Kinetics have been studied of oxidation of (1-hydroxybenzyl)ferrocenes substituted in phenyl ring with bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in benzene solutions as well as protonation of these alcohols in sulphuric acid medium. Logarithms of the oxidation rate constants (kobs, 20-40 °C) and those of the protonation equilibrium constants (KR+, 25 °C) show linear dependence on the Hammett σ constants, the ρ constant values being -0.86 to -0.40 and -2.50, respectively. These negative values suggest that the both processes are influenced by the same effects and confirm the mechanism proposed earlier for oxidation of alcohols with ferrocenyl substituent by action of bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in aprotic solvents.

4-Methoxybenzyl cations bearing α-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl) and α-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl) substituents have been generated photochemically upon irradiation of precursors with pentafluorobenzoate or 4-methoxybenzoate leaving groups. The ions have been observed with flash photolysis in 40:60 acetonitrile:water and in 50:50 methanol:water, and rate constants were measured for their decay in solvent alone and for their capture by azide ion. The cations so studied and their lifetimes in 40% acetonitrile are 6, ArC+H-CONMe2, 0.6 μs; 2, ArC+H-CSNMe2, 7 ms; and 4, ArC+(CH3)-CSMe2, 6 ms, where Ar = 4-MeOC6H4. The cation 4 reacts with solvent by elimination of a proton from the α-methyl group, and the rate constant for solvent addition must be less than 1 s-1. The CSNMe2 substituted cations are 105-107-fold longer lived than analogs where the thioamide group has been replaced with an α-methyl. The UV-visible absorption spectra of these two cations also show significant differences from those of typical 4-methoxybenzyl cations. Thus, both the lifetimes and spectra point to a strong interaction of the benzylic centre with the thioamide group. Key words: flash photolysis, thiocarbamoyl stabilized carbocation, photosolvolysis.

In this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH 7.0, 25 ?C, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate constants was achieved by fitting the reaction progress curves to the experimental data, using the procedures of the FITSIM and KINSIM software package of Carl Frieden. This work is the first report in the literature showing the internal equilibrium constants for the isomerization of the enzyme-NAD+ complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract The ability of high-resolution NMR spectroscopy to readout the response of molecular interactions at multiple atomic sites presents a unique capability to define thermodynamic equilibrium constants and kinetic rate constants for complex, multiple-step biological interactions. Nonetheless, the extraction of the relevant equilibrium binding and rate constants requires the appropriate analysis of not only a readout that follows the equilibrium concentrations of typical binding titration curves, but also the lineshapes of NMR spectra. To best take advantage of NMR data for characterizing molecular interactions, we developed NmrLineGuru, a software tool with a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) to model two-state, three-state, and four-state binding processes. Application of NmrLineGuru is through stand-alone GUIs, with no dependency on other software and no scripted input. NMR spectra can be fitted or simulated starting with user-specified input parameters and a chosen kinetic model. The ability to both simulate and fit NMR spectra provides the user the opportunity to not only determine the binding parameters that best reproduce the measured NMR spectra for the selected kinetic model, but to also query the possibility that alternative models agree with the data. NmrLineGuru is shown to provide an accurate, quantitative analysis of complex molecular interactions.
