The basic hydrolysis of a number of alkyl and aryl N-(4-nitrophenyl)carbamates in the presence and absence of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) are reported. In water the stable product at 26�C was N-(4-nitrophenyl)carbamate ion (3). At higher temperatures this carbamate ion slowly decomposed to 4-nitroaniline. In ctab the decarboxylation of the N-(4-nitrophenyl)carbamate ion was strongly catalysed (× 45) and thus the observed final product even at 26�C was 4-nitroaniline. Kinetic studies in water and in ctab were consistent with decomposition of the methyl carbamate (la) by a BAC2 mechanism and the 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl carbamate (lc) by an E1cB mechanism. The extent of ionization of the substrate carbamates to nitranion (4) was enhanced in ctab as was the rate of spontaneous decomposition of the nitranion. This is in contrast to other E1cB reactions reported in the literature, for which the rate of spontaneous decomposition of the carbanion was inhibited by ctab. For compounds reacting by the BAC2 mechanism, the tetrahedral intermediate (2) partitioned in favour of C-OR bond breaking rather than C-N bond breaking observed previously for some N-methyl derivatives.

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.

Kinetic studies of the acidic hydrolysis of diazepam and nitrazepam were carried out in the presence of micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds). The hydrolysis of diazepam was shown to occur with biphasic kinetics. This is consistent with initial hydrolysis of the azomethine bond followed by very slow hydrolysis of the amide bond as found for hydrolysis in aqueous solution. Nitrazepam, however, was found to decompose with monophasic kinetics consistent with initial amide hydrolysis. Reactions involving the hydrolysis of the azomethine bond were shown to be independent of acid concentration and subject to inhibition by micelles of sds. Reactions involving amide hydrolysis were shown to be first order in acid concentration and subject to micellar catalysis. The mechanistic change for the hydrolysis of nitrazepam on transfer from water (initial azomethine cleavage) to micelles of sds (initial amide cleavage), was presumably the result of the inhibition of azomethine hydrolysis and the catalysis of amide hydrolysis by the micelles.
