An equal mixture of monodeuterated isotopomers of maleylacetone, viz., 4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2,4-heptadienoic-2-d1 acid (1) and 4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2,4-heptadienoic-3-d1 acid (2) was synthesized and subjected to catalyzed cis-trans isomerization by the maleylacetoacetate cis-trans isomerase-glutathione system. These studies were designed to probe the detailed mechanism of enzyme-catalyzed cis-trans isomerization about the C-2—C-3 bond of the substrate. In the competitive reaction, 2 accumulates with respect to 1 at high extent of reaction. 1H NMR analysis indicates that 1 reacts 15% faster than 2 in line with a nucleophilic addition mechanism at C-2 rather than a conjugate addition mechanism at C-2 and C-3, to convert the C-2—C-3 double bond to a single bond to allow facile internal rotation.Key words: enzyme-catalyzed cis-trans isomerization, secondary α-deuterium isotope effect, maleylacetoacetate cis-trans isomerase, cis-trans isomerization mechanism.

The temperature dependence of the rate of hydrolysis of α-bromoisobutyrate ion in water was determined over a temperature range 9–37 °C. From these data corresponding values of ΔH≠, ΔS≠, and ΔCP≠ have been derived. The implication of these terms, together with corresponding data for hydrolysis in D2O and for the secondary deuterium isotope effect from the hydrolysis of (CD3)2CBrCOO−, provide a basis for reexamining the detailed mechanism with particular reference to accompanying solvent reorganization.
