Kinetic studies of the hydrolysis of Z-aryl hydrogen maleates (Z = H, p-CH3, m-CH3, p-Cl, m-Cl) were carried out in the presence and absence of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) at variable pH from 1.00 to 3.00. The reaction involves the formation of maleic anhydride as an intermediate and the rate of its formation is strongly dependent on the pH. This is because the neighboring carboxylate group is a better catalyst than the carboxylic group. The rate constant for the formation of maleic anhydride decreases as the HPCD concentration increases in a nonlinear fashion. The results were interpreted in terms of the formation of a 1:1 inclusion complex of the esters with HPCD. The neutral (HA) and anionic (A) species of the substrate have different association constants (K[Formula: see text] and K[Formula: see text]). In all cases studied, K[Formula: see text] is higher than K[Formula: see text] for the same substrate. This difference is responsible for a decrease in the amount of the anionic substrate (reactive species) in the presence of HPCD, which results in a diminution of the observed rate constant. Besides, the rate constant for the reaction of the complexed substrate is smaller than that in the bulk solution indicating that the transition state of the cyclodextrin mediated reaction is less stabilized than the anionic substrate. The values of ΔΔG‡ are almost independent of the substituent on the aryl ring and range within 0.48 and 1.05 kcal mol–1 (1 cal = 4.184 J). There is no correlation between KTS and the association constant of the substrate indicating that the factors stabilizing the transition state are different from those that stabilize the substrate. Key words: cyclodextrins, intramolecular catalysis, hydrolysis, inhibition.

ABSTRACTThe kinetics of hydrolysis of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane and di-t-butyldimesitylcyclodisiloxane in tetrahydrofuran solution have been determined and compared to hydrolysis rates of silica defects. In the presence of sufficient excess witer, the first-order rate constant of the cyclotrisiloxine, k= 3.8 × 10−3 min is similar to the rate constant, k = 5.2 × 10−1 min, of the disappearance of the D2 Raman silica defect band it has been proposed to model. Limited hydrolysis rate data for the cyclodisiloxane suggests that it hydrolyzes at least four times faster than does the cyclotrisiloxane. These data are consistent with rate data available for silica crack growth and support the assignment of highly strained siloxane bonds at the crack tip to cyclodisiloxanes. Infrared spectra determined for the cyclodisiloxanes lend further support to this model.

The kinetics of methanolysis of acetyl imidazole (1) and acetyl pyrazole (2) have been investigated under anhydrous conditions in the presence of Zn(ClO4)2, Co(ClO4)2, and HClO4 at 25°C. In all cases, the plots of the pseudo-first-order rate constant for methanolysis (kobs) vs. [metal ion] or [HClO4] show saturation behavior indicative of equilibrium binding of the M2+ or H+ to the amide. Relative to the spontaneous methanolysis rate constant (ko), the catalytic rate constant obtained at saturation, kcat, is larger for metal-ion catalysis than for H+ catalysis. The (kcatH+/ko) ratio is 10.7 and 1.25 for 1 and 2, respectively, while the (kcatM2+/ko) for these divalent metals varies from 150-fold for 1 to between 700 and 5700-fold for 2. By contrast, in water, proton is far more effective at promoting the hydrolysis of 1 than are metals, the aqueous (kcatH+/ko) ratio being 560, while the (kcatZn2+ /ko) and (kcatNi2+/ko) ratios are 15 and 3.2, respectively.Key words: methanolysis, kinetics, metal-ion catalysis, acetyl imidazole, acetyl pyrazole.

Sorption and preconcentration of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+ on a salen-type Schiff base, 2,2'- [ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]bis(2-methylphenol), chemically immobilized on a highly crosslinked agarose support, were studied. Kinetic studies showed higher sorption rates of Cu2+ and Fe3+ in comparison with Zn2+. Half-times (t1/2) of 31, 106 and 58 s were obtained for sorption of Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+ by the sorbent, respectively. Effects of pH, eluent concentration and volume, ionic strength, buffer concentration, sample volume and interferences on the recovery of the metal ions were investigated. A 5-ml portion of 0.4 M HCl solution was sufficient for quantitative elution of the metal ions from 0.5 ml of the sorbent packed in a 6.5 mm i.d. glass column. Quantitative recoveries were obtained in a pH range 5.5-6.5 for all the analytes. The volumes to be concentrated exceeding 500 ml, ionic strengths as high as 0.5 mol l-1, and acetate buffer concentrations up to 0.3 mol l-1 for Zn2+ and 0.4 mol l-1 for Cu2+ and Fe3+ did not have any significant effect on the recoveries. The system tolerated relatively high concentrations of diverse ions. Preconcentration factors up to 100 and detection limits of 0.31, 0.16 and 1.73 μg l-1 were obtained for Cu2+, Zn2+ and Fe3+, respectively, for their determination by a flame AAS instrument. The method was successfully applied to the metal ion determinations in several river water samples with good accuracy.

AbstractPhosphate ester hydrolysis is essential in signal transduction, energy storage and production, information storage and DNA repair. In this investigation, hydrolysis of adenosine monophosphate disodium salt (AMPNa2) was carried out in acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions of pH ranging between 0.30-12.71 at 60°C. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically. The rate ranged between (1.20 ± 0.10) × 10-7 s-1 to (4.44 ± 0.05) × 10-6 s-1 at [NaOH] from 0.0008 M to 1.00M recorded a second-order base-catalyzed rate constant, kOH as 4.32 × 10-6 M-1 s-1. In acidic conditions, the rate ranged between (1.32 ± 0.06) × 10-7 s-1 to (1.67 ± 0.10) × 10-6 s-1 at [HCl] from 0.01 M to 1.00 M. Second-order acid-catalyzed rate constant, kH obtained was 1.62 × 10-6 M-1 s-1. Rate of reaction for neutral region, k0 was obtained from graphical method to be 10-7 s-1. Mechanisms were proposed to involve P-O bond cleavage in basic medium while competition between P-O bond and N-glycosidic cleavage was observed in acidic medium. In conclusion, this study has provided comprehensive information on the kinetic parameters and mechanism of cleavage of AMPNa2 which mimicked natural AMP cleavage and the action of enzymes that facilitate its cleavage.

The hydrolysis of 2-acetyloxybenzoic acid in the pH range 6-12 has been studied in the presence of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) and cetylpyridinium chloride (cpc). In the plateau region (pH 6-8) the hydrolysis is inhibited by the presence of micelles, while in the region where the normal BAC2 hydrolysis (pH > 9) occurs the reaction is catalysed by micelles of ctab and cpc. The mechanism of hydrolysis in the plateau region is shown to involve general base catalysis by the adjacent ionized carboxy group both in the presence and absence of micelles. This reaction is inhibited in the presence of micelles because the substrate molecules are solubilized into the micelle and water is less available in this environment than in normal aqueous solution.
