The release of ammonia by hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-L-asparagine, glycyl-DL-asparagine, L-asparagine, and succinamic acid, and of aniline from N-benzoyl-L-glutamic-α-anilide, N-benzoyl-L-aspartic-α-anilide, L-aspartic-α-anilide, and the monoanilides of succinic and glutaric acids is first-order with respect to substrate in dilute (0.4–0.03 M) aqueous hydrochloric acid at 100 °C. The first-order rate constants (kobs) for these reactions can be expressed as kobs = kintra + k2[H+]. The above hydrolyses are used as models for developing a tentative mechanism to account for the selective release of aspartic acid from proteins under these conditions. The data are also used to suggest reasons why glutamic acid is not released with equal facility.

The behavior of N-benzoylaspartic acid and N-benzoylglutamic acid has been investigated at 100° in dilute solution in water and aqueous hydrochloric acid within the pH range 3.1–0.5. Some data are presented concerning the hydrolysis of the N-benzoyl derivatives of alanine, β-alanine, leucine, glycine, serine, and β-ethanolamine in water, 0.1 N hydrochloric acid, and 2 N hydrochloric acid. Benzoylglutamic acid undergoes a pH-independent conversion into pyrrolid-2-one-5-carboxylic acid, which then hydrolyses in mineral acid to glutamic acid; however, N-benzoylaspartic acid, under similar conditions, hydrolyses much more rapidly by a route which does not involve the corresponding lactam as an intermediate. In anhydrous alcohols the solvolysis of N-benzoylaspartic acid gives mixtures of aspartic acid and the β ester.First-order rate constants have been obtained for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of pyrrolid-2-one-5-carboxylic acid (I) and azetidin-2-one-4-carboxylic acid (II) in water over this pH range.

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 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.

Salts of one isomeric series of chlorobenzylaminebis(ethylenediamine)- cobalt-(III) type of cations have been prepared using a variety of benzylamine derivatives as ligands. They are tentatively assigned a cis-configuration on the basis of their visible spectra. The first- order rate constants for their solvolytic aquation have been measured. Both resonance contributions and steric factors from the benzyl radical, as well as inductive effects of its substituents, all have negligibly small influences on the rate of reaction. The second-order rate constants for the hydrolysis of these cations by base have also been determined. The labilizing powers of the benzylamine ligands in this reaction are very similar to those of open-chain aliphatic amines, and significantly different from those of aromatic amines. To see if reactivities depend on the distance of separation between cobalt and the benzene ring, the experiments are extended to the chloro(β- phenylethylamine)bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) type of complexes.

The two-step acidic hydrolysis of α-hydroxybenzylphosphonates and a few related derivatives was monitored in order to determine the kinetics and to map the reactivity of the differently substituted phosphonates in hydrolysis. Electron-withdrawing substituents increased the rate, while electron-releasing ones slowed down the reaction. Both hydrolysis steps were characterized by pseudo-first-order rate constants. The fission of the second P-O-C bond was found to be the rate-determining step.

Salts of one isomeric form of the chlorocycloalkylaminebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(111) series of cations have been prepared and characterized. They are tentatively assigned a cis configuration on the basis of visible absorption spectroscopy. The first-order rate constants for the solvolytic aquation of these cations have been determined at 50.5�, and the results suggest the presence of steric acceleration. The second-order rate constants for the base hydrolysis of these cations have also been determined at 0� and ionic strength of 0.1M. These results are discussed in terms of the conjugate-base/ion-pair mechanistic spectrum postulated previously.

The hydrolysis of monothioacetylacetone (4-mercaptopent-3-en-2-one) and monothiobenzoylacetone (3-mercapto-1-phenylbut-2-en-1-one) in acid solution has been studied spectrophotometrically. The half-lives were found to be 50�2 min and 124�5 min at 25� for monothioacetylacetone and monothiobenzoylacetone, respectively. The corresponding pseudo first- order rate constants are 1.39�0.05 x 10-2 and 5.59�0.14 x 10-3 min-1. The enthalpy of activation for the hydrolysis of monothiobenzoylacetone was determined as 79.5 � 4 kJ/mol.
