The reactions of a series of methyl para-substituted phenylpropiolates 1a–e with piperidine, morpholine, and diethylamine in methanol and dimethylformamide (DMF) have been studied and their rates measured. The products were methyl β-(N,N-dialkylamino)-p-substituted cinnamates 2–4a–e. 1H NMR spectra were used to determine the configuration of the products. The ρ values in methanol ranged between 0.34 and 1.24 whereas in DMF they were between 0.85 and 1.88. The values of ΔS≠ favor a bimolecular rate-limiting step mechanism. Key words: nucleophilic addition to acetylenic esters.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.

The cyclization kinetics of N-(2-methylcarbonylphenyl)-N’-methylsulfonamide (IIb) into 3-methyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (Ib) has been studied in ethanolamine, morpholine, and butylamine buffers and in potassium hydroxide solution. The cyclization is subject to general base and general acid catalysis. The value of the Bronsted coefficient β is about 0.1, which indicates that splitting off of the proton from negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate represents the rate-limiting and thermodynamically favourable step. In the solutions of potassium hydroxide the cyclization of dianion of the starting ester IIb probably becomes the rate-limiting step.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields is employed to study the reaction kinetics of the Si(OCH3)4:CH3OH:H2O sol-gel system. Both the overall extent of reaction as a function of time and the equilibrium distribution of species are measured. In acid catalyzed solution, condensation is the rate limiting step while in base catalyzed solution, hydrolysis becomes rate limiting. A kinetic model in which the rate of hydrolysis is assumed to be independent of the adjacent functional groups is presented. This model correctly predicts the distribution of product species during the initial stages of the sol-gel reaction.

1. The kinetics of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol by NAD+, catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, were studied at 25 degrees C from pH 5.5 to 10, and at pH 7.05 from 14 degrees to 44 degrees C, 2. Under all conditions studied the results are consistent with a mechanism whereby some dissociation of coenzyme from the active enzyme-NAD+-alcohol ternary complexes occurs, and the mechanism is therefore not strictly compulsory order. 3. A primary 2H isotopic effect on the maximum rates of oxidation of [1-2H2]butan-1-ol and [2H7]propan-2-ol was found at 25 degrees C over the pH range 5.5-10. Further, in stopped-flow experiments at pH 7.05 and 25 degrees C, there was no transient formation of NADH in the oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol. The principal rate-limiting step in the oxidation of dependence on pH of the maximum rates of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol is consisten with the possibility that histidine and cysteine residues may affect or control catalysis.

Kinetics of oxidation of 1- and 2-acetylnaphthalenes by iodate in the presence of sulphuric acid in aqueous methanol has been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to both [iodate] and [acetylnaphthalene]. Solvent effect indicates a cation-dipole type of interaction in the rate limiting step. A mechanism is proposed with a slow attack of IO2+ on enol form of acetylnaphthalene forming an intermediate carbonium ion, which ultimately gives corresponding ω-hydroxyacetylnaphthalene. The higher reactivity of 2-acetyl isomer is attributed to the greater stability of the corresponding carbonium ion than that of 1-acetyl isomer.

The reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzene with 2,3-butanedione is subject to general acid catalysis in acetate and phosphate buffers (pH 4-7). The rate-limiting step of formation of 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline consists in the protonation of dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. In the case of the reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzene with ethyl 2-oxopropanoate, the dehydration of carbinolamine gradually becomes rate-limiting with increasing pH in acetate buffers, whereas in phosphate buffers a new reaction pathway makes itself felt, viz. the formation of amide catalyzed by the basic buffer component and by hydroxide ion.
