SummarySimple hydroxamic acids such as formo- and aceto-hydroxamic acids have been proposed as suitable reagents for the separation of either Pu and/or Np from U in modified or single cycle Purex based solvent extraction processes designed to meet the emerging requirements of advanced fuel cycles. The stability of these hydroxamic acids is dominated by their decomposition through acid hydrolysis. Kinetic studies of the acid hydrolysis of formo- and aceto-hydroxamic acids are reported in the absence and the presence of Pu(IV) ions. The slow reduction of these plutonium(IV) hydroxamate complexes to Pu(III) aquo-ions has been characterised by spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry. The reductions of Pu(IV) in the presence of FHA and AHA are consistent with a mechanism in which free hydroxamic acid in solution is hydrolysed whilst Pu(IV) ions remain fully complexed to hydroxamate ligands; then at some point close to a 1 : 1 Pu(IV) : XHA ratio, some free Pu

The hydrolysis of the model compound 2-O-methyl-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetyl-α-d-neuraminic acid and neuraminidase (Vibrio cholerae) closely resembled that of the O-acetylated sialic acid residues of rabbit Tamm–Horsfall glycoprotein. This confirmed that O-acetylation was responsible for the unusually slow rate of acid hydrolysis of O-acetylated sialic acid residues observed in rabbit Tamm–Horsfall glycoprotein and their resistance to hydrolysis by neuraminidase. The first-order rate constant of hydrolysis of 2-methyl-N-acetyl-α-d-neuraminic acid by 0.05m-H2SO4 was 56-fold greater than that of 2-O-methyl-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-N-acetyl -α-d-neuraminic acid. Kinetic studies have shown that in the pH range 1.00–3.30, the observed rate of hydrolysis of 2-methyl-N-acetyl-α-d-neuraminic acid can be attributed to acid-catalysed hydrolysis of the negatively charged CO2− form of the methyl ketoside.

AbstractThe deacidification of historic paper objects has evolved into a method that is applied in mass-scale in some archives and libraries. While the impact of the deacidification reagents on paper is quite well researched, knowledge about the behavior of colours and dyes is more limited. Our study focused on the influence of paper deacidification by the Book Saver® process on eight different dyes applied on paper, as well as on the paper support itself. Accelerated ageing in moist and warm conditions (80°C, 65% relative humidity) was applied to investigate the stability of the dye layer on top of the paper, with respect to their chemical, optical and spectroscopic attributes. The Book® deacidification process increased the pH of the aqueous extract and an alkaline reserve was created. FTIR spectroscopic measurements showed that deacidification suppresses acid hydrolysis of paper. The variations in UV-Vis reflectance spectra and in total colour difference of the dye layer evidenced the changes in the structure of dyes caused by accelerated ageing, but the extent of the changes differs depending on the dye. We can conclude that some dyes are more prone to changes by deacidification than others.

The rates of hydrolysis of 22 1-acyl-2-thiohydantoins in aqueous sulfuric acid to give 2-thiohydantoin and a carboxylic acid have been determined. In 0–90% sulfuric acid, hydrolysis takes place by an A-2 mechanism, and the rate reaches a maximum in about 70% acid. In acid more concentrated than about 90%, hydrolysis takes place by an A-1 mechanism, and the rate increases monotonically. Evidence for the two mechanisms comes from Yates r and Bunnett-Olsen [Formula: see text] parameters; from entropies of activation; from pσ and pσ+ relations; and from steric effects.

Oxidation of 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucoseptanose (1a) with dimethyl sulfoxide and acetic anhydride has yielded methylthiomethyl ether (1b), ketone (2), and a novel product (3). Reduction of (2) gave (1a) and its L-ido isomer (4a) which yielded the mono-O-isopropylidene compound (5a) on aqueous acid hydrolysis. Treatment of (5a) with acidified acetone gave (4a) and 1,2:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-L- idoseptanose (7a). Reaction of (2) with methylmagnesium iodide yielded the two 5-C-methyl compounds (8) and (9). Hydrolysis of (8) and (9) gave 5-C-methyl-D-glucose (10) and 5-C-methyl-L-idose (11), respectively, as crystalline compounds which yielded crystalline pentaacetates on acetylation. Treatment of the p-toluenesulfonate (1c) with lithium benzoate in dimethylformamide gave the benzoate of (4a) and an elimination product (17). Reaction of (1c) with sodium methoxide in methanol yielded (17) and the isomeric elimination product (18).
