The rate coefficients for the acid-catalyzed esterification in methanol at 35.0° of fourteen 3-substituted acrylic acids have been determined. Rate coefficients have also been determined for the alkaline hydrolysis in 70% v/v dioxin–water at 18.8° of 13 methyl esters and the carbonyl-stretching frequencies of the esters have been examined. The effect of trans-substitution is assessed by use of the Hammett equation. In the alkaline hydrolysis, the transmission of polar effects is approximately 1.9 that of the meta- and para-substituted benzoates. An analysis of the steric effects in the cis-isomers in both reactions shows that the steric effects of the halogeno-substituents in the two reactions differ and an explanation is offered. The application of the Taft–Ingold equation to ortho-substituted benzoates is criticized. The carbonyl-stretching frequencies of the cis-halogeno-esters exhibit a shift of +8 cm−1 compared with the trans-isomers; this shift is attributed to an electrostatic effect.

The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane in ethanol at 30° and the acid-catalyzed esterification with methanol at 60° of a number of arylaliphatic carboxylic acids and their pKa values in 80% 2-methoxyethanol–water have been measured. Rate coefficients have also been measured for the alkaline hydrolysis in 70% dioxan–water of their 2-diethylaminoethyl esters at 45°. The pKa values and diazodiphenylmethane esterification rate coefficients were also measured for a series of 2-substituted fluorene-9-carboxylic acids. The latter results have been correlated by Hammett equations and the transmission of polar effects in fluorene is discussed. Polar and steric substituent constants are evaluated for the arylaliphatic systems. These values are used to successfully correlate the hydrolysis and ionization reactions using the Taft–Ingold equation.

The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of succinic acid monomethyl and monopropyl esters were studied in mixed aqueous-nonaqueous media at various temperatures and ionic strengths. The results of measurements are discussed in terms of electrostatic and specific interactions between the reactants and other components of the reaction mixture. The kinetic parameters in the media under study are related to the influence of the cosolvent on the solvation sphere of the reactants.

Kinetics of formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from 24 substitution derivatives of O-benzoylbenzamidoxime have been studied in sulphuric acid and aqueous ethanol media. It has been found that this medium requires introduction of the Hammett H0 function instead of the pH scale beginning as low as from 0.1% solutions of mineral acids. Effects of the acid concentration, ionic strength, and temperature on the reaction rate and on the kinetic isotope effect have been followed. From these dependences and from polar effects of substituents it was concluded that along with the cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles there proceeds hydrolysis to benzamidoxime and benzoic acid. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled by the acid-base equilibrium of the O-benzylated benzamidoximes.

Abstract The substance BK 129 - 1-[2-(2-pentyloxyphenylcarbamoyloxy)-(2-methoxymethyl)-ethyl]-perhydroazepinium chloride was prepared in terms of influence of the connecting chain between the carbamate functional group and the basic part of molecule on biological activity. Such a structural feature is important with regard to its stability. In this work we determined the rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of this compound at increased temperature under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The hydrolysis was also performed in buffer solutions with the purpose of evaluating its stability. Non-isothermal tests of stability enable to reduce the number of analyses. The necessary data for stability of compound are in this way achieved in a short time.
