The kinetics of the electrophilic additions of four diarylcarbenium ions (4a-4d) to tricarbonyl(η4-cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene)iron (1) have been studied photometrically. The second-order rate constants match the linear Gibbs energy relationship log k20 °C = s(E + N) and yield the nucleophilicity parameter N(1) = 3.69. It is concluded that electrophiles with E ≥ -9 will react with complex 1 at ambient temperature.

In order to get basic data for the design of a novel treatment scheme for high explosives we investigated the kinetics for the aqueous alkaline hydrolysis of 1,3,5,7-tetraaza-1,3,5,7-tetranitrocyclooctane (HMX) and the temperature dependence of the rate constants. We used an HPLC procedure for the analysis of HMX. All experimental data could be fit accurately to a pseudo first-order rate equation and subsequent calculation of second-order rate constants was also precise. Temperature dependence could be modeled with the Arrhenius equation. An increase of 10°C led to an average increase in the second-order rate constants by the 3.16 fold. The activation energy of the second-order reaction was determined to be 111.9 ±0.76 kJ·moJ‒1. We found the alkaline hydrolysis to be rapid (less than 2.5% of the initial HMX-concentration left after 100 minutes) at base concentrations of 23 mmol oH‒/L and elevated temperatures between 60 and 80°C.

The kinetics of NaOD-catalysed H/D exchange of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexanone (1), 1-hydroxy-4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetrame-thylpiperidine (2), 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (3), 9-hydroxynorpseudopelletierine (4), and norpseudopelle-tierine-9-oxyl (5) have been studied in 60:40 dioxane–D2O(v/v) at 25.0 °C. The second-order rate constants are 9.20 × 10−3, 6.39 × 10−2, 1.59, 2.20 × 10−2, and 5.67 × 10−1 L mol−1 s−1 for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Gas-phase enthalpies of ionization (the values are 363.0, 359.4, 352.0, 360.7, and 354.1 kcal mol−1 for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively) calculated with AM1 correlate with the relative rates of enolization. Thus replacement of the β-hydroxylamino groups of 2 and 4 with a nitroxyl group produces sizable increases in the kinetic and thermodynamic acidities of the hydrogens α to the carbonyl group.

The pH-dependence of the second order rate constants of the reaction of papain with bromoacetamide in the pH-range 5,5-8,5 is described by a curve with a turning point corresponding to a pK 7,3 ± 0,1 at 25°. This is the pK of a catalytically essential imidazole residue. The activation parameters of the reaction of papain with bromoacetamide were determined. The second order rate constants at pH 7 for the reaction is 200 times greater than for the reaction of bromoacetamide with simple SH-compounds.

The kinetics of the oxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol, 2-mercaptoethylamine, and glutathione with 1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-3-oxo-1,2-benziodoxole (1) have been examined at pH 4–5.6. The reaction is second-order, which can be explained by a rate-determining step involving the reaction of one molecule of the thiol with one molecule of 1. The second-order rate constants vary in a linear manner with the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion activity. The ionic species involved in the reaction are discussed.

The kinetics of NaOD-catalyzed H/D exchange (enolization) at C3 α to the carbonyl group of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,5-dione (1) and bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-dione (2) have been studied in 60:40 (v/v) dioxane–D2O at 25.0 °C. The second-order rate constants for exchange are (9.7 ± 1.5) × 10−1 and (3.4 ± 1.2) × 10−5 L mol−1 s−1 for 1 and 2, respectively. Thus, 1, exchanges 76 times faster than bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one (3) (k = (1.27 ± 0.02) × 10−2 L mol−1 s−1), but the 2,6-dione 2 unexpectedly is much less reactive (2.7 × 10−3) than the monoketone. Unlike the large exo selectivity of 658 observed in the case of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one, small and opposite selectivities, exo (1.2) for 1 and endo (2.1) for 2, are found for the isomeric [2.2.2] ketones. The results indicate that the incipient enolate of 1 is stabilized by a polar effect of the β carbonyl group at C5, not by homoconjugation. The source of the surprising low reactivity of 2 is unknown at this stage. The small diastereoselectivities, exo (1.2) for 1 and endo (2.1) for 2, correlate with relative energies of the diastereomeric pyramidal enolates calculated with AM1.

The pH-dependences of the apparent second-order rate constants [Formula: see text] for the reduction of 2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-ol and 9-xanthydrol by each of 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNH) and 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (MAH) have been measured in 20% acetonitrile – 80% water, at 25 °C and ionic strength 1.0. For each of these reactions, the pH-dependence of [Formula: see text] is only consistent with reduction occurring via the aromatic cation (either tropylium or xanthylium) that is present in equilibrium with these alcoholic species. The relative second-order rate constants [Formula: see text] for reductions by these two reducing agents (1700 for tropylium and 770 for xanthylium) are similar for these two cations. These ratios are also similar to those observed for a variety of nitrogen heteroaromatic hydride acceptors, even though the absolute magnitudes of these rate constants vary by 1010-fold. The second-order rate constants for the reductions of the tropylium and xanthylium cations are predicted reasonably well by their [Formula: see text] values, with the latter cation being (7 × 105)-fold more reactive than its π-isoelectronic N-methyl acridinium cation. The xanthylium cation has the greatest [Formula: see text] ratio yet observed for any heteroaromatic cation, and this value further extends the known range of this ratio as a function of reactivity. Keywords: hydride transfer, kinetics of reduction, 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives, tropylium cation, xanthylium cation.

The reduction of a series of 3-W-1-methylquinolinium cations (1: W = H, Br, CONH2, CO2CH3, CN, NO2) by 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide has been investigated. In all cases the kinetically controlled product from these reactions is the appropriate 3-W-1,4-dihydro-1-methylquinoline. Only for W = Br is any significant amount of the 1,2-dihydro isomer obtained (15% in this case). This kinetic preference for C-4 attack over C-2 attack in dihydronicotinamide reductions contrasts with the kinetically preferred attack at C-2 by hydroxide ion and in borohydride reductions. Rates of reduction were measured for each 1 and also 1,2-dimethyl- and 1,4-dimethylquinolinium cations in 20% CH3CN – 80% H2O, ionic strength 1.0 at 25 °C, under pseudo-first-order conditions. Kinetic saturation due to nonproductive 1:1 complex formation was observed for several cations at high concentrations (> 0.1 M). Second-order rate constants [Formula: see text] were evaluated for each W, and also kinetic isotope effects from second-order rate constants [Formula: see text] for reduction by 1-benzyl-4,4-dideuterio-1,4-dihydronicotinamide. Second-order rate constants are correlated with σp− for W with ρ = 4.5, and are also closely correlated with [Formula: see text] for pseudobase formation at C-4 of these quinolinium cations by: [Formula: see text]. Values of [Formula: see text] vs. [Formula: see text] describe a Westheimer curve reaching a maximum of 5.8 for W = Br and falling to 1.5 for W = NO2 and 4.2 for W = H. These data are consistent with an intrinsic barrier of 2.9 ± 0.5 kcal/mol for hydride transfer between this 1,4-dihydronicotinamide and quinolinium cations. However, quinolinium cations display a dramatically enhanced rate of dihydronicotinamide reduction relative to hydroxide ion attack when compared with isoquinolinium cations. This observation, and the predominance of C-4 rather than C-2 reduction, suggests that these reactions may not be simple one-step hydride transfer processes.

The kinetics of oxidation of a series of eight N-(substituted benzyl)acridans (3, NBA's) by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), p-chloranil (CA), 2,3-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ), 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in acetonitrile (AN) and by BQ in 50:50 (v/v) AN-water were measured at 25 °C. Equilibrium constants for pseudobase formation, [Formula: see text], from the corresponding acridinium ions (4) were measured in water at 25 °C. Hammett correlations of the second-order rate constants for reaction of the NBA's without ortho substitutents (3a–e) led to ρ values of −0.29 (BQ, AN), −0.55 (CA), −0.56 (DCBQ), −0.64 (TCNQ), −0.41 (TCNE), and −0.47 (BQ, 50:50 AN–water). The second-order rate constants for 3a–e also give good linear free energy correlations with the [Formula: see text] values of 4a–e. These correlations and the [Formula: see text] values for the ortho-substituted acridinium ions (4f, g, h) are used to calculate rate constants for oxidation of the corresponding ortho-substituted NBA's (3f, g, h). The rate constants calculated in this way are 4.7 to 6.6 times and 6.4 to 12 times larger, respectively, than the observed rate constants for N-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl) and N-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)acridan (3g and h). The variations in ρ values are attributed mainly to differences in the amount of electrostatic stabilization in the transition state resulting from differences in the separation of donor and acceptor and the degree of delocalization of the negative charge. The rate retarding effect of a pair of ortho substituents is attributed to sterie effects in a preferred face-to-face transition state.
