The rates of reduction of a series of 1-(Z-benzyl)nicotinonitrile cations by a series of 1-(X-benzyl)-1,4-dihydronicotinamides have been studied at 25 °C in 20% CH3CN – 80% H2O (pH 7.0 (5 mM phosphate), ionic strength 1.0 (KCl)). Spectral studies indicate the formation of 1,4-dihydronicotinonitrile products, without the formation of the isomeric 1,2-dihydro- or 1,6-dihydro-nicotinamide intermediates. Second-order rate constants (k2) for these reductions are closely correlated with the Hammett σ constants for X and Z. Thus, for X = H, log k2 = 0.63σz − 1.05, while for Z = 4-CN, log k2 = −0.64σx − 0.65. The close correspondence between these ρx and ρz values indicates that charge neutralization on the nicotinonitrile cation exactly balances charge generation on the nicotinamide cation product in the rate-determining transition state. Thus the migrating hydrogen species is electrically neutral in the rate-determining transition state, which contrasts with the hydridic transition states previously reported in the reduction of isoquinolinium cations by 1,4-dihydronicotinamides. When 1-benzyl-4,4-dideuterio-1,4-dihydronicotinamide is used as the reductant, primary kinetic isotope effects of 3.0 and 2.7 are observed for the reduction of the 1-methylnicotinonitrile and 1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-nicotinonitrile cations, respectively. These data are evaluated in terms of the various mechanistic possibilities for hydride transfer.

The radiation-induced oxidation of 2-propanol to acetone by N2O in alkaline aqueous solution proceeds via a free radical chain mechanism independent of pH above 12.5. The results are explained by abstraction of H from 2-propanol by O− at both the α and β positions (85% α attack). Chain propagation is by reaction of the α radical anion, (CH3)2ĊO−, with N2O with a rate constant of (3.8 ± 0.4) × 104 M−1 s−1 and by reaction of the β radical, ĊH2(CH3)CHOH, with 2-propanol to give the α radical with a rate constant of 430 ± 30 M−1 s−1.The conclusions are supported by the demonstration of kinetic isotope effects for selectively deuterated alcohols.

The steady-state kinetics of the oxidation of the following six heteroaromatic substrates by xanthine oxidase have been investigated over the range pH 9.0–11.1 at 25 °C, ionic strength 0.1: 1-methylquinolinium, 6-methoxy-1-methylquinolinium, 1-methylnicotinamide, 3-acetyl-1-methylpyridinium, and 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridinium cations and 1-methylnicotinate zwitterion. For the first four of these species, kc and Km were evaluated as a function of pH while only kc/Km was accessible in the latter two cases. Where available, kc is pH independent, whereas plots of log (kc/Km) vs. pH are linear with slopes in the range 0.54–1.17.The rates of enzymic oxidation of the 1-methylquinolinium cation and its 2-deuterio derivative were investigated and kinetic isotope effects were calculated at pH 9.8 and 10.6: kcH/kcD = 1.7 and KmH/KmD = 0.4 at each pH. Detailed comparisons of the oxidation of heteroaromatic cations and xanthine-derived substrates indicate that similar rate-determining steps control the enzymic oxidations of these two classes of substrate.
