The kinetics of the inhibition of the autoxidation of tetralin by 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol, phenol, and 4-methoxyphenol have been investigated at 65 °C. The highly hindered 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol follows simple first order kinetics and exhibits a normal deuterium isotope effect (kH/kD = 10). The kinetics with phenol are complicated by the fact that the phenoxy radical can abstract a hydrogen atom from both tetralin and its hydroperoxide. This leads to oxidation rates which are inversely proportional to the square root of the phenol concentration. The deuterium isotope effect has about the value to be expected in view of this square root relation. The kinetics with 4-methoxyphenol result from chain transfer and from chain termination by the coupling of 4-methoxyphenoxy radicals. The isotope effect varies between zero and a value that approaches the upper limit of about 10 at low inhibitor concentrations.

4-Nitrophenylnitromethane reacts with 2,7-dimethoxy-1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene in acetonitrile in a bimolecular proton transfer, which shows a primary deuterium isotope effect, kH/kD = 12.2 at 25 °C. The large isotope effect on the enthalpy of activation, (ΔHD≠ – ΔHH≠) = 4.6 ± 0.3 kcal mol−1 is consistent with a significant contribution of proton tunnelling to the reaction rate of the protium substrate.The analogous reaction of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane with the same base in acetonitrile gives contrasting kinetics and reaction parameters. The reaction is first order, showing no dependence on base concentration. While the isotope effect kH/kD = 9.3 at 25 °C, the enthalpy of activation difference (ΔHD≠ – ΔHH≠) is only 0.5 ± 0.1 kcal mol−1. It is concluded that the 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane undergoes a slow dissociation, with a very small dissociation constant, followed by a fast association with the base to yield the carbanion ion-pair.

The kinetics of the oxidation of naphthalene by ruthenium tetroxide have been investigated. When the reaction was monitored using an absorption band at 385 nm it was possible to detect two processes; the first, a rapid second-order reaction which yielded a ruthenium(VI) moiety, was followed by a much slower first-order decomposition of this intermediate. The initial reaction exhibited an inverse isotope effect when naphthalene-d8 was used as a substrate and was accelerated by the introduction of electron donating substituents. The decomposition of the intermediate was not sensitive to the presence of substituents, but involved carbon–hydrogen bond cleavage as indicated by the occurrence of a primary deuterium isotope effect.

The kinetics of oxidation of methyl orange by vanadium(V) {V(V)} has been investigated in the pH range 2.3-3.79. In this pH range V(V) exists both in the form of decavanadates and VO2+. The kinetic results are distinctly different from the results obtained for the same reaction in highly acidic solution (pH < 1) where V(V) exists only in the form of VO2+. The reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to methyl orange but the rate has very little dependence on total vanadium concentration. The reaction is accelerated by H+ ion but the dependence of rate on [H+] is less than that corresponding to first order dependence. The equilibrium between decavanadates and VO2+ explains the different kinetic pattern observed in this pH range. The reaction is markedly accelerated by Triton X-100 micelles. The rate-[surfactant] profile shows a limiting behavior indicative of a unimolecular pathway in the micellar pseudophase.

A comparative study of chemical stability of terfenadine (TER) and itsin vivometabolite fexofenadine (FEX) was performed. Both TER and FEX were subjected to high temperature at different pH and UV/VIS light at different pH and then quantitatively analyzed using new validated LC-UV methods. These methods were used to monitor the degradation processes and to determine the kinetics of degradation for both the compounds. As far as the effects of temperature and pH were concerned, FEX occurred more sensitive to degradation than TER. As far as the effects of UV/VIS light and pH were concerned, the both drugs were similarly sensitive to high doses of light. Using all stress conditions, the processes of degradation of TER and FEX followed the first-order kinetics. The results obtained for these two antihistaminic drugs could be helpful in developing their new derivatives with higher activity and stability at the same time.

We previously showed, during quasi-steady-state exposures, that the rate of inhaled NO2 uptake displays reaction-mediated characteristics (J. Appl. Physiol. 68: 594–603, 1990). In vitro kinetic studies of pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) demonstrated that NO2 interfacial transfer into ELF exhibits first-order kinetics with respect to NO2, attains [NO2]-dependent rate saturation, and is aqueous substrate dependent (J. Appl. Physiol. 71: 1502–1510, 1991). We have extended these observations by evaluating the kinetics of NO2 gas phase disappearance in isolated ventilating rat lungs. Transient exposures (2–3/lung at 25 degrees C) employed rebreathing (NO2-air) from a non-compliant continuously stirred closed chamber. We observed that 1) NO2 uptake rate is independent of exposure period, 2) NO2 gas phase disappearance exhibited first-order kinetics [initial rate (r*) saturation occurred when [NO2] > 11 ppm], 3) the mean effective rate constant (k*) for NO2 gas phase disappearance ([NO2] < or = 11 ppm, tidal volume = 2.3 ml, functional residual capacity = 4 ml, ventilation frequency = 50/min) was 83 +/- 5 ml/min, 4) with [NO2] < or = 11 ppm, k* and r* were proportional to tidal volume, and 5) NO2 fractional uptakes were constant across [NO2] (< or = 11 ppm) and tidal volumes but exceeded quasi-steady-state observations. Preliminary data indicate that this divergence may be related to the inspired PCO2. These results suggest that NO2 reactive uptake within rebreathing isolated lungs follows first-order kinetics and displays initial rate saturation, similar to isolated ELF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In an effort to introduce N,N-dichloroarylsulphonamides of different oxidising strengths, four mono- and five di-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides are prepared, characterised and employed as oxidants for studying the kinetics of oxidation of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) in 50% aqueous acetic acid. The reactions show first order kinetics in [oxidant], fractional to first order in [DMSO] and nearly zero order in [H+]. Increase in ionic strength of the medium slightly increases the rates, while decrease in dielectric constant of the medium decreases the rates. The results along with those of the oxidation of DMSO by N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamide and N,N-dichloro-4- methylbenzenesulphonamide have been analysed. Effective oxidising species of the oxidants employed in the present oxidations is Cl+ in different forms, released from the oxidants. Therefore the introduction of different substituent groups into the benzene ring of the oxidant is expected to affect the ability of the reagent to release Cl+ and hence its capacity to oxidise the substrate. Significant changes in the kinetic and thermodynamic data are observed in the present investigations with change of substituent in the benzene ring. The electron releasing groups such as CH3 inhibit the ease with which Cl+ is released from the oxidant, while electron-withdrawing groups such as Cl enhance this ability. The Hammett equation, log kobs = −3.19 + 1.05 σ , is found to be valid for oxidations by all the p-substituted N,N-dichlorobenzenesulphonamides. The substituent effect on the energy of activation, Ea and log A for the oxidations is also analysed. The enthalpies and free energies of activation correlate with an isokinetic temperature of 320 K.
