Abstract An accurate yet simple procedure for the determination of total cholesterol, based upon the application of a Liebermann-Burchard color reaction directly in the solvent employed for extraction of cholesterol from serum, has been described. Extraction of cholesterol and removal of protein are accomplished by means of acetic acid and acetic anhydride. Serum water is removed by the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetic anhydride. The Liebermann-Burchard color is then developed with a stable, modified reagent consisting of equal volumes of H2SO4 and acetic acid. Excellent agreement with the technic of Schoenheimer and Sperry is obtained. Equal intensities of color are produced by equivalent concentrations of free and esterified cholesterol. Preliminary saponification of cholesterol esters is therefore not required. Color development may proceed in ordinary room lighting without loss of accuracy.

The spontaneous and the acid-catalyzed hydrolyses of acetic anhydride have been measured as a function of temperature over the range 0 to 40 °C, as a function of pressure over the range 0 to 3 kb at 0 °C, and as a function of solvent over the range 0 to 70.3% w/w acetone–water at 0 °C. The results are discussed with reference to the mechanisms of the hydrolyses. The volume and entropy of activation of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis are −17.1 ± ~1.3 cm3 mole−1 and ~ −20 cal deg−1 mole−1, showing that the mechanism[Formula: see text]suggested because the rate was proportional to Hammett's h0, is not correct. It follows that the Zucker–Hammett hypothesis is invalid for this reaction, as we have shown previously for other reactions, and hence that it does not provide a valid method of distinguishing between the A-1 and A-2 mechanisms.

1-(Carboxymethyl)cytosine (Ia), 1-(5-O-carboxymethyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)cytosine (IIa) and 5'-O-carboxylmethylcytidine (IIIa) were transformed by treatment with acetic anhydride and 4-dimethylaminopyridine to the peracetyl derivatives Ib-IIIb. These products reacted with p-nitrophenol in the presence of N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to give the activated esters Ic-IIIc which on reaction with ammonia, dimethylamine or 2-aminoethanol afforded the corresponding carboxamides Id-IIId, IIe,f. Reactions of Ic and IIc with human serum albumin and bovine γ-globulin at pH 9.2, followed by hydrolysis of the N- or O-acetyl groups at pH 9.5, gave 50% up to 64% yields of the respective conjugates Ig, IIg and Ih, IIh.

The course of hydrolysis of an ester, 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid catalyzed with poly(1-methyl-3-allylimidazolium bromide) (IIa), poly[l-methyl-3-(2-propinyl)imidazolium chloride] (IIb) and poly[l-methyl-3-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)imidazolium bromide] (IIc) in a 28.5% aqueous ethanol was investigated as a function of pH and compared with low-molecular weight models, viz., l-methyl-3-alkylimidazolium bromides (the alkyl group being methyl, propyl, and hexyl, resp). Polymers IIb, IIc possessed a higher activity at pH above 9, while the models were more active at a lower pH with a maximum at pH 7.67. The catalytic activity at the higher pH is attributed to an attack by the OH- group, while at the lower pH it is assigned to a direct attack of water on the substrate. The rate of hydrolysis of 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid is proportional to the catalyst concentration [IIc] and proceeds as a first-order reaction. The hydrolysis depends on the composition of the solvent and was highest at 28.5% (vol.) of ethanol in water. The hydrolysis of a neutral ester, 4-nitrophenyl acetate, was not accelerated by IIc.

Methyl 4-O-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl) and methyl 4-O-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside and their 6-O-isomers were prepared as model substances for the ether lignin-saccharide bond by reductive cleavage of corresponding 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives. Kinetic study of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the compounds prepared was carried out by spectrophotometric determination of the benzyl alcoholic groups set free, after their reaction with quinonemonochloroimide, and it showed the low stability of the p-hydroxybenzyl ether bond.

Kinetics of formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from 24 substitution derivatives of O-benzoylbenzamidoxime have been studied in sulphuric acid and aqueous ethanol media. It has been found that this medium requires introduction of the Hammett H0 function instead of the pH scale beginning as low as from 0.1% solutions of mineral acids. Effects of the acid concentration, ionic strength, and temperature on the reaction rate and on the kinetic isotope effect have been followed. From these dependences and from polar effects of substituents it was concluded that along with the cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles there proceeds hydrolysis to benzamidoxime and benzoic acid. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled by the acid-base equilibrium of the O-benzylated benzamidoximes.
