The substituent effect on the chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of several phenyl esters of specific substrates has been studied. The second-order acylation rate constants (kcat/Km(app)) obey a linear free energy relationship with ρ = +0.63 for phenyl hippurates and ρ = +0.46 for phenyl N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tryptophanates when substituents are introduced into the phenyl group of the ester function. These results further support the previously proposed general acid – general base mechanism for the acylation reaction and the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate in the course of the reaction.

The 13C n.m.r. spectra of 17 monosubstituted benzenes, 14 para substituted acetanilides and ten 4'-nitrophenyl 4-substituted benzoates have been measured in (CD3)2SO and the chemical shifts have been compared with the infrared carbonyl stretching frequencies of the substrates (in CCl4), the 1H n.m.r. chemical shifts of protons close to the reactive site of protonation, rates of hydrolysis or aminolysis and literature values of the corresponding basicity constants and rate constants. The observed substituent chemical shifts are non-additive and this result has been discussed in terms of the electronic properties of -NHCOCH3 and -COOC6H4NO2. The 13C n.m.r. and the i.r. data have been treated by single parameter and dual substituent parameter linear free energy relationships and σR values of best fit have been identified. Relative resonance and inductive contributions have been discussed.
