It has been found that the condensation rate of 1-amino-4-bromoanthraquinone-2-sulphonic acid (I) with 1,3-diaminobenzene-4-sulphonic acid (II) giving 1-amino-4-(3'-amino-4'-sulphoanilino)anthraquinone-2-sulphonic acid (III) in media of NaHCO3-CO2 and NaHCO3-Na2CO3 with catalysis by CuI obeys the kinetic relation *u = k[I][II][Cu+][CO2-3], being controlled by the kinetic relation *u = k[I][II][Cu+]2[PO3-4] in media of NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4 buffers. The suggested reaction mechanism presumes formation of a bifunctional catalyst CuCO-3 or Cu2PO-4 which splits off the proton and bromide anion from the reaction intermediate in the rate-limiting step.

Kolbe electrolysis has been proposed an efficient electrooxidation process to synthesize (un)symmetrical dimers from biomass-based carboxylic acids. However, the reaction mechanism of Kolbe electrolysis remains controversial. In this work, we develop a DFT- based microkinetic model to study the reaction mechanism of Kolbe electrolysis of acetic acid (CH3COOH) on both pristine and partially oxidized Pt anodes. We show that the shift in the rate-determining step of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on Pt(111)@α-PtO2 surface from OH* formation to H2O adsorption gives rise to the large Tafel slopes, i.e., the inflection zones, observed at high anodic potentials in experiments on Pt anodes. The activity passivation as a result of the inflection zone is further exacerbated in the presence of Kolbe species (i.e., CH3COO* and CH3*). Our simulations find the CH3COO* decarboxylation and CH3* dimerization steps determine the activity of Kolbe reaction during inflection zone. In contrast to the Pt(111)@α-PtO2 surface, Pt(111) shows no activity towards Kolbe products as the CH3COO* decarboxylation step is limiting throughout the considered potential range. This work resolves major controversies in the mechanistic analyses of Kolbe electrolysis on Pt anodes: the origin of the inflection zone, and the identity of the rate limiting step.

The effect of acids on the decomposition of 3-methyl-1,3-diphenyltriazene has been studied in aqueous ethanol (40% (v/v) ethanol). The dependences found between the rate constant and acid concentration have been analyzed by means of non-linear regression using models including the specific and general catalysis and formation of associates between the substrate and the buffer components. The substrate has been found to form electrostatic associates with the conjugated base of acid. The complex formed is decomposed with the assistance of the proton or a general acid in the rate-limiting step to form the product. The Bronsted coefficient α = 0.81 has been found. Investigation of the activation parameters supports the earlier conclusions, indicating a dependence between the reaction mechanism and composition of the aqueous organic solvent.

Present Experimental Evidence

Cytochrome cd1 nitrite reductase is a haem-containing enzyme responsible for the reduction of nitrite into NO, a key step in the anaerobic respiratory process of denitrification. The active site of cytochrome cd1 contains the unique d1 haem cofactor, from which NO must be released. In general, reduced haems bind NO tightly relative to oxidized haems. In the present paper, we present experimental evidence that the reduced d1 haem of cytochrome cd1 from Paracoccus pantotrophus releases NO rapidly (k=65–200 s−1); this result suggests that NO release is the rate-limiting step of the catalytic cycle (turnover number=72 s−1). We also demonstrate, using a complex of the d1 haem and apomyoglobin, that the rapid dissociation of NO is largely controlled by the d1 haem cofactor itself. We present a reaction mechanism proposed to be applicable to all cytochromes cd1 and conclude that the d1 haem has evolved to have low affinity for NO, as compared with other ferrous haems.

The reaction kinetics of acetamide O-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)oxime have been studied in aqueous buffers at pH 2-11. At pH > 9, the pH dependence of kobs is linear with slope 1, the cyclisation to 3-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-one and 4-nitrophenol being the only reaction. At pH < 7.5, the only reaction is the hydrolysis giving 4-nitrophenol and acetamidoxime. The dependence of kobs on pH has been used to determine the rate equation and to propose the reaction mechanism. The cyclisation kinetics of substituted benzamide O-(phenoxycarbonyl)oximes have been studied in the pH range from 9.25 to 11. The reaction mechanism has been proposed based on the ρ constants found. In the first reaction step, the proton is split off from the NH2 group; the subsequent, rate-limiting step involves simultaneous N-C bond formation and C-O bond splitting.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.
