The paper deals with instability of solutions of quaternary ammonium permanganates, QMnO4 (Q = tetraethyl-, tetra-1-propyl-, tetra-1-butyl-, tetra-1-pentyl-, tetra-1-octyl-, and cetyltrimethylammonium), in dichloromethane and presents the rate constants and activation parameters of the reduction of permanganate. Attention was paid to the properties of colloidal Mn(IV) intermediate. The stability of the solutions depends markedly on the quaternary ammonium salt used.

A study was carried out on the solvolysis of 1-adamantyl chlorothioformate (1-AdSCOCl, 1) in hydroxylic solvents. The rate constants of the solvolysis of 1 were well correlated using the Grunwald–Winstein equation in all of the 20 solvents (R = 0.985). The solvolyses of 1 were analyzed as the following two competing reactions: the solvolysis ionization pathway through the intermediate (1-AdSCO)+ (carboxylium ion) stabilized by the loss of chloride ions due to nucleophilic solvation and the solvolysis–decomposition pathway through the intermediate 1-Ad+Cl− ion pairs (carbocation) with the loss of carbonyl sulfide. In addition, the rate constants (kexp) for the solvolysis of 1 were separated into k1-Ad+Cl− and k1-AdSCO+Cl− through a product study and applied to the Grunwald–Winstein equation to obtain the sensitivity (m-value) to change in solvent ionizing power. For binary hydroxylic solvents, the selectivities (S) for the formation of solvolysis products were very similar to those of the 1-adamantyl derivatives discussed previously. The kinetic solvent isotope effects (KSIEs), salt effects and activation parameters for the solvolyses of 1 were also determined. These observations are compared with those previously reported for the solvolyses of 1-adamantyl chloroformate (1-AdOCOCl, 2). The reasons for change in reaction channels are discussed in terms of the gas-phase stabilities of acylium ions calculated using Gaussian 03.

The reaction between 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and the alkoxide bases ŌCH3, ŌC2H5, ŌnC4H9, ŌCH(CH3)2, and ŌC(CH3)3 in their corresponding alcohol solvents is a multistep reaction with several intermediates: 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-alkoxyethane (A), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1-fluoro-1-alkoxyethene (B), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-dialkoxyethene (C), 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-difluoroethene (D), and 4,4′-dinitrobenzophene (E). Rate constants and activation parameters have been measured for the appearance of the two stable products B and C. The kinetic deuterium isotope effects for the appearance of B fell in the range of kH/kD = 1 to 2 at 25 °C for the primary and secondary alkoxides, whereas kH/kD = 5.4 at 30 °C for the appearance of D with tert-butoxide. Exchange experiments showed that H/D exchange took place between the substrate and solvent to the extent of 100% with methoxide, 50% with ethoxide and isopropoxide, and 0% with tert-butoxide. It is concluded the HF elimination from the substrate follows an (ElcB)R mechanism with methoxide/methanol, changing to (ElcB)I or E2 with tert-butoxide/tert-butanol.

In aqueous sulfuric acid, aliphatic N-nitro amines decompose to N2O and alcohols. An excess acidity analysis of the observed rate constants for the reaction shows that free carbocations are not formed. The reaction is an acid-catalyzed SN2 displacement from the protonated aci-nitro tautomer, the nucleophile being a water molecule at acidities below 82–85% H2SO4, and a bisulfate ion at higher acidities. Bisulfate is the poorer nucleophile by a factor of about 1000. Twelve compounds were studied, of which results obtained for nine at several different temperatures enabled calculation of activation parameters for both nucleophiles. The reaction appears to be mainly enthalpy controlled. The intercept standard-state rate constants are well correlated by the σ* values for the alkyl groups; the slopes are negative, with a more negative value for the slower bisulfate reaction. Interestingly the m≠m* slopes also correlate with σ*, although the scatter is bad. Key words: N-nitro amines, excess acidity, bisulfate, nucleophiles, acid-catalyzed, kinetics.

The ultraviolet spectroscopy method has been applied to study the kinetics of the ozone reactions with nitrogenous bases (NB), namely adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions. At the first research stage, the range of NB working concentrations has been determined. It was found that linear dependences between optical densities and concentrations of nitrogenous bases aqueous solutions are quite reliable, with correlation coefficients r ≥ 0.998, are satisfied up to [NB] = 2.3 ∙ 10–4 mol/l. According to the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law, adenine and cytosine extinction coefficients in aqueous solutions were determined and subsequently used to calculate their residual concentrations. At the next stage, the kinetics of nitrogenous bases ozonized oxidation was studied with equal initial concentrations of the starting substances ([NB]0 = [О3]0). The results revealed that the kinetic consumption curves of the starting reagents are fairly well linearized (r ≥ 0.996) in the second-order reaction equation coordinates. As found with the bubbling installation, 1 mol of the absorbed ozone falls on 1 mol of the used NB. Thus, the reactions of ozone with adenine and cytosine explicitly proceed according to the second-order kinetic laws (the first – according to О3 and the first – according to NB). The rate constants were calculated by the integral reaction equations, the values of which indicate a higher ozone reactivity in relation to nitrogen bases. The temperature dependences of the second-order rate constants was studied ranging 285-309 K, and the activation parameters (pre-exponential factors and activation energies) of the ozone reactions with adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions were determined.
