The kinetics of the alkaline solvolysis of dichloroacetate ion in water–methanol solutions have been studied in the temperature range of 50.0 to 65.0 °C and the influence of solvent variation on reaction rate has been examined in terms of changes in the activation parameters. The activation parameters ΔH≠ and ΔS≠ for the solvolysis reaction showed a minimum at about 0.8 water mole fraction. The significance of the results was discussed in view of the electrostatic theory and the changing of solvent structure.

The kinetics of the alkaline decarboxylation of trichloroacetate ion in ethanol–water solutions have been studied over the temperature range 35.0 to 70.0 °C. The rate of reaction is first order with respect to the trichloroacetate ion and is independent of the concentration of the hydroxide ion. The reactivity is enhanced by increasing the concentration of ethanol in the water–ethanol solutions and the rate of reaction varies with ethanol addition in a nonlinear manner. The rate of reaction increases with the reciprocal of the dielectric constant of the medium and the plot of log k vs. 1/D is approximately linear for solvent mixtures with less than about 0.7 water mole fraction but is strongly curved towards the pure water end. The activation parameters for the reaction show a regular increase in the solvent composition range 0.3 to 1.0 water mole fraction. The results are discussed in terms of the influence of solvent internal pressure and polarity on reactivity and of the increased amount of hydrogen-bonded structure in the water-rich solutions.

The temperature dependence of the rate of alkaline solvolysis of monochloroacetate ion in water – tert-bulyl alcohol solutions has been determined. The rates of reaction were first order with respect to both the chloroacetate ion and to the total solvoxide ion concentrations. The reactivity is enhanced, first slowly, and then more rapidly, by increasing the concentration of tert-bulyl alcohol in the solvent mixtures. The rate of reaction increases with the reciprocal of the dielectric constant of the medium and the plot of log kvs. 1/D can best be represented by two lines intersecting at a point corresponding to 0.9 water mole fraction. The activation parameters ΔH*and ΔS* for the solvolysis reaction showed a minimum at about 0.9 water mole fraction. The significance of these results from the viewpoint of the electrostatic theory and the changing of solvent structure in such mixtures is discussed.

The kinetics of acid hydrolysis of a number of aliphatic acetals have been studied in dimethyl sulphoxide-water and dioxan-water mixtures. Where possible, experimentally measured medium activity coefficients for the acetals in the solvent systems have been used in order to calculate the transition state activity coefficients as a function of solvent composition. These activity coefficients are compared with those calculated for the transition states of other hydrolytic reactions, and with the known activity coefficients of some stable ions. The results show no features inconsistent with the assumptions of transition state theory.
