Primary Problem

AbstractActivated diffusion of water between macromolecules in swollen cellulose is accompanied by anomalously high kinetic isotope effects of oxygen. The separation factor of heavy-oxygen water (H218O /H216O) is thousands of permilles instead of tens of permilles according to modern Absolute Rate Theory. This anomalous separation under usual conditions is disguised by the opposing process of very fast equalization to equilibrium through water-filled cellulose pores. This process is quicker by approximately 3 orders of magnitude than diffusion through the cellulose body. As a consequence, this opposition-directed equalization virtually eliminates the results of isotope separation. To reveal this anomaly it is necessary to suppress equalization, which was the primary problem for both discovery of this anomaly and its investigation. The method of investigating the anomalous separation in cellulose was developed with suppression of this negative influence. Discussion of the theoretical nature of the anomalous kinetic isotope effect is presented. This theoretical study would probably permit the discovery and use for isotope separation of the anomalously high isotope effect for other chemical elements, in particular, for those heavier than oxygen.

Intramolecular Forces

The secondary β-deuterium isotope effects have been measured in the water solvolytic reaction of alkyl halides and sulphonates for primary, secondary, and tertiary species. In every case the kinetic isotope effect was greater than unity (kH/kD > 1). This isotope effect may be associated with varying degrees of hyperconjugation or altered non-bonding intramolecular forces. The experiments make it difficult to decide which effect is most important.

A series of specifically deuterated syn-7-chloro-, anti-7-chloro-, syn-7-bromo-, and anti-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylates have been prepared and solvolyzed in NaOAc-buffered 80:20 EtOH–H2O. For solvolysis at 25 °C the γ-kinetic isotope effects (KIE's) for syn-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (1e), anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (2c), syn-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (1f), anti-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (2d), syn-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo,exo-5,6-d2 (1g), anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo,exo-5,6-d2 (2e) are 1.125 ± 0.007, 1.128 ± 0.005, 1.063 ± 0.008, 1.149 ± 0.020, 1.119 ± 0.011, and 1.115 ± 0.013, respectively. There is no detectable γ-kinetic isotope effect for solvolysis of anti-7-chloro-endo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d(3a) and the β-KIE for anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo-3-d(4a) is 1.111 ± 0.011. From a consideration of the possible sources of the unusually large secondary KIE's, we conclude that the exo-6-d and endo-6-d γ-KIE's likely are derived from a combination of effects rather than from participation of the C1—C6 bond in the ionization step.

We determined the kinetic isotope effect on the serine hydroxymethyltransferase reaction (SHMT), which provides important C1 metabolites that are essential for the biosynthesis of DNA bases, O-methyl groups of lignin and methane. An isotope effect on the SHMT reaction was suggested being responsible for the well-known isotopic depletion of methane. Using the cytosolic SHMT from pig liver, we measured the natural carbon isotope ratios of both atoms involved in the bond splitting by chemical degradation of the remaining serine before and after partial turnover. The kinetic isotope effect 13(VMax/Km) was 0.994 0.006 and 0.995 0.007 on position C-3 and C-2, respectively. The results indicated that the SHMT reaction does not contribute to the 13C depletion observed for methyl groups in natural products and methane. However, from the isotopic pattern of caffeine, isotope effects on the methionine synthetase reaction and on reactions forming Grignard compounds, the involved formation and fission of metal organic bonds are likely responsible for the observed general depletion of “activated” methyl groups. As metal organic bond formations in methyl transferases are also rate limiting in the formation of methane, they may likely be the origin of the known 13C depletion in methane.

The aqueous ethanolysis reactions of adamantylideneadamantyl tosylate, -bromide, and -iodide (1-OTs, 1-Br and 1-I) were monitored as a function of ionic strength. Special salt effects are observed during the solvolyses of both homoallylic halides, but not in the case of the tosylate 1-OTs. The measured α-secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects for the solvolysis of 1-Br in 80:20 and 60:40 v/v ethanol–water mixtures at 25 °C are 1.110 ± 0.018 and 1.146 ± 0.009, respectively. The above results are consistent with the homoallylic halides reacting via a virtual transition state in which both formation and dissociation of a solvent-separated ion pair are partially rate-determining. While the corresponding transition state for adamantylideneadamantyl tosylate involves formation of the solvent-separated ion pair.Key words: salt effects, kinetic isotope effect, internal return, solvolysis, ion pairs.

By monitoring the effect of deuterium decoupling on the decay of transverse 15N magnetization in D–15N spin pairs during multiple-refocusing echo sequences, we have determined fast D–D exchange rates kD and compared them with fast H–H exchange rates kH in tryptophan to determine the kinetic isotope effect as a function of pH and temperature.
