Acid-catalyzed enolization of oxalacetic acid in H2O and D2O gives rise to a constant isotope rate effect [Formula: see text] of 2.4 over the pH (pD) range of 5.5 to 7.5. Base-catalyzed enolization of oxalacetic acid in H2O and D2O gives rise to a constant isotope rate effect [Formula: see text] of 4.5 over the pH (pD) range of 7.0 to 8.0. The percentage of enol form of oxalacetic acid was calculated to be 15.3% at pH 8.0, using the absorption of the enol form in ether at 255 mμ and the absorption of the keto form at pH 0.5 in an aqueous system. The spectrophotometric measurement of the isotope rate effect involved in the enolization of oxalacetic acid gives direct evidence for the rate-determining step in both the acid- and the base-catalyzed reactions without subsequent reactions.

The acid-catalyzed reactions of acetamide 1, N-tert-butylacetamide 2, and several p-substituted N-benzylacetamides (3 = H, 4 = CH3, 5 = OCH3, 6 = Cl, 7 = NO2) have been studied as a function of acidity and temperature over a wide range of aqueous sulfuric acid solutions (0–91%). Analysis of the reaction products and rate–acidity profiles revealed that four different mechanisms are operative over different acidity regions depending on the structure of the substrate. These are: two A-2 hydrolysis mechanisms with N-acyl fission of the substrate (with participation of one or several water molecules in the rate-determining step); A-1 hydrolysis with N-alkyl fission; and sulfonation, followed by hydrolysis. These conclusions are supported by three complementary and detailed kinetic treatments based on the hydration parameter, transition state activity coefficient, and excess acidity approaches. The acidity domains of each mechanism have been established for each substrate. The mechanistic conclusions are fully supported by the different values of ΔH‡ and ΔS‡ obtained in different regions of acidity.

3-Aryl-4-R-carbamoyl-5-hydroxymethylisoxazolines (IV) were synthesized by allowing R-NH2 amines with R = H, CH3, C3H7, C6H5C2H5, and NH2 to act on 3-(X-phenyl)-4-oxo-3a,4,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[3,4-d]isoxazoles (III) with X = H, 4-CH3, 4-OCH3, 2-OCH3, 4-Cl, 2-Cl, 4-F, 2-F, 4-Br, 4-NO2, and 3-NO2. Exposed to radiation, the substances IV give Z-2-hydroxymethylamino-2-aryl-1-formylacrylamides (V) in good yields. The 4-Cl and 4-F substituted Z-derivatives V isomerize irreversibly to the E-derivatives VI if allowed to stand in solvent; the remaining derivatives V are stable. The quantum yields of the photoreaction are from 0.012 to 0.106 in dependence on the substituent X. In all cases where the compounds IV were used for the preparation of condensed heterocycles in conditions of acid-catalyzed reactions, lactones III were preferentially formed; the action of thionyl chloride on IV results in the formation of chloromethyl derivatives VIII, which do not undergo further cyclization.

The monovalent metal salt lithium chloride promotes the decarboxylation of oxalacetic acid in ethanol. The absorption peak which appears at 230 mμ during the reaction is interpreted to be the enol form of pyruvic acid. Hydrogen chloride has a similar effect on the decarboxylation.
