The kinetics of bromination of six substituted styrènes (3-fluoro-, 3-chloro-, 3-bromo-, 3,4-dichloro-, 3-nitro-, and 4-nitro-) in anhydrous acetic acid have been investigated at several temperatures. At 25.3 °C the reactions follow the rate expression [Formula: see text]The rate constants for the second order process show a good linear free energy relationship of the log k versus σ type with ρ = − 2.24. (The value obtained at 35.3 °C is − 1.93.) No simple rate-substituent dependence is obtained for the more complex third order process. Activation parameters have been obtained for the second order brominations, the ΔS≠ values being large and negative. Bromination of styrene in the presence of a large excess of acetate or nitrate gives only two products in each case, the α,β-dibromide and the α –acetoxy β-bromide or α -nitrato- β -bromide respectively.The magnitude of the reaction constant ρ, the values of ΔS≠, and the reaction products all support a mechanism involving a highly unsymmetrical bromonium ion intermediate.

A detailed kinetic analysis of the oxidation of mono-substituted mandelates catalysed by L-(+)-mandelate dehydrogenase (L-MDH) from Rhodotorula graminis has been carried out to elucidate the role of the substrate in the catalytic mechanism. Values of Km and kcat. (25 degrees C, pH 7.5) were determined for mandelate and eight substrate analogues. Values of the activation parameters, delta H++ and delta S++ (determined over the range 5-37 degrees C), for mandelate and all substrate analogues were compensatory resulting in similar low values for free energies of activation delta G++ (approx. 60 kJ.mol-1 at 298.15 K) in all cases. A kinetic-isotope-effect value of 1.1 +/- 0.1 was observed using D,L-[2-2H]mandelate as substrate and was invariant over the temperature range studied. The logarithm of kcat. values for the enzymic oxidation of mandelate and all substrate analogues (except 4-hydroxymandelate) showed good correlation with Taft's dual substituent constant omega (where omega = omega I + 0.64 omega +R) and gave a positive reaction constant value, rho, of 0.36 +/- 0.07. This linear free-energy relationship was verified by analysing the data using isokinetic methods. These findings support the hypothesis that the enzyme-catalysed reaction proceeds via the same transition state for each substrate and indicates that this transition state is relatively nonpolar but has an electron-rich centre at the alpha-carbon position.

The excess acidity method has been used to analyse the hydration kinetics of the phenylacetylenes Y-C6H4-C≡C-Z in aqueous sulfuric acid mixtures; Z = CF3 (1), H (2), COC6H4-X (3), and CO2H (4). All substrates gave acetophenone-type products consistent with the normal hydration mechanism involving rate-determining vinyl cation formation. Standard-state log k0 intercepts, and m≠m* slopes, were both used in linear free energy relationship plots against the substituent σ+ values. Solvent isotope effects and activation parameters were obtained in some cases. The deactivating Z substituents in 1, 3, and 4 all cause reaction to be some 100 times slower than that of the parent phenylacetylene 2. Compounds 2,3, and 4 all have ρ+ values of about −3.8, but 1 is more substituent sensitive, with a ρ+ of −5.3. A σ+ value of 0.38 is calculated for the CF3C≡C substituent. The ρ+ values were found to be acidity independent for 1 and 2, and probably for 3, but not for 4. Proton transfer at the transition state was found to be most advanced for the fastest reaction, that of 2, contrary to intuition.

A set of equilibrium constants for aldol condensations of acetaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, and acetic acid as nucleophiles and formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, and acetophenone as carbonyl acceptors has been evaluated. The four values determined, directly or indirectly, by experiment have been augmented by values calculated from thermo-chemical data and equilibrium constants for enone hydration, and by estimation of free energies of formation of the reaction products by use of hypothetical disproportionation reactions. When the carbonyl nucleophiles are compared to other nucleophiles which can add to carbonyl compounds, it is found that they can be incorporated in the linear free energy relationship of Sander and Jencks, with γ values of 0.45 for acetaldehyde, 0.16 for acetone, 0.05 for acetophenone, and 3.56 for acetic acid. These results make it possible to predict the equilibrium constants for any of a large number of aldol condensations from the equilibrium constant for the addition of any nucleophile to the carbonyl accepter compound.

The kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1-(phenoxycarbonyl)pyridinium ions, prepared with the essentially non-nucleophilic/non-basic fluoroborate as the counterion, have been studied using up to 1.60 M methanol in acetonitrile as solvent and under solvolytic conditions in 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) and its mixtures with water. Under the non- solvolytic conditions, the parent and three pyridine-ring-substituted derivatives were studied. Both second-order (first-order in methanol) and third-order (second-order in methanol) kinetic contributions were observed. In the solvolysis studies, since solvent ionizing power values were almost constant over the range of aqueous TFE studied, a Grunwald–Winstein equation treatment of the specific rates of solvolysis for the parent and the 4-methoxy derivative could be carried out in terms of variations in solvent nucleophilicity, and an appreciable sensitivity to changes in solvent nucleophilicity was found.

The ultraviolet spectroscopy method has been applied to study the kinetics of the ozone reactions with nitrogenous bases (NB), namely adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions. At the first research stage, the range of NB working concentrations has been determined. It was found that linear dependences between optical densities and concentrations of nitrogenous bases aqueous solutions are quite reliable, with correlation coefficients r ≥ 0.998, are satisfied up to [NB] = 2.3 ∙ 10–4 mol/l. According to the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law, adenine and cytosine extinction coefficients in aqueous solutions were determined and subsequently used to calculate their residual concentrations. At the next stage, the kinetics of nitrogenous bases ozonized oxidation was studied with equal initial concentrations of the starting substances ([NB]0 = [О3]0). The results revealed that the kinetic consumption curves of the starting reagents are fairly well linearized (r ≥ 0.996) in the second-order reaction equation coordinates. As found with the bubbling installation, 1 mol of the absorbed ozone falls on 1 mol of the used NB. Thus, the reactions of ozone with adenine and cytosine explicitly proceed according to the second-order kinetic laws (the first – according to О3 and the first – according to NB). The rate constants were calculated by the integral reaction equations, the values of which indicate a higher ozone reactivity in relation to nitrogen bases. The temperature dependences of the second-order rate constants was studied ranging 285-309 K, and the activation parameters (pre-exponential factors and activation energies) of the ozone reactions with adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions were determined.

AbstractAlkoxysilanes and organoalkoxysilanes are primary materials in several industries, e.g. coating, anti-corrosion treatment, fabrication of stationary phase for chromatography, and coupling agents. The hydrolytic polycondensation reactions and final product can be controlled by adjusting the hydrolysis reaction, which was investigated under a variety of conditions, such as different alkoxysilanes, solvents, and catalysts by using gas chromatography. The hydrolysis rate of alkoxysilanes shows a dependence on the alkoxysilane structure (especially the organic attachments), solvent properties, and the catalyst dissociation constant and solubility. Some of the alkoxysilanes exhibit intramolecular catalysis. Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the enhancement of the hydrolysis reaction, as well as the dipole moment of the alkoxysilanes, especially in acetonitrile. There is a relationship between the experimentally calculated polarity by the Taft equation and the reactivity, but it shows different responses depending on the solvent. It was found that negative and positive charges are respectively accumulated in the transition state in alkaline and acidic media. The reaction mechanisms are somewhat different from those previously suggested. Finally, it was found that enthalpy–entropy compensation (EEC) effect and isokinetic relationships (IKR) are exhibited during the hydrolysis of CTES in different solvents and catalysts; therefore, the reaction has a linear free energy relationship (LFER).

AbstractThe linear free energy relationship log k = sN(N + E) (eq. 1), in which E is an electrophilicity, N is a nucleophilicity, and sN is a nucleophile-dependent sensitivity parameter, is a reliable tool for predicting rate constants of bimolecular electrophile-nucleophile combinations. Nucleophilicity scales that are based on eq. (1) rely on a set of structurally similar benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+) as reference electrophiles. As steric effects are not explicitely considered, eq. (1) cannot unrestrictedly be employed for reactions of bulky substrates. Since, on the other hand, the reactions of tritylium ions (Ar3C+) with hydride donors, alcohols, and amines were found to follow eq. (1), tritylium ions turned out to be complementary tools for probing organic reactivity. Kinetics of the reactions of Ar3C+ with π-nucleophiles (olefins), n-nucleophiles (amines, alcohols, water), hydride donors and ambident nucleophiles, such as the anions of 5-substituted Meldrum’s acids, are discussed to analyze the applicability of tritylium ions as reference electrophiles.

The kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of L-valine by permanganate in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength has been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between permanganate and L-valine in alkaline medium exhibits 2:1 stoichiometry (KMnO4:L-valine). The reaction shows first-order dependence on the concentration of permanganate and ruthenium(III) and less than unit-order dependence on the concentrations of L-valine and alkali. The reaction rate increases both with an increase in ionic strength and a decrease in solvent polarity of the medium. Initial addition of reaction products did not significantly affect the rate. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between catalyst and substrate has been proposed. The activation parameters were computed with respect to the slowest step of the mechanism.Key words: oxidation, L-valine, catalysis, ruthenium(III), kinetics.
