The reaction of ethyl 3-oxobutanoate with N-methylthiourea in alkoxide medium gives a mixture (1 : 20) of 1,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil and 3,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil: the latter isomer has been isolated from the mixture and the former isomer has been prepared by independent synthesis. Dissociation constants of ethyl 2-alkyl-3-oxobutanoates (alkyl = methyl, butyl, or isopropyl) have been measured in methanol. Reaction of these esters with thiourea and N-methylthiourea gives the corresponding alkyl derivatives of 6-methyl-2-thiouracil. Kinetics of these reactions have been measured in methoxide medium. Effects of the alkyl groups on the reaction rates have been investigated, and a reaction mechanism is suggested.

Kinetics of saccharose fermentation by Kombucha is not yet well defined due to lack of knowledge of reaction mechanisms taking place during this process. In this research kinetics of saccharose fermentation by Kombucha was analysed using the suggested empirical model. The data were obtained on 1.5 g L-1 of black tea, with 66.47 g L-1 of saccharose and using 10% (v/v) or 15% (v/v) of Kombucha. Total number of viable cells was as follows: approximately 5x105 of yeast cells per mL of the inoculum and approximately 2x106 of bacteria cells per mL of the inoculum. The samples were analysed after 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 days. Their pH values and contents of saccharose, glucose, fructose, total acids and ethanol were determined. A saccharose concentration model was defined as sigmoidal function at 22oC and 30oC, and with 10% (v/v) and 15% (v/v) of inoculum quantity. Determination coefficients of the functions were very high (R2>0.99). Reaction rates were calculated as first derivatives of Boltzmann?s functions. No simple correlation between rate of reaction and independent variables (temperature and inoculum concentration) was found. Analysis of empirical model indicated that saccharose fermentation by Kombucha occurred according to very complex kinetics.

A method for preparing alkyl derivatives of cage-structure compounds is proposed. It relies on the use of Grignard reactions with a high boiling point solvent. The reactions take place at atmospheric pressure. Methylation of adamantane, diamantane, and homoadamantane occurs with quantitative yield. With other primary alkyl groups, yields are better than 60%. Competition between alkylation and secondary reactions is discussed on the basis of a free radical mechanism.

ABSTRACTThe reactions taking place between coarse grained mixtures of silica (cristobalite) and carbon (graphite) at 1558°C in pure CO as well as mixtures of CO and Ar, have been subjected to a thermogravimetric investigation. A model is developed in the regime where the formation of SiC does not take place. The primary steps are assumed to be: Reaction betweefn SiO2 and CO to give SiO(g) and CO2 followed by the reaction between CO2 and C to give CO. The model predicts the prevailing partial pressure of SiO throughout the charge, and the correlation between observations and model strongly supports the above given reaction mechanism.Enhanced and accelerating reaction rates were observed when the formation of β-SiC took place. It is suggested that this is due to the continuous formation of stable SiC-nucleus on the Csurface and the subsequent shortening of the diffusion path for SiO.

Abstract We present a kinetic model for the reaction mechanism of acid-catalyzed twin polymerization. Our model characterizes the reaction mechanism not by the reactants, intermediate structures, and products, but via reaction-relevant moieties. We apply our model for three different derivatives of 2,2’-Spirobi[4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasiline] and determine activation energies, reaction enthalpies, and reaction rate constants for the reaction steps in our mechanism. We compare our findings to previously reported values obtained from density functional theory calculations. Furthermore, with this approach we are also able to follow the time development of the concentrations of the reaction-relevant moieties.

The kinetics of realgar (As2S2) oxidation was studied under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The obtained values of the activation energy indicate that the process occurs in the kinetic domainwith the realgar particles being converted to As2O3 and As4O6 (g). The very fast reaction rates were limited by the chemical reaction. The kinetic equation was found to be: ?ln (1??) = 4.56 x 103 x e(?8780/T) x t. The proposed reaction mechanism and chemical transformation investigated by ICP?AES, EDXRF and thermal analysis are discussed.
