Good Agreement

The basic hydrolysis of diazepam and several N-alkyl nitrazepam derivatives has been studied in the presence of reactive counterion micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) and vesicles of didodecyldimethylammonium hydroxide (DDAOH). In both surfactants, the rate of hydrolysis of all compounds was found to be dependent on the hydroxide concentration at constant surfactant concentration and this was interpreted as evidence for initial amide hydrolysis. The hydrolysis in CTAOH was inhibited by added salts in the order Br− < NO3− < SO42−. At concentrations above 3 mM surfactant, the rate of hydrolysis of each compound was similar in CTAOH and in DDAOH. At lower concentrations of CTAOH, however, the rate of hydrolysis was significantly lower than that in DDAOH. On the basis of this evidence, it was concluded that the cmc of CTAOH was between 2–3 mM, which is in good agreement with the value of 1.8 mM obtained by Zana from conductivity measurements. For diazepam, a mechanistic change is indicated on transfer from water to either micelles or vesicles and since vesicles are considered good models of biological membranes, this suggests that conclusions concerning the bioavailability of diazepam should not be based on studies in water but rather on studies in either micelles or vesicles.

Clay minerals surfaces potentially play a role in prebiotic synthesis through adsorption of organic monomers that give rise to highly concentrated systems; facilitate condensation and polymerization reactions, protection of early biomolecules from hydrolysis and photolysis, and surface-templating for specific adsorption and synthesis of organic molecules. This review presents processes of clay formation using saponite as a model clay mineral, since it has been shown to catalyze organic reactions, is easy to synthesize in large and pure form, and has tunable properties. In particular, a method involving urea is presented as a reasonable analog of natural processes. The method involves a two-step process: (1) formation of the precursor aluminosilicate gel and (2) hydrolysis of a divalent metal (Mg, Ni, Co, and Zn) by the slow release of ammonia from urea decomposition. The aluminosilicate gels in the first step forms a 4-fold-coordinated Al3+ similar to what is found in nature such as in volcanic glass. The use of urea, a compound figuring in many prebiotic model reactions, circumvents the formation of undesirable brucite, Mg(OH)2, in the final product, by slowly releasing ammonia thereby controlling the hydrolysis of magnesium. In addition, the substitution of B and Ga for Si and Al in saponite is also described. The saponite products from this urea-assisted synthesis were tested as catalysts for several organic reactions, including Friedel–Crafts alkylation, cracking, and isomerization reactions.
