AbstractThe kinetics of base hydrolysis of glycine, histidine, and methionine methyl esters in the presence of [Pd(pip)(H2O)2]2+ complex, where pip is piperazine, is studied in aqueous solutions, at T = 25°C, and I = 0.1 mol dm−3. The rate of ester hydrolysis for glycine methyl ester is studied at different temperature and dioxane/water solutions of different compositions. The kinetic data are fit under the assumption that the hydrolysis proceeds in one step. The activation parameters for the base hydrolysis of the complexes are evaluated

The saponification rates (measured at 25 ° by a titrimetric method) of the unprotonated forms of the methyl esters of glycine, alanine, leucine, valine, and phenylalanine were compared with those of the N-methyl, the N-acetyl, and the N-acetyl, N-methylamino acid analogues. N-Acetylation slightly increased or decreased the rate but N-methylation caused a reduction by as much as a factor of ten, depending on the complexity of the side-chain. The esters of the N-acetyl, N-methylamino acids, which exist as cis and trans isomers, were saponified at rates intermediate between those of the esters of the N-acetylamino acids and N-methylamino acids. Activation parameters were obtained for the phenylalanine and leucine derivatives. N-Methylation resulted in an increase in ΔH≠ and ΔS≠ which was attributed in part to solvation effects. The hydrolysis of the cationic esters of glycine and alanine was still evident at pH 11.0. N-Methylation had little effect on the rates of saponification of the charged forms.
