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.

Kinetic study of organic reactions, especially multistep catalytic reactions, is crucial to in-depth understanding of reaction mechanisms. Here we report our kinetic study on the chiral disulfonimide-catalyzed cyanosilylation of an aldehyde, which revealed that two molecules of TMSCN are involved in the rate-determining C–C bond-forming step. In addition, the apparent activation energy, enthalpy of activation, and entropy of activation were deduced through a study of the temperature dependence of the reaction rates. More importantly, a novel and efficient method that makes use of the progress rates was developed to treat kinetic data obtained by continuous monitoring of the progress of a reaction by in situ FTIR.

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.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of substituted 5-oxoacids by sodium perborate in aqueous acetic acid medium have been studied. The reaction exhibits first order both in [perborate] and [5-oxoacid] and second order in [H+]. Variation in ionic strength has no effect on the reaction rate, while the reaction rates are enhanced on lowering the dielectric constant of the reaction medium. Electron releasing substituents in the aromatic ring accelerate the reaction rate and electron withdrawing substituents retard the reaction. The order of reactivity among the studied 5-oxoacids is p-methoxy ≫ p-methyl > p-phenyl > –H > p-chloro > p-bromo > m-nitro. The oxidation is faster than H2O2 oxidation. The formation of H2BO3+ is the reactive species of perborate in the acid medium. Activation parameters have been evaluated using Arrhenius and Eyring’s plots. A mechanism consistent with the observed kinetic data has been proposed and discussed. Based on the mechanism a suitable rate law is derived.

Protic and aprotic solvent effects on the reactivity of picolinic, nicotinic and isonicotinic acid, as well as of some substituted nicotinic acids with diazodiphenylmethane (DDM) were investigated. In order to explain the kinetic results through solvent effects, the second-order rate constants for the reaction of the examined acids with DDM were correlated using the Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic equation. The correlations of the kinetic data were carried out by means of the multiple linear regression analysis and the solvent effects on the reaction rates were analyzed in terms of the contributions of the initial and the transition state. The signs of the equation coefficients support the already known reaction mechanism. The solvatation models for all the investigated acids are suggested and related to their specific structure.

The putative first intracellular and third extracellular linkers are known to play important roles in defining the transport properties of the type IIa Na+-coupled phosphate cotransporter (Kohler, K., I.C. Forster, G. Stange, J. Biber, and H. Murer. 2002b. J. Gen. Physiol. 120:693–705). To investigate whether other stretches that link predicted transmembrane domains are also involved, the substituted cysteine accessibility method (SCAM) was applied to sites in the predicted first and fourth extracellular linkers (ECL-1 and ECL-4). Mutants based on the wild-type (WT) backbone, with substituted novel cysteines, were expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and their function was assayed by isotope uptake and electrophysiology. Functionally important sites were identified in both linkers by exposing cells to membrane permeant and impermeant methanethiosulfonate (MTS) reagents. The cysteine modification reaction rates for sites in ECL-1 were faster than those in ECL-4, which suggested that the latter were less accessible from the extracellular medium. Generally, a finite cotransport activity remained at the end of the modification reaction. The change in activity was due to altered voltage-dependent kinetics of the Pi-dependent current. For example, cys substitution at Gly-134 in ECL-1 resulted in rate-limiting, voltage-independent cotransport activity for V ≤ −80 mV, whereas the WT exhibited a linear voltage dependency. After cys modification, this mutant displayed a supralinear voltage dependency in the same voltage range. The opposite behavior was documented for cys substitution at Met-533 in ECL-4. Modification of cysteines at two other sites in ECL-1 (Ile-136 and Phe-137) also resulted in supralinear voltage dependencies for hyperpolarizing potentials. Taken together, these findings suggest that ECL-1 and ECL-4 may not directly form part of the transport pathway, but specific sites in these linkers can interact directly or indirectly with parts of NaPi-IIa that undergo voltage-dependent conformational changes and thereby influence the voltage dependency of cotransport.

Rate constants for the reaction of diazodiphenylmethane with cyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acid and 2-methylcyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acid were determined in nine aprotic solvents, as well as in seven protic solvents, at 30?C using the appropriate UV-spectroscopic method. In protic solvents the unsubsituted acid displayed higher reaction rates than the methyl-substituted one. The results in aprotic solvents showed quite the opposite, and the reaction rates were considerably lower. In order to explain the obtained results through solvent effects, reaction rate constants (k) of the examined acids were correlated using the total solvatochromic equation of the form: log k=logk0+s?*+a?+b?, where ?* is the measure of the solvent polarity, a represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond donor acidities (HBD) and b represents the scale of the solvent hydrogen bond acceptor basicities (HBA). The correlation of the kinetic data were carried out by means of multiple linear regression analysis and the opposite effects of aprotic solvents, as well as the difference in the influence of protic and aprotic solvents on the reaction of the two examined acids with DDM were discussed. The results presented in this paper for cyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic and 2-methylcyclohex-1-enylcarboxylic acids were compared with the kinetic data for benzoic acid obtained in the same chemical reaction, under the same experimental conditions.

The present paper describes the kinetics of oxidation of l-Arginine by QDC in the presence of perchloric acid in 30% DMF-H O(v/v) medium at 2 + 40⁰C spectrophotometrically at λ =354nm. The reaction is rst order with respect to [QDC], [H ], and [substrate]. The reaction rate increased with max increasing volume percentage of DMF in reaction mixture. Michaelis- Menten type kinetic was observed with l-Arginine. The reaction rates were studied at different temperature and the activation parameters has been computed. The main product was identied as Cr (III) and 4-Guanidino buteraldehyde.
