The basic hydrolysis and the concurrent carbonyl–oxygen exchange of 18O-labelled N-phenyl-4-phenyl-2-azetidinone (5*) and N-2,6-dimethylphenyl-2-azetidinone (6*) have been studied. β-Lactam 5* was easily hydrolysed and showed no carbonyl–oxygen exchange with 0.1 N sodium hydroxide (dioxane–water, 9:1). Under the same conditions, β-lactam 6* gave no exchange and was found resistant to basic hydrolysis. Hydrolysis and exchange was observed when 6* was refluxed with 0.1 N and 1 N sodium hydroxide in water.The hydrolysis of the corresponding imidate salts 7 and 8 was also investigated. Under basic conditions, salt 7 gave an 8:2 mixture of ester amine 9 and β-lactam 5, while under acidic conditions the hydrochloride salt of ester amine 9 was the only product. Under basic conditions, the imidate salt 8 produced only the β-lactam 6, and under acidic conditions, a 3:7 mixture of the hydrochloride salt of 10 and β-lactam 6. Under stronger acidic conditions (≥3 N HCl), 8 gave only the starting β-lactam 6.The results of these hydrolysis reactions are easily explained on the basis of the stereoelectronic theory for the cleavage of tetrahedral intermediates, and by taking into account that the nitrogen of tetrahedral intermediates must be either protonated under acidic conditions, or hydrogen bonded with the solvent under basic conditions in order to observe the cleavage of the C—N bond.

The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of succinic acid monomethyl and monopropyl esters were studied in mixed aqueous-nonaqueous media at various temperatures and ionic strengths. The results of measurements are discussed in terms of electrostatic and specific interactions between the reactants and other components of the reaction mixture. The kinetic parameters in the media under study are related to the influence of the cosolvent on the solvation sphere of the reactants.

Carba analogs of normuramic acid, i.e., 3-(benzyl 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucopyranosid-3-yl)propanoic acid derivatives (nitrile or esters) 3a-3c were prepared by addition of radicals generated from benzyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-3-O-[(methylsulfanyl)thiocarbonyl]- (2a) or -3-O-(phenoxythiocarbonyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside (2b) with Bu3SnH to acrylonitrile or acryl esters. Alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl ester 3c afforded 3-(benzyl 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucopyranosid-3-yl)propanoic acid (5). Coupling of acid 5 with L-2-aminobutanoyl-D-isoglutamine benzyl ester trifluoroacetate and subsequent deprotection of the intermediate 6 furnished N-[3-(2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-glucopyranosid-3-yl)propanoyl]-L-2-aminobutanoyl-D-isoglutamine (7).

The second-order rate constants k (in dm3 mol–1 s–1) for alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of meta-, para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr at 25 °C. The substituent effects for para and meta derivatives were described using the Hammett relationship. For the ortho derivatives the Charton equation was used. For ortho-substituted esters two steric scales were involved: the EsB and the Charton steric (υ) constants. When going from pure water to aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr, the meta and para polar effects, the ortho inductive and resonance effects in alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of substituted benzoic acids, became stronger nearly to the same extent as found for alkaline hydrolysis of C6H5CO2C6H4-X. The steric term of ortho-substituted esters was almost independent of the media considered. The rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of ortho-, meta- and para-substituted phenyl benzoates (X-C6H4CO2C6H5, C6H5CO2C6H4-X) and alkyl benzoates, C6H5CO2R, in water, 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr were correlated with the corresponding IR stretching frequencies of carbonyl group, (ΔνCO)X.

The second-order rate constants k2 (dm3 mol-1 s-1) for the alkaline hydrolysis of substituted alkyl benzoates C6H5CO2R have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 M Bu4NBr at 50 and 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH, CH2C6H5, CH2CH2Cl, CH2CH2OCH3, CH2CH3) and in aqueous 5.3 M NaClO4 at 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH). The dependence of the alkyl substituent effects on different solvent parameters was studied using the following equations:      ∆ log k = c0 + c1σI + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆EσI + c7∆YσI + c8∆PσI     ∆ log k = c0 + c1σ* + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆Eσ* + c7∆Yσ* + c8∆Pσ* .  ∆ log k = log kR - log kCH3. σI and σ* are the Taft inductive and polar substituent constants. E, Y and P are the solvent electrophilicity, polarity and polarizability parameters, respectively. In the data treatment ∆E = ES - EH2O , ∆Y = YS - YH2O , ∆P = PS - PH2O were used. The solvent electrophilicity, E, was found to be the main factor responsible for changes in alkyl substituent effects with medium. When σI constants were used, variation of the polar term of alkyl substituents with the solvent electrophilicity E was found to be similar to that observed earlier for meta and para substituents, but twice less when σ* constants were used. The steric term for alkyl substituents was approximately independent of the solvent parameters.
