Solvent Isotope Effects

The rates of hydrolysis of phosphato complexes of cobalt(111) in sodium hydroxide concentrations ranging from 0.02M to 0.37M, and at several ionic strengths, have been measured with a tracer technique. Bidentate phosphato complexes exhibit the same rates of hydrolysis as the corresponding monodentate complexes, due to a rapid conversion of the bidentate into the monodentate form. The general rate law for base hydrolysis of all the phosphato complexes is: d[PO34]/dt = {kH2O + kOH[OH-]}[complex] At 60� and at unit ionic strength, the rate constants for the complexes cis-[Co(NH3)4OH.PO4]-, cis-[Co en2OH.PO4]-, and [Co(NH3)5PO4] respectively are: 103kH2O (min-l) 85.0, 2.0, <1; and 103kOH (1. mole-1 min-l) 42.7, 12.0, 69.5. Mechanistic conclusions have been based on the measured enthalpies and entropies of activation and deuterium solvent isotope effects. For all complexes, kH2O is identified with an aquation mechanism involving synchronous interchange of the phosphate and solvent water between the first and second coordination spheres of the complexes. In the case of the tetrammine and bis(ethylenediamine) complexes, kOH is identified with a process involving synchronous interchange of phosphate and hydroxide ion between the first and second coordination spheres of the complexes. In the case of the pentammine complex, an SN2CB mechanism is considered to be more probable. A comparison with the base hydrolysis of halogen complexes of cobalt(111) is presented.

The pseudo-thermodynamic parameters, ΔH≠, ΔS≠, and ΔCp≠ and the kinetic solvent isotope effects have been determined for the three alkyl-phosphorochloridates, where the alkyl group is ethylisopropyl and n-propyl; for tetra-methyl and tetra-ethyl phosphorodiamidic chlorides; the di-n-propyl and di-isopropyl analog, the di(isopropylmethylcarbinyl)phosphorochloridate and the tetra-ethylthiophosphorodiamidic chloride. These compounds have a potential relationship to compounds used as insecticides and as polymers. The mechanism of reaction is discussed on the basis of these data.

Solvent Isotope Effects

A kinetic study of the mechanism of oxidation of Ala-Gly and Pro-Gly by aqueous chlorine has been carried out. Among other experimental facts, the deuterium solvent isotope effects were used to clarify the mechanisms involved. In a first stage, N-chlorination takes place, and then the (N-Cl)-dipeptide decomposes through two possible mechanisms, depending on the acidity of the medium. The initial chlorination step shows a small isotope effect. In alkaline medium, two consecutive processes take place: first, the general base-catalyzed formation of an azomethine (β ca. 0.27), which has an inverse deuterium solvent isotope effect (kOH-/kOD- ~ 0.8). In a second step, the hydrolysis of the azomethine intermediate takes place, which is also general base-catalyzed, without deuterium solvent isotope effect, the corresponding uncatalyzed process having a normal deuterium solvent isotope effect (kH2O/kD2O ~ 2). In acid medium, the (N-Cl)-dipeptide undergoes disproportionation to a (N,N)-di-Cl-dipeptide, the very fast decomposition of the latter in deuterium oxide preventing a reliable estimation of the solvent isotope effect.Key words: chlorination, deuterium isotope effects, fractionation factors, peptide oxidation, water treatment.

Solvent Isotope Effects

The large kinetic solvent isotope effects for the neutral hydrolysis of acetic and propionic anhydride show unusual temperature dependency; the former passing through a maximum at about 15°, the latter showing a minimum at 30°. This unusual temperature dependency is the consequence of widely different values of the apparent ΔCp≠ in H2O and D2O: the value for acetic anhydride in H2O being −74 ± 2 cal deg−1 mol−1 but −32 ± 4 in D2O. The corresponding values for propionic anhydride being −31 ± 2 in H2O but −94 ± 10 in D2O. The implications of these differences are discussed.

Solvent Isotope Effects

The temperature dependence of the rates of neutral hydrolysis of a series of alkyl trifluoroacetates (CF3COOR; R = methyl, ethyl, s-propyl, t-butyl) has been determined in both light and heavy water. From these studies the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH≠, ΔS≠) which characterize the activation process have been calculated. Sufficient rate data have been obtained in the case of the ethyl ester to calculate the heat capacity of activation (ΔCP≠) for the hydrolysis of this compound in light water. Both the entropies and enthalpies of activation as well as the solvent isotope effects are consistent with the proposal that the primary and secondary esters react by an acyl–oxygen BAc2 mechanism, in contrast to the tertiary ester, which appears to react either by a carbonium ion (SN1) process or by a route which combines both the BAc2 and SN1 paths.

Solvent Isotope Effects

The rates of neutral hydrolysis of a series of 4-substituted benzyl trifluoroacetates 4-X-C6H4CH2OCOCF3, X = NO2, Cl, H, CH3, and OCH3 have been studied in water and deuterium oxide, both solvents containing 0.012 mol fraction of acetone. The alteration of the rates with the nature of the 4-substituent and the kinetic solvent isotope effect (k(H2O)/k(D2O)) are consistent with the proposal that the esters with X = NO2, Cl, H, and CH3 all react by an acyl–oxygen BAc2 mechanism. On the other hand, the same mechanistic criteria indicate that the 4-methoxybenzyl ester reacts by both the BAc2 and the SN1 alkyl–oxygen fission paths in equal amounts.
