The standard free energies of transfer [Formula: see text] of the 2-carbomethoxypropionate ion (R−) have been determined from the solubilities of the silver salt (AgR) in water and six aqueous mixtures of ethylene glycol (1–60%) at 25 °C, using the literature values of [Formula: see text] of Ag+. Utilizing these values of the R− ion as well as the literature values of [Formula: see text] of the OH− ion, combined with the experimental values of ΔG≠ for the alkaline hydrolysis of R− ion, the corresponding transfer parameters of the transition states [Formula: see text] for the hydrolysis reaction in aquo-glycolic media at 25 °C have been calculated. Attempts have been made to correlate the rates and activation parameters with the transfer quantities and solvent properties.

Summary Nonphenolic β-0-4 erythro and threo lignin model diastereomers with various γ-groups (CH3, CH2-O-CH3, and CH2OH) and Cα-substituents (OH, OCH3) were synthesized, and the alkaline hydrolysis rates and activation parameters determined. In addition, two of the diastereomer pairs were computationally modeled and the thermodynamic values for the ionization of the α- or γ-hydroxyl, and subsequent displacement of the phenolate group to form an epoxide intermediate, were determined. The results suggest that the erythro γ-hydroxyl may participate in the hydrolysis to a significant extent, which results in a relatively high erythro/threo rate ratio for the α,γ-di-OH isomers. The influence of the erythro γ-hydroxyl on the hydrolysis rate may be due to the relatively favorable stability of the erythro γ-oxyanion. The electronic effect of the g-substituent appears to influence how fast the α-hydroxyl displaces the phenoxyl. We had previously suggested that the γ-substituent sterically inhibits hydrolysis of the threo isomer, and computational modeling confirmed this.

The alkaline hydrolysis of diphenic acid monomethyl ester was studied in mixtures of water with methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, and acetone. The dependences of the rate constant on the concentration of the nonaqueous component at different temperatures were obtained and the activation parameters at an isodielectric composition of the reaction medium were determined. The influence of the ionic strength on the reaction rate in the mentioned media was studied and conclusions were drawn as to the role of specific interactions between the reacting ions in the kinetics and mechanism of the studied reaction.
