The 13C-carboxyl kinetic isotope effect on decarboxylation of 4-methoxyanthranilic acid has been determined in aqueous solutions of ionic strength 0.50 at 60 °C. The isotope effect, 100(k12/k13 −1), is found to be 4.2% at pH −0.3, 1.4% at pH 1.3, and zero at pH 4.0. This information makes it possible to decide between two mechanisms previously proposed in favor of the one in which both anion and neutral acid are protonated at carbon-1 of the aromatic ring but only the protonated anion decarboxylates.

The aqueous ethanolysis reactions of adamantylideneadamantyl tosylate, -bromide, and -iodide (1-OTs, 1-Br and 1-I) were monitored as a function of ionic strength. Special salt effects are observed during the solvolyses of both homoallylic halides, but not in the case of the tosylate 1-OTs. The measured α-secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects for the solvolysis of 1-Br in 80:20 and 60:40 v/v ethanol–water mixtures at 25 °C are 1.110 ± 0.018 and 1.146 ± 0.009, respectively. The above results are consistent with the homoallylic halides reacting via a virtual transition state in which both formation and dissociation of a solvent-separated ion pair are partially rate-determining. While the corresponding transition state for adamantylideneadamantyl tosylate involves formation of the solvent-separated ion pair.Key words: salt effects, kinetic isotope effect, internal return, solvolysis, ion pairs.

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.
