Abstract The optimized HCl-catalyzed hydrolysis of alkyl diphenylphosphinates is described. The reaction times and pseudo-first-order rate constants suggested the iPr > Me > Et ∼ Pr ∼ Bu order of reactivity in respect of the alkyl group of the phosphinates. The MW-assisted p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA)-catalyzed variation means a better alternative possibility due to the shorter reaction times, and the alkaline hydrolysis is another option. The transesterification of alkyl diphenylphosphinates took place only in the presence of suitable ionic liquids, such as butyl-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphorate ([bmim][PF6]) and butyl-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]). The application of ethyl-methylimidazolium hydrosulfate ([emim][HSO4]) and butyl-methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim][Cl]) was not too efficient, as the formation of the ester was accompanied by the fission of the O–C bond resulting in the formation of Ph2P(O)OH. This surprising transformation may be utilized in the phosphinate → phosphinic acid conversion.

The values of pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) for alkaline hydrolysis of1, obtained at 1.0 mM NaOH and withinCmEnT(total concentration ofCmEn) range of 3.0–5.0 mM forC12E23and 10–20 mM forC18E20, fail to obey pseudophase micellar (PM) model. The values of the fraction of near irreversibleCmEnmicellar trapped1molecules (FIT1) vary in the range ~0–0.75 forC12E23and ~0–0.83 forC18E20under such conditions. The values ofFIT1become 1.0 at ≥10 mMC12E23and 50 mMC18E20. Kinetic analysis of the observed data at ≥10 mMC12E23shows near irreversible micellar entrapment of1molecules under such conditions.

AbstractIn present work, we have studied kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of 14 compounds, which are phenylcarbamic acid derivatives with integrated N-phenylpiperazine moiety in the structure. The compounds possessed moderate antiarrhythmic and antimycobacterial activity. Their hydrolysis was carried out in an aqueous medium ethanol sodium hydroxide solution. The course of the hydrolysis was observed spectrophotometrically in visible as well as in ultraviolet regions. The pseudo-first order rate constants were calculated at several temperatures. The values of the activation energy EAwere determined by the Arrhenius equation. The rate of hydrolysis of the compounds under the study increase with the increase in temperature and it has been differentiated according to the substitution of N-phenylpiperazine as well as to the alkoxy substitution on phenyl ring.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl isonitrile has been examined. The initial hydrolysis product is N-methylformamide which is further hydrolyzed to methyl amine and formic acid at a much slower rate. The hydrolysis to N-methylformamide is pseudo-first order in methyl isonitrile and shows a linear rate dependence on concentration of general (buffer) acid at fixed pH. The significance of general acid-catalysis in terms of the mechanism of the hydrolysis is considered and taken as evidence for carbon protonation rather than nitrogen protonation as the initiating step.

Abstract The finding that hexenuronic acid (HexA) groups can be selectively removed from kraft pulps by acid hydrolysis has provided an opportunity to reduce bleaching chemicals. However, there is evidence that the acid hydrolysis is not uniform. In this report, we evaluate the kinetics of acid hydrolysis of HexA in a xylan sample enriched with HexA, a conventional kraft pulp, and three modified kraft pulps: anthraquinone pulp (Kraft-AQ), polysulfide pulp (PS), and polysulfide-anthraquinone pulp (PS-AQ). We found that HexA present in the xylan and conventional kraft pulp behaved similarly toward the acid hydrolysis throughout. On the other hand, HexA present in the Kraft-AQ, PS-AQ and PS pulps was heterogeneous toward acid hydrolysis and the reaction can be separated into two pseudo-first-order kinetic phases, each of which has a different rate constant. The kinetic data provide evidence for the formation of lignin-HexA-xylan complexes during modified kraft pulping processes.

The disappearance of trans-[Co(LH)2(NH3)X] (LH = dimethylglyoximate ion, X = chloride or bromide) has been studied in aqueous solutions over a range of alkali concentrations at various temperatures. The kinetics were done with excess of hydroxide ion at a constant ionic strength so that pseudo first-order rate constants were obtained in all the runs. The results were interpreted in terms of the rapid formation of a pre- equilibrium species which then reacts in a rate-determining step to give products. The relatively large equilibrium constants support a conjugate-base pre-equilibrium, in which the proton is lost from oxygen, while the relatively low reactivities of the conjugate-bases are consistent with the absence of electropositive electromeric effects. The similarity in the reactivities of the chloro and the bromo conjugate-bases suggests the possibility of an SN2CB mechanism.

The kinetics of base hydrolysis of the complexes trans-[Rh(en)2(OH)X]+ (X = Br or Cl) follow the pseudo first order rate equation kobs = k1 + k2[OH−]. The small contribution of the [OH−]-dependent term is due to lower values of ΔS2≠ − ΔS1≠ than are observed for the complexes cis-[Rh(en)2(OH)Cl]+ and [Rh(NH3)5X]2+ (X = Cl, Br, or I ). The values of ΔH1≠ are used to obtain new values of the intrinsickinetictrans-effect (i.k.t.e.) of hydroxide that agree with that determined from aquation of trans.-[Rh(en)2(OH)I]+ and place hydroxide in the i.k.t.e. series [Formula: see text] The new data also allow hydroxide to be placed in a thermodynamic trans-effect (t.t.e.) series I > OH > NH3 > Br > Cl > OH2, and the different position of hydroxide in the two series is discussed.

The hydrolysis of N,N′-dimethylformamidine (DMFA) has been investigated in acid and alkaline aqueous media by 1H nmr; only a narrow basic pH range could be extensively studied kinetically. The pseudo-first-order kobs rose steadily from pH 11.5 to 13.0 (reaction approximately first order in OH−), then became independent of pH above 13.5 (9.3 × 10−4 s−1 at 10 °C). In contrast to many amidines, DMFA is quite stable in acid solution (estimated value of the pseudo-first-order hydrolysis rate constant is 1.4 × 10−1 s−1 at 10 °C, pH 0.05, from measurements at 100 and 140 °C). This stability is ascribed to the difficulty of eliminating the fairly strong base methylamine from the tetrahedral intermediate in acid solution.N-Methylformamide (NMF), one of the products, is formed initially as the cis isomer. A somewhat slower conversion then occurs to the thermodynamically more stable trans isomer. This unusual result is explained in terms of Deslongchamps and co-workers' theory of stereoelectronic control for the orbital-assisted breakdown of tetrahedral intermediates.

The pseudo-first-order rate constants for the phosphate-catalysed hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate have been determined in water at 310.5 K. The reaction has been followed spectrophotometrically by the disappearance of the ester and with n.m.r, spectroscopy by the appearance of both acetyl phosphate and the acetate ion and by the disappearance of ester. A phosphate-catalysed acyl transfer mechanism has been identified, in which the aryl ester is attacked by phosphate to give acetyl phosphate which is subsequently hydrolysed by water to acetate ion and regenerated catalyst. At concentrations of total phosphate exceeding 1.0 mol dm-3 the presence of dimeric phosphate species causes the appearance of a non-linear rate-concentration profile. Catalysis has been also been observed in 2,2'-(propane-1,3-diyldiimino)bis(propane-1,3-diol) buffer solutions.
