The rates of hydrolysis of sodium tetrametaphosphate and tetraphosphate (in the presence of tetrametaphosphate) have been measured at 65.5 °C. over the pH range 2.5 to 13.3. Tetrametaphosphate anions hydrolyze to tetraphosphate which in turn hydrolyzes to triphosphate and orthophosphate and not to pyrophosphate. Thus the terminal oxygen bridges in the tetraphosphate and not the central one are attacked preferentially. The reactions were first order and acid catalyzed. The tetrametaphosphate hydrolysis was also base catalyzed with a minimum rate in solutions of pH approximately 7.5. The rate of hydrolysis of tetraphosphate was greater than triphosphate at the hydrogen ion concentrations studied. Hydrolysis of a sodium phosphate glass indicated that preferential attack on terminal oxygen bridges takes place also with higher polymers. However, trimetaphosphate is formed at the same time.

The rates of hydrolysis of sodium pyrophosphate and triphosphate in solution have been measured at 65.5 °C. over the pH range 2.0 to 12.0 and the phosphorus concentration range 0.10 to 0.25 atomic weights per liter. The reactions were found to be first order providing a constant concentration of hydrogen ion was maintained in the reaction flask. Both reactions are acid catalyzed but only the hydrolysis of triphosphate was found to be base catalyzed. Pyrophosphate and triphosphate apparently hydrolyze independently of each other.

The course of hydrolysis of an ester, 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid catalyzed with poly(1-methyl-3-allylimidazolium bromide) (IIa), poly[l-methyl-3-(2-propinyl)imidazolium chloride] (IIb) and poly[l-methyl-3-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)imidazolium bromide] (IIc) in a 28.5% aqueous ethanol was investigated as a function of pH and compared with low-molecular weight models, viz., l-methyl-3-alkylimidazolium bromides (the alkyl group being methyl, propyl, and hexyl, resp). Polymers IIb, IIc possessed a higher activity at pH above 9, while the models were more active at a lower pH with a maximum at pH 7.67. The catalytic activity at the higher pH is attributed to an attack by the OH- group, while at the lower pH it is assigned to a direct attack of water on the substrate. The rate of hydrolysis of 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid is proportional to the catalyst concentration [IIc] and proceeds as a first-order reaction. The hydrolysis depends on the composition of the solvent and was highest at 28.5% (vol.) of ethanol in water. The hydrolysis of a neutral ester, 4-nitrophenyl acetate, was not accelerated by IIc.

Investigation of fish enzymes for leather bates reveals that those of the pyloric caeca show their greatest influence on casein and collagen at hydrogen ion concentrations of approximately pH 8. The protease showed its maximum activity towards casein at a temperature of 45 °C. Ammonium salts at certain concentrations increased the rate of hydrolysis of collagen by about 40 per cent, but had no like stimulating effect on the hydrolysis of casein. A comparison showed that pyloric caeca enzymes were just as satisfactory as commercial leather bates or hog pancreas. When the pyloric caeca are allowed to autolyse at room temperature, the protease activity is constant for the first 24 hours, declines rapidly during the next 80 hours, and slowly thereafter. The most suitable method for preparing a dried preparation was by evaporation under partial vacuum, which, however, is accompanied by some loss of activity.

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetophenone dimethyl acetal (ADMA) and trimethyl orthobenzoate (TMOB) is retarded by cyclodextrins (CDs): α-CD, β-CD, hb-β-CD = "hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin", and γ-CD. The observed first order rate constants (kobs) vary with [CD] in the manner expected for 1:1 binding between the substrates and the CDs. Similar behaviour was found recently for the hydrolysis of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal (BDMA). With β-CD and hp-β-CD, the binding of all three substrates (BDMA, ADMA, TMOB) is strong and the CD-bound forms have very little reactivity. By contrast, substrate binding by α-CD is much weaker, and the CD-bound forms have appreciable, though reduced, reactivity. Substrate binding by γ-CD is also relatively weak, but the bound substrates have very low reactivities. The hydrolysis reactions of ADMA, TMOB, and BDMA have been evaluated as kinetic probes of the binding of guests to CD hosts. For α-CD, β-CD, and hp-β-CD, the addition of guests reduces the amount of free CD and thereby alleviates retardation of the hydrolysis by the CD. The resultant increases in hydrolysis rates can be analyzed to provide estimates of CD-guest dissociation constants, KG. For aliphatic alcohols and ketones binding to β-CD and hp-β-CD, all three probe reactions provide values of KG that agree well with each other and with literature values determined by other methods. The approach does not work well with α-CD because of its much weaker binding of the kinetic probes and their less pronounced dependence of kobs on [α-CD]. In the case of γ;-CD, the approach cannot be used because added guests cause a further lowering in the rate of hydrolysis, suggesting the formation of an unreactive ternary (substrate·CD·guest) complex.Key words: acetal, hydrolysis, cyclodextrin, host-guest, binding.

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 acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the nine-membered ring cyclic vinyl ether, oxacyclonon-2,8-diene, occurs with a normal isotope effect, [Formula: see text], which indicates that this reaction proceeds by the conventional vinyl ether hydrolysis mechanism involving rate-determining proton transfer to carbon. The specific rate of this reaction, [Formula: see text], may then be used to show that there is no significant ring-size effect on the rate of hydrolysis of a vinyl ether group in a nine-membered ring. The previously noted unusually great reactivity of the vinyl ether group in 9-methoxyoxacyclonon-2-ene, for which an unorthodox reaction mechanism has been claimed, must therefore be due to some other cause.

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl isonitrile has been examined. The initial hydrolysis product is N-methylformamide which is further hydrolyzed to methyl amine and formic acid at a much slower rate. The hydrolysis to N-methylformamide is pseudo-first order in methyl isonitrile and shows a linear rate dependence on concentration of general (buffer) acid at fixed pH. The significance of general acid-catalysis in terms of the mechanism of the hydrolysis is considered and taken as evidence for carbon protonation rather than nitrogen protonation as the initiating step.

The rates of reaction of halide ions with ethylene oxide in neutral aqueous solution and the rate of hydrolysis of ethylene oxide in acid solution have been measured and the activation energies determined. From these data and from the ratio of glycol to chlorohydrin formed when ethylene oxide reacts with excess aqueous hydrogen halide, the rates of the acid-catalyzed addition of halide ions to ethylene oxide at 25 °C. have been estimated.

First-order rate coefficients and energies and entropies of activation have been determined for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a number of methyl D-glycopyranosides and disaccharides. The relation between the logarithm of the rate coefficients and values for Hammett's acidity function was linear, although different for different acids. All compounds had entropies of activation indicating a unimolecular reaction mechanism. Glucosides of tertiary alcohols were hydrolyzed very rapidly, triethylmethyl β-D-glucopyranoside, for example, 30,000 times taster than the corresponding methyl compound.Increase in size of the aglycone caused a slight increase in the rate of hydrolysis of β-D-glucopyranosides, steric hindrance thus being of no significance. Electron-attracting substituents in the aglycone had little or no influence on the rate of hydrolysis, obviously because they would tend to lower the equilibrium concentration of the conjugate acid, while facilitating the subsequent heterolysis, the two opposing effects more or less cancelling out. These results were discussed in connection with recent studies on the acid hydrolysis of various phenyl glycopyranosides and with reference to the postulated occurrence of an activating inductive effect in oligo- and poly-saccharides containing carboxyl or other electronegative groups at C-5. It was concluded that there is little evidence for the existence of any such effect and that, for example, pseudoaldobiouronic acids should be hydrolyzed at the same rate as corresponding neutral disaccharides.

The hydrolysis of the model compound 2-O-methyl-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetyl-α-d-neuraminic acid and neuraminidase (Vibrio cholerae) closely resembled that of the O-acetylated sialic acid residues of rabbit Tamm–Horsfall glycoprotein. This confirmed that O-acetylation was responsible for the unusually slow rate of acid hydrolysis of O-acetylated sialic acid residues observed in rabbit Tamm–Horsfall glycoprotein and their resistance to hydrolysis by neuraminidase. The first-order rate constant of hydrolysis of 2-methyl-N-acetyl-α-d-neuraminic acid by 0.05m-H2SO4 was 56-fold greater than that of 2-O-methyl-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetyl -α-d-neuraminic acid. Kinetic studies have shown that in the pH range 1.00–3.30, the observed rate of hydrolysis of 2-methyl-N-acetyl-α-d-neuraminic acid can be attributed to acid-catalysed hydrolysis of the negatively charged CO2− form of the methyl ketoside.
