Cristobalite is formed when initially amorphous Pyrex borosilicate glass (Corning 7740) is fired at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 °C. The sigmoidal devitrification kinetics of cristobalite obeys Avrami-like three-dimensional diffusion-controlled kinetics. Activation energy analysis indicates that the diffusion of Na+ in the glass is the rate-limiting step during phase transformation. The above conclusion is further confirmed by calculated and measured results of linear growth rates.

Saturation-transfer or lineshape measurements of kinetics of proton exchange show that HZ of ethyl acetimidate in 46% H2SO4 or ethyl N-methylformimidate in 40% H2SO4 exchanges faster than HE, and HE of protonated 2-iminotetrahydrofuran exchanges faster than HZ, as expected on the basis of the stabilities of the stereoisomeric imidate esters. In contrast, amide exchange is too fast to measure in aqueous H2SO4, but can be measured in 100% H2SO4, where HE and HZ exchange at equal rates. Also, there is intramolecular exchange occurring at this same rate. These results are interpreted as evidence for exchange in amides via the N-protonated intermediate, whose lifetime in H2SO4 is sufficiently long to permit the protons on nitrogen to become equivalent. By comparing OH exchange with NH exchange, it is concluded that N-protonation is the rate-limiting step. Even though this is a thermodynamically favorable proton transfer in H2SO4, its rate constant is significantly lower than the diffusion-controlled limit. The contrasts between imidate esters and amides and between dilute solutions and H2SO4 are discussed.

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.

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.
