The acid-catalysed hydrolysis of ditert.-butylsuccinate in dioxane-water mixtures proceeds via consecutive first-order reactions. The rate constants kI and kII corresponding to the two steps decrease with increasing dioxane content of the medium. After reaching a minimum at 90% (w/w) dioxane, both rate constants increase again with further addition of dioxane. The kinetic ratio kI/kII is smaller than the statistical value 2.0, and is markedly affected both by solvent composition and temperature. The maximum concentration of the intermediate half ester decreases with increasing dioxane content. The observed activation energies EI and EII of the two steps of the reaction are largely dependent on temperature as well as solvent composition indicating a mixed type of bond fission represented by the AAl 1 and AAC 2 mechanisms, whose relative contributions in the overall rate constants kI and kIIcould be calculated on the basis of the number of water molecules incorporated in the corresponding transition states. The effect of bulk dielectric constant on the reaction rate was investigated in the light of the available electrostatic theories and showed the reaction to be an ion-molecular dipole type of interaction. The activation thermodynamic parameters were computed and discussed as criteria of solvent effect and mechanism.

Abstract The specific rate constants k1 and k2 of the consecutive first-order acid-catalysed hydrolysis steps of diethylsuccinate in dioxane-water mixtures covering the range 0-95% (w/w) of dioxane are determined at 25-55 °C. As the concentration of dioxane increases, the rate of the reaction decreases to a minimum at about 90% (w/w) dioxane, after which it increases again. The ratio k1/k2 was found to be almost constant at the value 2.0. The activation energies of the reaction are independent of solvent composition. Available electrostatic theories regarding the effect of the dielectric constant on the rate are presented, from which the reaction is shown to be an ion-molecular dipole type of interaction. The thermodynamic parameters and the radii of the activated complex at different solvent compositions are calculated and discussed.

Kinetic And Thermodynamic Study

A kinetic study of the acid-hydrolysis of diethylmalonate in water and dioxane-water mixtures covering the range 0-95% (w/w) of dioxane is reported. The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the organic content of the medium up to about 80% (w/w) then, after passing through a minimum, it becomes directly proportional as the dioxane cosolvent is further added. The kinetic ratio k1/k2 is independent of the solvent composition. The observed activation energies, thermodynamic parameters and radii of the activated complexes along the whole range of solvent composition, for the two consecutive steps of the reaction, are computed. Electrostatic theories favour an interaction in which an ion and a molecular dipole are involved. Application of the reactivity-selectivity principle (RSP) to the present reaction in comparison with that for diethylsuccinate. under different conditions of temperature and solvent composition, is presented.

The hydrolyses of methane- and ethanesulphonyl chlorides in aqueous acetone and aqueous dioxan, in the range 0.2-1.0 mole fraction of water, follow an SN2 mechanism. The first-order rate constants at low temperature go through a maximum as the composition of the solvent approaches pure water and there is a marked retardation at other temperatures. There is strong evidence that the nature of the transition complex is changing as the solvent composition is changed. The data arising from the use of an extended range of solvent composition have invalidated earlier discussions of the nature of this reaction.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

First order rate constants of the reaction of a series of SH-, imidazole- and imidazole/SH-compounds with FDNB as well as their pH- and temperature dependence were determined. Some of the tested imidazole/SH-compounds exhibit a higher nucleophilic reactivity as is expected on the basis of their pKSH-values. This enhanced reactivity is caused by an activation of the SH-groups by a neighbouring imidazole residue. The pH-independent rate constants were calculated using the Lindley equation.The kinetics of DNP-transfer from DNP-imidazole to SH-compounds were investigated. The pH-dependence of the reaction displays a maximum curve. Donor in this reaction is the DNP-imidazolecation and acceptor the thiolate anion.The reaction rate of FDNB with imidazole derivatives is two to three orders of magnitude slower than with SH-compounds.No inter- or intra-molecular transfer of the DNP-residue from sulfure to imidazole takes place.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

The values of pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) for alkaline hydrolysis of1, obtained at 1.0 mM NaOH and withinCmEnT(total concentration ofCmEn) range of 3.0–5.0 mM forC12E23and 10–20 mM forC18E20, fail to obey pseudophase micellar (PM) model. The values of the fraction of near irreversibleCmEnmicellar trapped1molecules (FIT1) vary in the range ~0–0.75 forC12E23and ~0–0.83 forC18E20under such conditions. The values ofFIT1become 1.0 at ≥10 mMC12E23and 50 mMC18E20. Kinetic analysis of the observed data at ≥10 mMC12E23shows near irreversible micellar entrapment of1molecules under such conditions.

The hydrolysis of benzene, p-toluene, p-bromobenzene, and p-nitrobenzene sulphonyl chlorides in 10-60 wt. % water-dioxan and water-acetone has been shown to follow an SN2 mechanism. The reaction does not show acid catalysis or any " salt " effect. Hammett?s equation does not describe fully the effects of substituents on the reaction rate. For solutions in which water has the same molarity, aqueous acetone gives lower rates than aqueous dioxan when the molarity of water is high but higher rates when the molarity of water is low. Change in the water content of the solvent produces only small changes in the enthalpy of activation except in solutions of low dielectric constant. The reduction in rate as solutions become less aqueous is mainly determined by the entropy of activation becoming more strongly negative.

Kinetics of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl)-induced unfolding of human prostatic acid phosphatase (hPAP), a homodimer of 50 kDa subunit molecular mass was investigated with enzyme activity measurements, capacity for binding an external hydrophobic probe, 1-anilinonaphtalene-8-sulfonate (ANS), accessibility of thiols to reaction with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and 2-(4'-maleimidylanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonate (MIANS) and ability to bind Congo red dye. Kinetic analysis was performed to describe a possible mechanism of hPAP unfolding and dissociation that leads to generation of an inactive monomeric intermediate that resembles, in solution of 1.25 M GdnHCl pH 7.5, at 20 degrees C, in equilibrium, a molten globule state. The reaction of hPAP inactivation in 1.25 M GdnHCl followed first order kinetics with the reaction rate constant 0.0715 +/- 0.0024 min(-1) . The rate constants of similar range were found for the pseudo-first-order reactions of ANS and Congo red binding: 0.0366 +/- 0.0018 min(-1) and 0.0409 +/- 0.0052 min(-1), respectively. Free thiol groups, inaccessible in the native protein, were gradually becoming, with the progress of unfolding, exposed for the reactions with DTNB and MIANS, with the pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants 0.327 +/- 0.014 min(-1) and 0.216 +/- 0.010 min(-1), respectively. The data indicated that in the course of hPAP denaturation exposure of thiol groups to reagents took place faster than the enzyme inactivation and exposure of the protein hydrophobic surface. This suggested the existence of a catalytically active, partially unfolded, but probably dimeric kinetic intermediate in the process of hPAP unfolding. On the other hand, the protein inactivation was accompanied by exposure of a hydrophobic, ANS-binding surface, and with an increased capacity to bind Congo red. Together with previous studies these results suggest that the stability of the catalytically active conformation of the enzyme depends mainly on the dimeric structure of the native hPAP.
