The entropies of activation related to the reactions of aqueous malachite green with the nucleophiles water, hydroxide, hydrazine, ammonia, hypochlorite, and sulphite have been calculated from the temperature dependence of the rate constants appropriate to these reactions. The entropies of the transition states for these reactions have been characterized and the transition states shown to be 'reactant like'. A similar correlation, based on data for a series of nucleophiles attacking methyl iodide, suggests that the transition states for the SN2 displacement reactions are also 'reactant like' with respect to the attacking nucleophile. A relationship between two distinct parameters each of which is related to the position of transition states along the reaction coordinate is considered.

An improved method of preparing deuterated alkanes from the halides has been developed. Dehalogenation of ethyl iodide, 1,1-dibromoethane, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane with zinc dust in deuterium oxide – dioxane solutions, or even with deuterium oxide alone, gave excellent yields of ethane-d1, ethane-1,1-d2, and ethane-1,1,1-d3. Methane-d1, -d2, -d3, and -d4 were prepared similarly from methyl iodide, dibromomethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride respectively. The isotopic purity of the products was over 90 mol.%. The reaction is also applicable to higher alkyl halides.

The rate constants have been measured of the reactions of methyl iodide with triethylamine (I) and tributylamine (III) at 293 K in twelve aprotic solvents, methyl iodide with tripropylamine (II) at 293, 313, 323, and 333 K in fifteen solvents differing greatly in their dipole moments, relative permittivities, and refractive indexes, and diiodomethane with tripropylamine in diiodomethane at 293 K (k1 = 2.1 10-5 s-1). The aprotic solvents predominantly affect the activation entropy which for the reaction of II varies from -200 J mol-1 s-1 (in cyclohexane) to -108 J mol-1 s-1 (in diiodomethane). The activation enthalpy of the reaction of methyl iodide with tripropylamine (II) is only little affected by aprotic solvents, a significant increase in activation enthalpy has been observed in the case of amphiprotic solvents. The evaluation of effect of medium on the rate constants of the above-mentioned reactions by means of the Kirkwood functions of relative permittivity and refractive index has shown a significant contribution of the refractive index of solvent which is comparable with the effect of relative permittivity.

The methylation rate of hydroxyl groups of the title glycosides I and II has been studied in their reaction with methyl iodide and sodium hydroxide in acetonitrile. From the relative rate constants determined for the side and consecutive reactions taking place the differences in methylation rate of the individual hydroxyl groups have been deduced and are discussed from the standpoint of possible steric and polar effects.

The kinetics of methylation of methyl 5-deoxy-α-D-xylofuranoside (1), methyl 5-deoxy-β-D-xylofuranoside (2) and their partly methylated derivatives with methyl iodide in the presence of sodium hydroxide in acetonitrile was studied. The reaction rate was independent of the base concentration during the first half-time only and the methylation proceeded as a first-order reaction. The rate constants of all side and consecutive reactions were calculated and the influence of both polar and steric effect is discussed. The methylation of 1 was highly regioselective giving almost exclusively 5-deoxy-2-O-methyl-α-D-xylofuranoside.
