The catalytic decomposition of 2-propanol on hafnium dioxide has been investigated over the temperature range 355–397 °C by a micropulse reactor technique. The major reaction is one of dehydration to propene but dehydrogenation also occurs to a small extent. Isotope effect measurements with deuterio-2-propanols indicate that the rate-limiting step in dehydration involves cleavage of the β-carbon-hydrogen while in the dehydrogenation reaction it is cleavage of the α-carbon-hydrogen bond.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.
