Kinetics of oxidation of 1- and 2-acetylnaphthalenes by iodate in the presence of sulphuric acid in aqueous methanol has been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to both [iodate] and [acetylnaphthalene]. Solvent effect indicates a cation-dipole type of interaction in the rate limiting step. A mechanism is proposed with a slow attack of IO2+ on enol form of acetylnaphthalene forming an intermediate carbonium ion, which ultimately gives corresponding ω-hydroxyacetylnaphthalene. The higher reactivity of 2-acetyl isomer is attributed to the greater stability of the corresponding carbonium ion than that of 1-acetyl isomer.

1. The kinetics of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol by NAD+, catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, were studied at 25 degrees C from pH 5.5 to 10, and at pH 7.05 from 14 degrees to 44 degrees C, 2. Under all conditions studied the results are consistent with a mechanism whereby some dissociation of coenzyme from the active enzyme-NAD+-alcohol ternary complexes occurs, and the mechanism is therefore not strictly compulsory order. 3. A primary 2H isotopic effect on the maximum rates of oxidation of [1-2H2]butan-1-ol and [2H7]propan-2-ol was found at 25 degrees C over the pH range 5.5-10. Further, in stopped-flow experiments at pH 7.05 and 25 degrees C, there was no transient formation of NADH in the oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol. The principal rate-limiting step in the oxidation of dependence on pH of the maximum rates of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol is consisten with the possibility that histidine and cysteine residues may affect or control catalysis.

1. The kinetics of oxidation of ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol by NAD+ and of reduction of acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde by NADH catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase were studied. 2. Results for the aldehyde–NADH reactions are consistent with a compulsory-order mechanism with the rate-limiting step being the dissociation of the product enzyme–NAD+ complex. In contrast the results for the alcohol–NAD+ reactions indicate that some dissociation of coenzyme from the active enzyme–NAD+–alcohol ternary complexes must occur and that the mechanism is not strictly compulsory-order. The rate-limiting step in ethanol oxidation is the dissociation of the product enzyme–NADH complex but with the other alcohols it is probably the catalytic interconversion of ternary complexes. 3. The rate constants describing the combination of NAD+ and NADH with the enzyme and the dissociations of these coenzymes from binary complexes with the enzyme were measured.

The kinetics of oxidation of diethyl ether (DE) with sodium N-chloro-p-toluenesulphonamide (CAT) in hydrochloric acid solution has been studied at (313°K).The reaction rate show a first order dependence on [CAT] and fractional order dependence on each [DE] and [H+] .The variation of ionic strength of the medium has no significant effect on the reaction rate , addition of p-toluenesulphonamide (p-TSA) affects the reaction rate marginally the rate increased with decreasing dielectric constant of the medium , the stochiometry of the reaction was found to be 1:2 and oxidation products were identified , A Michaelis – Menten type mechanism has been suggested to explain the results.The equilibrium and the decomposition constants of CAT – diethyl ether complex have been evaluated. Thermodynamic parameters were computed by studying reaction at temperatures range ( 308 – 323°K) for the rate limiting step and for the observed first order constants by the linear Arrhenius plot. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law are consistent with observed kinetics.

Kinetics of hydrochloric acid-catalyzed solvolysis of substituted phenyl and methyl N-phenylbenzimidoesters have been studied in methanol, 50 vol. % aqueous methanol, and 50 vol. % aqueous tetrahydrofurane, and the composition of the reaction products has been determined. The rate-limiting step consists in addition of water or methanol to the protonated substrate. The reaction of methyl N-phenylbenzimidoester with both water and methanol and that of substituted phenyl N-phenylbenzimidoesters with methanol produce aniline, the ester (or orthoester) and the corresponding phenol. The reaction of substituted phenyl N-phenylbenzimidoesters with water gives both the neutral tetrahedral intermediate (which is decomposed into phenol and anilide) and the protonated intermediate (which produces aniline and the ester). At the same proton concentration the phenol content increases with increasing value of the σ constant of the substituent.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.

The cyclization kinetics of N-(2-methylcarbonylphenyl)-N’-methylsulfonamide (IIb) into 3-methyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (Ib) has been studied in ethanolamine, morpholine, and butylamine buffers and in potassium hydroxide solution. The cyclization is subject to general base and general acid catalysis. The value of the Bronsted coefficient β is about 0.1, which indicates that splitting off of the proton from negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate represents the rate-limiting and thermodynamically favourable step. In the solutions of potassium hydroxide the cyclization of dianion of the starting ester IIb probably becomes the rate-limiting step.

The reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzene with 2,3-butanedione is subject to general acid catalysis in acetate and phosphate buffers (pH 4-7). The rate-limiting step of formation of 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline consists in the protonation of dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. In the case of the reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzene with ethyl 2-oxopropanoate, the dehydration of carbinolamine gradually becomes rate-limiting with increasing pH in acetate buffers, whereas in phosphate buffers a new reaction pathway makes itself felt, viz. the formation of amide catalyzed by the basic buffer component and by hydroxide ion.
