1-(Carboxymethyl)cytosine (Ia), 1-(5-O-carboxymethyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)cytosine (IIa) and 5'-O-carboxylmethylcytidine (IIIa) were transformed by treatment with acetic anhydride and 4-dimethylaminopyridine to the peracetyl derivatives Ib-IIIb. These products reacted with p-nitrophenol in the presence of N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to give the activated esters Ic-IIIc which on reaction with ammonia, dimethylamine or 2-aminoethanol afforded the corresponding carboxamides Id-IIId, IIe,f. Reactions of Ic and IIc with human serum albumin and bovine γ-globulin at pH 9.2, followed by hydrolysis of the N- or O-acetyl groups at pH 9.5, gave 50% up to 64% yields of the respective conjugates Ig, IIg and Ih, IIh.

The tetradentate ligand (2S,2'S)-2,2'-ethylene-bis(2-amino-3-methylbutanoato) (eddval) is coordinated in the [Co(eddval)CO3]- anion to give 88% of Δ-sym-cis and 12% of Δ-unsym-cis isomers. The stereospecific formation of the Δ-sym-cis isomer is explained by steric crowding in the Λ-sym-cis isomer. The predominance of the sym-cis isomer indicates that the synthesis is also influenced by kinetic effects. These are particularly pronounced in the case of the Δ-unsym-cis isomer which for steric reasons is thermodynamically less stable than the Λ-unsym-cis isomer. The secondary nitrogen atoms in the Δ-sym-cis isomer are of the R configuration whereas in the Δ-unsym-cis isomer they have configuration R and S. The absolute configuration of the isomers has been determined from their absorption, CD, 1H and 13C NMR spectra. Acid hydrolysis of Δ-sym-cis-[Co(eddval)CO3]- proceeds with retention of configuration to give the Δ-[Co(eddval)(H2O)2]+ isomer.

Abstract Correlation between observed kinetic effects of phase-transfer catalytic reaction of the alkaline hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl ester of N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine-4 in the two-phase system chloroform-borate buffer pH = 10 and a content of ionic forms of catalyst was investigated. The phosphonium salts QX (X = Cl¯, Br¯, I¯) shows high catalytic reactivity. Dependence of the reaction kinetics discussed in the framework of the extraction mechanism with a competitive extraction of a nucleophile ОН¯, nucleofuge 4-NO2C6H4O¯ and anion X¯ of the phase-transfer catalyst.

The hydrolysis of 2,4-dinitrophenyl cellulose xanthate (CelXDNP) was studied in 10% v/v aqueous ethanol at 25°C and μ = 0.1 (KCl). The water-catalyzed hydrolysis showed that, as for p-nitrobenzyl cellulose xanthate, it occurs through two parallel reactions with rate constants k'H2O = 4.40 x 10-3 s-1 for the fast hydrolysis, and k''H2O = 6.90 x 10-5 s-1 for the slow hydrolysis. The entropy of activation of the fast hydrolysis was 0.7 ± 1.8 cal K-1 mol-1. External nucleophiles such as hydroxide and simple amines show simple first-order kinetics. The spontaneous hydrolysis of CelXDNP in acetone-water mixtures indicates that the fast reaction does not occur through water polymers and that for water molarity higher than 30 M there are no acetone molecules (or very few) in the highly ordered cybotactic region of cellulose. The spontaneous hydrolysis of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene- α -D-glucopyranoside 3-(S-p-nitrobenzyl-xanthate) although is faster than the 6-isomer, it is slower than the fast hydrolysis of p-nitrobenzyl cellulose xanthate (CelXNB). Also Δ Sdouble dagger is highly negative (-41.0 cal K-1 mol-1), as it is for alkyl and sugar analogues. Only for the fast hydrolyses of CelXDNP and CelXNB is the entropy of activation almost zero. It is concluded that there is no neighbouring OH effect on the fast hydrolysis of cellulose xanthate esters. Key words: hydrolysis, water catalysis, cellulose xanthate esters, methyl glucose, xanthate esters, neighbouring OH effect.
