Reaction of O(3P) atoms with ethanol in the vapor phase has been studied at room temperature. The principal initial reaction products are water, acetaldehyde, and 2,3-butanediol. The data are consistent with abstraction of an α-hydrogen from ethanol as the primary step in the reaction. Ethanol is found to react with O(3P) atoms about 3.5 times less rapidly than acetaldehyde. The approximate absolute value of the rate constant of the ethanol reaction at 25 °C is 6.2 × 1010 cm3 mole−1 s−1.As a corollary to the investigation of the reaction of oxygen atoms with ethanol, a brief study has been made of the mercury Hg 6(3P1) photosensitized decomposition of ethanol at room temperature.

The mechanism of the reaction of ground state oxygen atoms, O(3P), with CH3SSCH3 was studied by analysis of the final products. Oxygen atoms were generated by mercury photosensitized decomposition of N2O such that [Formula: see text]. The only detected product was CH3S(O)2SCH3, which accounted for close to 70% of the oxygen atoms reacted. Isomerization of small amounts of cis- or trans-2-butene added to the reaction mixture indicated the presence of CH3S radicals. The results are consistent with the primary reaction O + CH3SSCH3 → CH3SO + CH3S. The effect of small amounts of CH3SH and H2S on the yields of CH3S(O)2SCH3 and the products formed provide further information on the nature of the secondary chemistry. A comprehensive reaction mechanism has been proposed.

Dimethyl acetylphosphonate (DAP) is rapidly cleaved in water to acetate and dimethylphosphonic acid. The half time for reaction at pH 7, 25 °C is estimated to be 3 s. The reaction is first order in hydroxide ion concentration and first order in DAP concentration. Rates of reaction were measured over the pH range 3.8 to 6.5 at 25 °C, 6.5 and 7.0 at 5 °C, 4.5 to 6.5 at 35 °C, and 4.5 to 6.0 at 45 °C. The average observed second-order rate constant at 25 °C is 2.4 × 106M−1 s−1. DAP is converted rapidly to a hydrated carbonyl adduct. The mechanism for the formation of the observed products is proposed to be analogous to cleavage reactions of other carbonyl hydrates, proceeding from a monoanion conjugate in this case. The estimated rate constant for the unimolecular cleavage of the carbonyl hydrate anion is 2 × 103 s−1. The rapid hydrolysis of DAP results from energetically favourable formation of a hydrate due to the electronic effect of the phosphonate diester. This effect also promoles ionization of the hydrate. The ionized hydrate readily expels the phosphonate diester to achieve the overall rapid hydrolysis.


The kinetics of the reaction between oxygen atoms and cyanogen have been studied in a capacity flow reactor at temperatures between 570 and 687 °K. The concentration of CN radicals was measured by electronic absorption spectroscopy. This work confirms the previously proposed mechanism (part II). The initial step has a rate constant of k 1 = 2∙5 (± 0∙3) x 10 13 exp ( – 11000±2000/ RT ) cm 3 mole –1 s –1 . CN radicals are removed mainly by reactions (4) and (2) for which k 4 = 6∙3 (±3∙5) x 10 13 exp (–2400±700/ RT ) cm 3 mole –1 s –1 and k 2 = 4∙4 (±2∙0) x 10 12 cm 3 mole –1 s –1 . CN+O = CO+N, (4) CN+O 2 = NCO+O. (2) The rates of reaction of CN with NO and NH 3 were also measured; for CH 4 and H 2 limiting values were obtained.

A large number of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be described by the equation y = At−B(1−e−kt) where y is the amount of product formed, A is the slope of the linear portion of the curve, and B is a constant dependent on the mechanism of the reaction. The methods which are generally used to extract the rate constant, k, from absorbance–time data described by this equation require that the reaction be monitored for some 10 to 15 half-lives. We show herein that the rate constant k is readily obtained from a plot of (y″−y′) vs. (y′−y0) where y0, y′, and y″ are the values of y at times t, t + Δt, and t + 2Δt. This graphical method is simple, reliable, and requires that the reaction be monitored for only three to five half-lives of the exponential phase of the reaction.We have used this method to measure the rate of activation of a mixed disulfide of papain and 2-nitro-5-mercaptobenzoic acid in the presence of substrate.
