The hydrolyses of methane- and ethanesulphonyl chlorides in aqueous acetone and aqueous dioxan, in the range 0.2-1.0 mole fraction of water, follow an SN2 mechanism. The first-order rate constants at low temperature go through a maximum as the composition of the solvent approaches pure water and there is a marked retardation at other temperatures. There is strong evidence that the nature of the transition complex is changing as the solvent composition is changed. The data arising from the use of an extended range of solvent composition have invalidated earlier discussions of the nature of this reaction.

Abstract The specific rate constants k1 and k2 of the consecutive first-order acid-catalysed hydrolysis steps of diethylsuccinate in dioxane-water mixtures covering the range 0-95% (w/w) of dioxane are determined at 25-55 °C. As the concentration of dioxane increases, the rate of the reaction decreases to a minimum at about 90% (w/w) dioxane, after which it increases again. The ratio k1/k2 was found to be almost constant at the value 2.0. The activation energies of the reaction are independent of solvent composition. Available electrostatic theories regarding the effect of the dielectric constant on the rate are presented, from which the reaction is shown to be an ion-molecular dipole type of interaction. The thermodynamic parameters and the radii of the activated complex at different solvent compositions are calculated and discussed.

The acid-catalysed hydrolysis of ditert.-butylsuccinate in dioxane-water mixtures proceeds via consecutive first-order reactions. The rate constants kI and kII corresponding to the two steps decrease with increasing dioxane content of the medium. After reaching a minimum at 90% (w/w) dioxane, both rate constants increase again with further addition of dioxane. The kinetic ratio kI/kII is smaller than the statistical value 2.0, and is markedly affected both by solvent composition and temperature. The maximum concentration of the intermediate half ester decreases with increasing dioxane content. The observed activation energies EI and EII of the two steps of the reaction are largely dependent on temperature as well as solvent composition indicating a mixed type of bond fission represented by the AAl 1 and AAC 2 mechanisms, whose relative contributions in the overall rate constants kI and kIIcould be calculated on the basis of the number of water molecules incorporated in the corresponding transition states. The effect of bulk dielectric constant on the reaction rate was investigated in the light of the available electrostatic theories and showed the reaction to be an ion-molecular dipole type of interaction. The activation thermodynamic parameters were computed and discussed as criteria of solvent effect and mechanism.

The second-order rate constants k (in dm3 mol–1 s–1) for alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of meta-, para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr at 25 °C. The substituent effects for para and meta derivatives were described using the Hammett relationship. For the ortho derivatives the Charton equation was used. For ortho-substituted esters two steric scales were involved: the EsB and the Charton steric (υ) constants. When going from pure water to aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr, the meta and para polar effects, the ortho inductive and resonance effects in alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of substituted benzoic acids, became stronger nearly to the same extent as found for alkaline hydrolysis of C6H5CO2C6H4-X. The steric term of ortho-substituted esters was almost independent of the media considered. The rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of ortho-, meta- and para-substituted phenyl benzoates (X-C6H4CO2C6H5, C6H5CO2C6H4-X) and alkyl benzoates, C6H5CO2R, in water, 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr were correlated with the corresponding IR stretching frequencies of carbonyl group, (ΔνCO)X.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

The values of pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) for alkaline hydrolysis of1, obtained at 1.0 mM NaOH and withinCmEnT(total concentration ofCmEn) range of 3.0–5.0 mM forC12E23and 10–20 mM forC18E20, fail to obey pseudophase micellar (PM) model. The values of the fraction of near irreversibleCmEnmicellar trapped1molecules (FIT1) vary in the range ~0–0.75 forC12E23and ~0–0.83 forC18E20under such conditions. The values ofFIT1become 1.0 at ≥10 mMC12E23and 50 mMC18E20. Kinetic analysis of the observed data at ≥10 mMC12E23shows near irreversible micellar entrapment of1molecules under such conditions.

The speciation of mixed butyrylglycerols (glycerol butyrates) and propanediol butyrate esters in the product mix from lamb pregastric lipase-catalysed hydrolysis of tributyrylglycerol and propane-1,2-diol dibutyrate has been examined by 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy. Samples from the quenched reaction mixture were extracted and allowed to stand in emulsion systems made up in bis tris propane buffer or water, pH 7·0, and in the absence of enzyme. There is clear evidence of uncatalysed conversion of rac-1,2-dibutyrylglycerol into the 1,3-isomer to form an equilibrium mixture containing c. 60–67% 1,3-isomer, and of conversion of propane-1,2-diol 1-butyrate into propane-1,2-diol 2-butyrate to form an equilibrium mixture containing c. 67% 2-monoester. Conversion kinetics to reach equilibrium are first order. Rate constants for acyl transfer of the diacylglycerol are 0·48 h-1 (in water) and 0·68 h-1 (in buffer) at 50°C, while those for acyl transfer of the 1-monoester are 0·72 h-1 (50°C) and 0·35 h-1 (35°C).

The kinetics of the reaction of the tetrakis(1-methylpyridium-4-yl)porphyrin tetracation, [ H 2( TMPyP )]4+, with gold(III) ions were studied along with equilibria of gold(III) species in aqueous medium at 25°C, I = 0.10 M ( NaNO 3). The equilibrium constants for the formation of [ AuCl 4-n( OH ) n ]- ( n = 0,…,4), defined as β n = [ AuCl 4- n ( OH ) n ]- [ Cl -] n / [ AuCl 4-][ OH -] n were found to be that log β1 = 7.94 ± 0.03, log β2 = 15.14 ± 0.03, log β3 = 21.30 ± 0.05 and log β4 = 26.88 ± 0.05. The overall reaction was first order with respect to each of the total [ Au (III)] and [ H 2 TMPyP 4+]. On the basis of pH dependence on rate constants and the hydrolysis of gold(III), the rate expression can be written as d [ Au ( TMPyP )5+]/ dt = ( k 1[ AuCl 4-] + k2[ AuCl 3( OH )-] + k3[ AuCl 2( OH )2-] + k4[ AuCl ( OH )3-])[ H 2 TMPyP 4+], where k1, k2, k3 and k4 were found to be (2.16 ± 0.31) × 10-1, (6.56 ± 0.19) × 10-1, (1.07 ± 0.24) × 10-1, and (0.29 ± 0.21) × 10-1 M -1. s -1, respectively. The kinetic data revealed that the trichloromonohydroxogold(III) species, [ AuCl 3( OH )]-, is the most reactive. The higher reactivity of [ AuCl 3( OH )]- is explained by hydrogen bonding formation between the hydroxyl group of [ AuCl 3( OH )]- and the pyrrole hydrogen atom of [ H 2( TMPyP )]4+. Furthermore, applying the Fuoss equation to the observed rate constants at different ionic strengths, the apparent net charge of [ H 2( TMPyP )]4+ was calculated to be +3.5.

First-order rate constants for the solvolysis of benzyl chloride in a series of aqueous acetone and aqueous dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) mixtures at 50.100 °C and at various pressures in the range 1–4083 atm are reported. Volume of activation, calculated from the rate/pressure data, is found to exhibit extremum behavior with varying solvent composition in both solvent systems. The activation volumes are dissected into their initial state and transition state contributions by determining the "instantaneous" volumes of solution of benzyl chloride in the solvent systems. The contributions of both the initial state and the transition state to the behavior of the activation volume as a function of solvent composition are discussed.

The electrochemistry of ruthenium(III) penta- and tetraammine chloro complexes has been investigated. In each case, the ruthenium(III) species was found to undergo an initial one electron reduction step, followed by hydrolysis of the chloride(s) in the ruthenium(II) product. The rate constants for the substitution steps were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. An aqueous 0.30 M methane sulfonate electrolyte of pH 2.0 was used at 25 °C.Values for the reversible "E1/2" (V υs. SCE) and first order rate constants for the (stepwise) replacement of the Cl− are: Ru(NH3)5Cl+, −0.282 V and 17 s−1; cis-Ru(NH3)4Cl2+, −0.328 V, 80 s−1, and 5 s−1; trans-Ru(NH3)4Cl2+, −0.412 V, 2 s−1, and 0.4 s−1.The electrochemistry of Ru(NH3)5SO22+was also investigated. In a 0.10 M CH3SO3H – 0.20 M CH3SO3Na electrolyte the ruthenium(II) species was found to undergo an initial one electron oxidation step with "E1/2" = +0.50 V, followed by a slow hydrolysis of the SO2 in the ruthenium(III) product with k = 2.4 × 10−2 s−1 at 25 °C.
