Apparent rate constants for the tert-butoxide promoted Claisen-like condensation of a series of N1-acetyl-N6-aroyl-2,5-dithio-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils (9a–9f) to give N1-(3′-aroyl-3′-oxopropionyl)-2,5-dithio-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils (10a–10f) were determined by UV spectroscopy. Overall rate accelerations of 3.5- to 18-fold were found relative to the corresponding reactions of the 2,5-dioxo compounds (7a–7f). Analysis of the Hammett plot for 9 and comparison with that for 7 shows that the key C—C bond-forming step, where the enolate of the acetyl group of the substrate attacks the aroyl carbonyl group, is accelerated by the thio substitution. For electron-withdrawing substituents in the aroyl group, the acceleration is sufficient to make this step nonrate limiting: the Hammett ρ value drops from approx. 1.5 for electron-donating groups to 0.27 for electron-withdrawing groups. Deuterium substitution in the acetyl group reduces the rate slightly, a result consistent with a slow but partially reversible first step in which substrate is deprotonated. A similar acceleration and isotope effect are found when diacetyl glycoluril (2) and diacetyl dithio glycoluril (5) are compared. The implications of these results are discussed.Key words: glycoluril, Claisen condensation, kinetics, mechanism.

Measurements are reported on the kinetics of the lysozyme-catalysed hydrolysis of several β-aryl di-N-acetylchitobiosides, some of which have been synthesized for the first time. The catalytic rate constants (kcat.) at 45° yield a curved Hammett plot (concave up) and the plot of ΔH‡ versus ΔS‡ has a sharp break. Substrates with electron-withdrawing groups exhibit a kinetic deuterium isotope effect (kHcat./kDcat.), whereas those with electron-donating groups show no such isotope effect. The results suggest the operation of different mechanisms for the two types of substrates.

Hydrogen abstraction by CF3 radicals from CH3COOCH3 and CD3COOCH3 has been studied in the temperature range 78-242°, and data have been obtained for the reactions: CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+[C3H5O2] �������������(3) CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+CH2COOCH3������������ (4) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3D+CD2COOCH3������������ (6) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3H+CD3COOCH2������������ (7) The corresponding rate constants, based on the value of 1013.36 cm3 mol-1 S-1 for the recombination of CF3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk3 = (11.52�0.05)-(35430�380)/19.145T ���� (3)logk4 = (11.19�0.07)-(34680�550)/19.145T ���� (4)logk6 = (11.34�0.06)-(46490�490)/19.145T ���� (6)logk7 = (11.26�0.05)-(36440�400)/19.145T ���� (7)At 400 K, 59% of abstraction occurs from the acetyl group, and 41 % from the methoxy group. The kinetic isotope effect at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group is 25, due mainly to a difference in activation energies.

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.

Rate constants of base-catalyzed methanolysis and dissociation constants in methanol have been determined for benzoylthiourea (II), 1,3-diacetylthiourea (III), 1,3-dibenzoylthiourea (IV), and 1-acetyl-3-benzoylthiourea (V). With the diacyl derivatives III and IV, the reaction of methoxide ion with the neutral substrate is accompanied by that of methoxide with the substrate anion (at higher alkoxide concentrations). Above 0.1 mol l-1 CH3O(-), the rate constants are also affected by medium. The rate of the reaction of neutral diacyl derivative is decreased, and that of the reaction of methoxide with the substrate anion is rapidly increased. The dissociation constant of II is higher than that of acetylthiourea (I) by about one order of magnitude, but the attack of methoxide on the carbonyl group of II is about three times slower than that in I. The benzoyl group at the N1 nitrogen exhibits a greater activating influence (in both the rate and the equilibrium constants) on the other NHCOR group than the acetyl group does. With V the ratio of methanolysis rate constants is 9 : 1 in favour of the acetyl group. The reaction of diacetyl derivative III with 1-butanamine has been followed in butanamine buffers. At the lowest butanamine concentrations, the reaction is second order in the amine, and the rate-limiting step is the proton transfer from the intermediate to the second amine molecule. At the highest butanamine concentrations the reaction becomes first order in the amine, and the rate-limiting step changes to the attack of butanamine on the carbonyl group of diacetyl derivative III.

Oxidation of the methoxycarbonylhydrazone of p-methoxyacetophenone affords both the cis- and trans-2-acetoxy-2-methoxy-5-(p-methoxyphenyl)-5-methyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines (also known as corresponding 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazoles) as well as methyl 1-acetoxy-1-(p-methoxyphenylethyl)diazenecarboxylate. The three isomers were separated and identified by spectroscopic means. Methyl 1-acetoxy-1-(p-methoxyphenylethyl)diazenecarboxylate is the major product from oxidation in dichloromethane. Oxidation in acetic acid did not afford the oxadiazolines but gave the diazenecarboxylate and, in addition, 1-(p-methoxyphenyl)ethyl acetate. Attempts to isomerize the diazenecar boxylate to the oxadiazolines by acid catalysis were not successful. Thermolysis of the oxadiazolines at 50.4 °C occurred with approximately the same rate constant (ca. 3.6 × 10–5 s–1) to afford acetoxy(methoxy)carbene, which rearranges to methyl pyruvate by acetyl transfer. The carbene, which reacts with relatively unhindered isocyanates to transfer the methoxy carbonyl group to carbon and the acetyl group to nitrogen, can be considered an acyl anion equivalent in that reaction.Key words: acetoxy(methoxy)carbene, diazene, oxadiazoline, isocyanate, (acetylamino)oxoacetate.

The Claisen-like condensation of a series of 1-arylacetyl-6-acetyl-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils (Ar = Ph, p-OMeC6H4, and p-ClC6H4) was studied in preparative experiments and by analysis of kinetic data. The reactions proceeded in virtually quantitative yield and were highly regioselective: the corresponding N-(2′-aryl-3′-ketobutanoyl)-3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycolurils were obtained in all cases, with none of the 4′-aryl regioisomers being detected. Clean bimolecular kinetics were observed for each conversion using UV spectroscopy. Reaction rates followed the order Ar = p-OMeC6H4 < Ph < p-ClC6H4. The results are explained by a mechanism in which the deprotonation of the substrates is rate-limiting; thus, deprotonation of the arylacetyl groups is favoured. The ensuing enolate reacts rapidly in the C–C bond-forming step.Key words: glycoluril, biomimetic, Claisen condensation, regioselectivity, kinetics, mechanism, substituent effects.

The rates of conversion of C6H5C≡COCH3 to C6H5CH2CO2CH3 were measured in dilute HClO4/H2O, DCIO4/D2O, and H3PO4–H2PO2−/H2O buffer solutions, and the rates of conversion of C6H5C≡CSCH3 to C6H5CH2COSCH3, C6H5C≡CH to C6H5COCH3, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2C≡CH to 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2COCH3, and p-CH3OC6H4C≡CCH3 to p-CH3OC6H4COCH2CH3 were measured in concentrated HClO4/H2O solutions, all at 25 °C. The reaction of C6H5C≡COCH3 showed general acid catalysis and gave the isotope effect [Formula: see text], which indicates that it proceeds through rate-determining proton transfer from catalyst to substrate. The hydronium ion catalytic coefficient for this reaction is [Formula: see text], and those for the other four, in the order given above, are [Formula: see text], and 8.5 × 10−6 M−1 s−1. Relative reactivities based on these rate constants are discussed.

Experimental and AM1 calculational studies of the deprotonation of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,5-dione and bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-dione: a study of homoconjugation, inductive, and steric effects on the rates and diastereoselectivities of α enolization

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. Keywords: enolization, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,5-dione, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-dione, AM1, thermodynamic acidities.

A study of hydrogen abstraction by CH3 radicals from CH3COOCH3 in the temperature range 116-224°, and from CD3COOCH3 in the range 117-234°, has yielded data on the reactions: CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + [C3H5O2] (4) CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH2COOCH3 (5) CH3 + CH3COOCH3 → CH4 + CH3COOCH2 (6) CH3 + CD3COOCH3 → CH3D + CD2COOCH3 (7) The corresponding rate constants, based dn the value of 1013.34 cm3 mol-1 s-1 for the recombination of CH3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk4 = (11.56 ± 0.12) - (44430 ± 970)/19.145T (4) logk5 = (11.17 ± 0.22) - (42900 ± 1760)/19.145T (5) logk6 = (11.44 ± 0.16) - (46980 ± 1290)/19.145T (6) logk7 = (11.39 ± 0.04) - (52110 ± 330)/19.145T (7) At 400 K, 64% of abstraction occurs from the acetyl group, and 36% from the methoxy group. The kinetic isotope effect at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group is 9.6; this is mainly due to a difference in activation energies since the quotient of A factors is close to unity.

In the E2 reaction of the monofluoro compound, the crown ethers caused no change in the kinetic order and only small changes in the second-order rate constants and activation parameters. The primary deuterium isotope effect was also unaltered by the presence of crown ethers.For the (E1cB)R reaction of the trifluoro compound, no change in kinetic order was found, but slightly larger rate constant changes and an increase in the isotope effect from kH/kD = 1.0 to 1.25 at 25 °C was observed. This is interpreted as an alteration in mechanism from (E1cB)R towards (E1cB)I.
