Marked Enhancement

Substituted syn-benzaldoxime esters are transformed, in an alcoholic solution, to the corresponding nitriles according to first-order kinetics. All ortho substituents were observed to accelerate the rate of nitrile formation relative to the corresponding para derivative. While the ko/kp ratios for the bromo, chloro, fluoro, methoxy, and methyl substituents fall within the range of 2 to 9, the iodo and methylthio substituents are 119 and 11 000 respectively. Isotopic replacement of the aldoximino hydrogen by deuterium gives rise to a kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD being 5.21 for syn-o-chlorobenzaldoxime p-toluenesulfonate, 1.22 for syn-o-iodobenzaldoxime p-toluenesulfonate, and 1.23 for syn-o-methylthiobenzaldoxime o-iodobenzoate. The marked enhancement of rate and the absence of an appreciable isotope effect are considered to be associated with sulfur and iodine participation in the rate-determining step. A mechanism which is capable of explaining the results observed is suggested.

Thermal Decarbonylation

The thermal decarbonylation of 2,2-dimethyl-3-butenal is shown to be an intramolecular extrusion of carbon monoxide concerted with the transfer of hydrogen (deuterium) to the γ-position. The reaction displays a kinetic isotope effect of 2.8 (at 296.9 °C) and follows first order kinetics (Ea = 44.2 ± 0.2 kcal mol−1, log A = 13.4 ± 0.3).

L-Lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and L-mandelate dehydrogenase (L-MDH) from Rhodotorula graminis are both flavocytochromes b2. The kinetic properties of these enzymes have been compared using steady-state kinetic methods. The most striking difference between the two enzymes is found by comparing their substrate specificities. L-LDH and L-MDH have mutually exclusive primary substrates, i.e. the substrate for one enzyme is a potent competitive inhibitor for the other. Molecular-modelling studies on the known three-dimensional structure of S. cerevisiae L-LDH suggest that this enzyme is unable to catalyse the oxidation of L-mandelate because productive binding is impeded by steric interference, particularly between the side chain of Leu-230 and the phenyl ring of mandelate. Another major difference between L-LDH and L-MDH lies in the rate-determining step. For S. cerevisiae L-LDH, the major rate-determining step is proton abstraction at C-2 of lactate, as previously shown by the 2H kinetic-isotope effect. However, in R. graminis L-MDH the kinetic-isotope effect seen with DL-[2-2H]mandelate is only 1.1 +/- 0.1, clearly showing that proton abstraction at C-2 of mandelate is not rate-limiting. The fact that the rate-determining step is different indicates that the transition states in each of these enzymes must also be different.

Oxidized Products

We found that oxidation of cyclic ethers with the Ru porphyrin-heteroaromatic N-oxide system gave lactones or/and ring-opened oxidized products with regioselectivity. A relatively high kinetic isotope effect was observed in the ether oxidation, suggesting that the rate-determining step is the first hydrogen abstraction.

The steroid analogue 4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2(3H)-naphthalenone was hydroxylated at C-8α, C-8β, and C-4a by Rhizopusarrhizus. Similar products were obtained by peracid oxidation of the corresponding enol ethers: hydroxylation of estr-4-ene-3,17-dione by the same fungus occurred at the analogous C-6 and C-10 positions. These results are consistent with a mechanism of microbial hydroxylation involving the enol form of the Δ4-3-ketone. Data from the incubations with R. arrhizus of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione specifically labelled with deuterium at C-4, C-6α, or C-6β and from those of other deuterium labelled substrates have been interpreted in terms of a mechanism of C-β hydroxylation involving a rate-determining step before enolization of the ketone, followed by rapid enolization and oxidation of the enol to give the 6β-hydroxy-Δ4-3-ketone. The kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD, for the hydroxylation of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione at C-6β has been found to be 1.2 ± 0.1.

Ph Range

The decarboxylation of pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid in aqueous buffers at 50° and ionic strength 1.0 has been found to be first order with respect to substrate at a fixed pH. As the pH is decreased, the rate constant increases slightly in the pH range 3–1, then rises rapidly from pH 1 to 10 M HCl. The 13C-carboxyl kinetic isotope effect is 2.8% in 4 M HClO4 and negligible at pH ~ 3. These observations can be accounted for by a mechanism, previously proposed for the decarboxylation of anthranilic acid, in which the species undergoing decarboxylation is the carboxylate ion protonated at the 2-position of the pyrrole ring. This intermediate can be formed both by ring-protonation of the carboxylate anion and by ionization of the ring-protonated acid. At low acidities ring-protonation is rate determining, but at higher acidities the rate of protonation exceeds that of decarboxylation.

The oxidation of glycollic, lactic, malic and a few substituted mandelic acids by morpholinium chlorochromate (MCC) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) leads to the corresponding oxoacids. The reaction is first order each in MCC and hydroxyacid. The reaction failed to induce the polymerisation of acrylonitrile. The oxidation of α–deuteriomandelic acid shows a primary kinetic isotope effect ( kH/ kD = 5.63 at 298 K) but does not exhibit a solvent isotope effect. The reaction is catalysed by hydrogen ions according to: kobs = a + b[H+]. The oxidation of p-methyl mandelic acid has been studied in 19 different organic solvents and the solvent effect analysed using Kamlet's and Swain's multiparametric equations. A mechanism involving a hydride ion transfer via a chromate ester is proposed.

The oxidation of glycollic, lactic, u-hydroxybutyric, and 2-phenyllactic acids by aqueous bromine has been studied. The reaction is of first order with respect to the oxidant and the anion of the hydroxy acid respectively. The active oxidising species is molecular bromine. The oxidation of α,α-dideuterioglycollic acid indicated a kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD=4.62 at 25°C. The reaction does not show any appreciable solvent isotope effect. The activation parameters arc evaluated. A probable mechanism has been suggested.

The kinetics of the oxidation of aceltaldehyde by acid permanganate has been studied. The reaction is of first order with respect to the aldehyde, the oxidant and hydrogen ion individually. The oxidation does not induce polymerisation of acrylonitrile and show a kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD= 6.1). The activation parameters for the oxidation and enolisation reactions have been evaluated. The rate of enolisation, under similar conditions, is less than that of oxidation. A mechanism involving the transfer of a hydride ion from the aldehyde hydrate to the oxidant has been suggested.

Optimum Ph

Michaelis-Menten parameters for hydrolysis of seven aryl N-acetyl alpha-D-neuraminides by Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase at pH 5.0 correlate well with the leaving-group pKa (delta pK 3.0; beta 1g (V/K) = -0.73, r = -0.93; beta 1g (V) = -0.25; r = -0.95). The beta-deuterium kinetic-isotope effect, beta D2(V), for the p-nitrophenyl glycoside is the same at the optimum pH of 5.0 (1.059 +/- 0.010) as at pH 8.0 (1.053 +/- 0.010), suggesting that isotope effects are fully expressed with this substrate at the optimum pH. For this substrate at pH 5.0, leaving group 18O effects are 18(V) = 1.040 +/- 0.016 and 18(V/K) = 1.046 +/- 0.015, and individual secondary deuterium effects are beta proRD(V) = 1.037 +/- 0.014, beta proSD(V) = 1.018 +/- 0.015, beta proRD(V/K) = 1.030 +/- 0.017, beta proSD(V/K) = 1.030 +/- 0.017. All isotope effects, and the beta 1g(V/K) value are in accord with the first chemical step being both the first irreversible and the rate-determining step in enzyme turnover, with a transition state in which there is little proton donation to the leaving group, the C-O bond is largely cleaved, there is significant nucleophilic participation, and the sugar ring is in a conformation derived from the ground-state 2C5 chair. The apparent conflict between the beta 1g (V) value of -0.25 with all the kinetic-isotope-effect data can be resolved by the postulation of an interaction between the pi system of the aglycone ring and an anionic or nucleophilic group on the enzyme.
