the concomitant growth of a second longer-lived transient (λmax = 420 nm) that is assigned to a mixture of (E)- and (Z)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyldigermene (4). Absolute rate constants have been determined for the reactions of the germylene with primary and tertiary amines (n-BuNH2 and Et3N, respectively), acetic acid (AcOH), a terminal alkyne and alkene, isoprene, DMB, CCl4, and the group 14 hydrides Et3SiH and Bu3SnH. GeMePh is slightly more reactive than GePh2 towards all the reagents studied in this work; both are significantly less reactive than GeMe2 toward the same substrates. Absolute rate constants for the reactions of 4 have also been measured or assigned upper limits in every case and are compared to previously reported values for tetraphenyl- and tetramethyl-digermene with the same reagents.Key words: germylene, digermene, kinetics, laser flash photolysis, germirane, germirene, vinylgermirane, complex, UV–vis spectrum, insertion, addition.

Kinetic studies of the reactions in isopropanol of 4-nitrobenzofuroxan with cyanide ion and isopropoxide ion have been carried out over the temperature range 15.0 to 35.0 °C. For both bases, the first species identifiable using stopped-flow reaction techniques is postulated to be a C-7 σ-complex of 4-nitrobenzofuroxan and base. Specific rate constants and activation parameters for the formation of these σ-complexes are compared to corresponding data relating to the formation of cyanide ion and isopropoxide ion—σ-complexes of 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene in isopropanol.

N,N-Dimethylacetamide solutions of the cyclooctene complex [Rh(C8H14)2Cl]2, in the presence of excess chloride or diethylsulfide, are effective for the homogeneous hydrogénation of unsaturated carboxylic acids at ca. 80 °C and 1 atm H2. Kinetic studies on the hydrogenation of maleic acid are consistent with a rate determining step involving oxidative addition of H2 to square planar rhodium(I) olefin species. Rate constants and activation parameters agree with those determined previously from similar studies using corresponding rhodium(III) complexes and give confirmation that rhodium(I) catalysts are involved in the rhodium(III) systems. Discussion of the systems is limited by the somewhat uncertain nature of the catalysts; however, chlororhodate(I) species are involved in the chloride solutions, and bis(diethylsulfide) complexes appear likely in the sulfide systems.

Kinetic studies of the oxidation of 2,3-dihydroxy-2-propenal (triose reductone, RH2) by hexacyanoferrate(III), [Fe(CN)6]3−, were carried out in acidic media ([H+] = 0.02–0.1 M (1 M = 1 mol dm−3)) at various temperatures (10–30° C). The ionic strength of the media (I = 0.04–0.4 M) was adjusted using sodium perchlorate. The second-order rate constants in M−1 s−1 are (0.86 ± 0.06) – (2.83 ± 0.14) for the reactions of hexacyanoferrate(III) with RH2, and [(4.16 ± 0.03) − (12.4 ± 0.2)] × 103 for those with RH− ion. Activation parameters for the oxidation have been reported and compared with those of the oxidation of triose reductone with peroxodisulfate ion. A probable mechanism is proposed for the reaction.

The paper deals with instability of solutions of quaternary ammonium permanganates, QMnO4 (Q = tetraethyl-, tetra-1-propyl-, tetra-1-butyl-, tetra-1-pentyl-, tetra-1-octyl-, and cetyltrimethylammonium), in dichloromethane and presents the rate constants and activation parameters of the reduction of permanganate. Attention was paid to the properties of colloidal Mn(IV) intermediate. The stability of the solutions depends markedly on the quaternary ammonium salt used.

The reactivity of the base induced cyclodimerization of 1-(6-arylpyridazin-3-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium chlorides in a pericyclic process have been investigated kinetically at λ 380 nm. The reaction was found to be second order with respect to the liberated betaine and zero order with respect to the base. On the other hand dedimerization (monomer formation) was found to be first order. It was shown that dimerization is favoured at low temperature, whereas dedimerization process is favoured at relatively high temperature (ca 70 °C). Solvent effects on the reaction rate have been found to follow the order ethanol > chloroform ≈ 1,2-dichloroethane. Complete dissociation was accomplished only in 1,2-dichloroethane at ca 70 °C. The thermodynamic activation parameters have been calculated by a standard method. Thus, ∆G# has been found to be independent on substituents and solvents. The high negative values of ∆S# supports the cyclic transition state which is in favour with the concerted mechanism. MO calculations using SCF-PPP approximation method indicated low HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the investigated betaines.

Reactions of aryl 1-(2,4-dinitronaphthyl) ethers with piperidine in dimethyl sulfoxide at 25oC resulted in substitution of the aryloxy group at the ipso carbon atom. The reaction was measured spectrophotochemically and the kinetic studies suggested that the titled reaction is accurately third order. The mechanism is began by fast nucleophilic attack of piperidine on C1 to form zwitterion intermediate (I) followed by deprotonation of zwitterion intermediate (I) to the Meisenheimer ion (II) in a slow step, that is, SB catalysis. The regular variation of activation parameters suggested that the reaction proceeded through a common mechanism. The Hammett equation using reaction constant σo values and Brønsted coefficient value showed that the reaction is poorly dependent on aryloxy substituent and the reaction was significantly associative and Meisenheimer intermediate-like. The mechanism of piperidinolysis has been theoretically investigated using density functional theory method using B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) computational level. The combination between experimental and computational studies predicts what mechanism is followed either through uncatalyzed or catalyzed reaction pathways, that is, SB and SB-GA. The global parameters of the reactants, the proposed activated complexes, and the local Fukui function analysis explained that C1 carbon atom is the most electrophilic center of ether. Also, kinetics and theoretical calculation of activation energies indicated that the mechanism of the piperidinolysis passed through a two-step mechanism and the proton transfer process was the rate determining step.
