The kinetics of oxidation of thiocyanate to sulphate by aqueous iodine in the pH range 9.2-12.5 have been studied using a spectrophotometric stopped flow technique. The reaction is general base-catalysed, having the rate law ��������������������� -d[I2]a/dt = ([SCN-][I3-]/[I-]2)Σ kB[B] where [I2]a is the total analytical concentration of iodine, [B] is the concentration of base, and where the summation is taken over all bases present. Rate constants, kB, and activation energies have been measured for the bases, OH-, PO43- and CO32-. ��� A mechanism involving the initial steps ����������������� I2+SCN- ↔ ISCN+I- �����������������(rapid equilibrium) ������������� ISCN+H2O+B → HOSCN+I- + HB+ �����������(rate determining) followed by rapid reactions of HOSCN with itself or with iodine is proposed.

The kinetics of oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by aqueous bromine have been investigated using a spectrophotometric stopped flow technique. In the pH range 4.2-5.8 (acetate buffer) the rate law is: - d[Br21,/dt = [Br21[N02 -I2 (a + b/[Br-1) (where [Br,], = [Br2]+[Br,-1) with a = (4.61-0-1) x lo4 l2 m01-~ s-l and b = (3.3 1-0.1) x lo4 1. mol-l s-l at 298.2 K and with the temperature dependences, - R d(lna)/d(l/T) = (46k 4) kJ mol-l and - R d(ln b)/d(l/T) = (45 k 2) kJ mol-'. In the pH range 0.8-2.5 (perchloric acid) the rate law is : - d[Br2],/dt = [HN0212[Br21 (w + v/[Br-l)/(l+ z[H+ItBr,l,) with w = (5.9+0.2)x lo4 l2 m01-~ s-l, v = (3.41-0.1)~ lo4 1, mol-l s-I, and z = (1.90i 0.06) x lo7 l2 mol-2 at 298.2 K. In addition: - R d ln(w/z)/d(l/T) = (31 1 4 ) kJ mol-I and - R d ln(v/z)/d(l/T) = (46 f 4) kJ mol-l In the pH range 2.8-3.3 (chloroacetate buffer) a combination of these two rate laws adequately describes the kinetic results. These rate laws have been interpreted in terms of two reversible initial reactions: 6) NO2- +Br2 + N02Br +Br- (followed by attack on N02Br by NO2-) (ii) NO2-+NO2- (or HNOJ + N204'- (or HN204-) (followed by attack by Br2 upon N204'- or HNZO4- or upon N203 formed from HN204-).

The kinetics of oxidation of proline by periodate has been studied at pH 1.40–8.83 and 30.0 °C. The reaction rate is first order in both periodate and amino acid, and the overall reaction follows second-order kinetics. There was no evidence for the formation of an appreciable amount of intermediate. The reaction rate is highest at pH 4–7 and the oxidation is catalysed by [Formula: see text] ions. The pH dependence of the reaction rate can be explained in terms of reaction of periodate monoanion and the protonated and dipolar forms of the amino acid. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law are consistent with the observed kinetics. The rate constants obtained from the derived rate law are in agreement with the observed rate constants, thus justifying the rate law and the proposed mechanistic scheme. Keywords: oxidation of proline, oxidation by periodate.

In the presence of vast excess of ferrocyanide, over the pH range 1.76–2.65, the reaction between iodate and ferrocyanide ions follows the rate law[Formula: see text]where ka and kb have values of 1.97 × 103 M−2 min−1 and 4.08 × 105 M−3 min−1, respectively, at an ionic strength of 1.18 M and a temperature of 25.0 ± 0.1 °C. K1 is the formation constant of monoprotonated ferrocyanide. The "overall activation energy" of the reaction was found to be 15.8 kcal/mol. Rate-determining steps consistent with the kinetics have been proposed.

The kinetics of oxidation of serine and threonine by periodate have been investigated in acid medium at 10 °C. The reaction rate is first order in both periodate and amino acid, and the overall reaction follows second-order kinetics. The rates decrease with increase in [H+]. A catalytic effect of the buffers was not observed in the oxidation process. An analysis of the dependence of the rate on [H+] reveals that the reactive species under the experimental conditions are periodate monoanion and dianion and the dipolar form of the amino acid. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law are consistent with the observed kinetics. The rate constants predicted using the derived rate law are in agreement with the observed rate constants, thus justifying this rate law and hence the proposed mechanistic scheme.

The kinetics of oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by hypochlorite ions in aqueous basic solution [Formula: see text] have been studied using a dynamic spectrophotometric technique. The rate law is[Formula: see text]At 298.0 K and ionic strength 0.40 M, d = (3.4 ± 0.2) × 10−8 mol l−1 s−1 and e = (2.8 ± 0.2) × 10−6 s−1. The associated activation energies are 56 ± 3 and 61 ± 3 kJ mol−1 respectively. A mechanism is proposed involving the reversible initial step:[Formula: see text]with the NO2Cl undergoing two parallel subsequent reactions, one a unimolecular decomposition and the other an attack by NO2− on NO2Cl.

The kinetics of liquid-phase isothermal esterification of POCl3 with 2-isopropylphenol and 4-isopropylphenol have been studied within the temperature intervals of 110 to 130 and 90 to 110 °C, respectively. The rate constants and activation energies of the individual steps of this three-step reaction have been calculated from the values measured. The reaction rates of the two isomers markedly differ: at 110 °C 4-isopropylphenol reacts faster by the factors of about 7 and 20 for k1 and k3, respectively. This finding can be utilized in preparation of mixed triaryl phosphates, since the alkylation mixture after reaction of phenol with propene contains an excess of 2-isopropylphenol over 4-isopropylphenol.

The oxidation of butan-1-ol by ferricyanide ion in alkaline aqueous solution is catalysed by solutions of ruthenium trichloride hydrate. The kinetics of the reaction has been reinvestigated and the data are consistent with the rate law -d[FeIII]/dt = [Ru](2k1k2 [BuOH] [FeIII])/(2k1 [BuOH]+k2 [FeIII]) This rate law is interpreted by a mechanism involving oxidation of butanol by the catalyst (k1) followed by reoxidation of the catalyst by ferricyanide (k2). The non-linear dependence of the rate on the butanol concentration is ascribed to the rate-determining, butanol-independent reoxidation of the catalyst, rather than to the saturation of complex formation between butanol and the catalyst as previously claimed. Absolute values of the rate constants could not be determined, because some of the ruthenium precipitates from basic solution. With K3RuCl6 as the source of a homogeneous catalyst solution, estimates were obtained at 30�0�C of k1 = 191. mol-1 s-1 and k2 = 1�4 × 103 l. mol-1 s-1.

The kinetics of the reactions of trimethylsilyl enol ethers and enamines (derived from deoxybenzoin, indane-1-one, and α-tetralone) with reference electrophiles (p-quinone methides, benzhydrylium and indolylbenzylium ions) were measured by conventional and stopped-flow photometry in acetonitrile at 20 °C. The resulting second-order rate constants were subjected to a least-squares minimization based on the correlation equation lg k = s N(N + E) for determining the reactivity descriptors N and s N of the silyl enol ethers and enamines. The relative reactivities of structurally analogous silyl enol ethers, enamines, and enolate anions towards carbon-centered electrophiles are determined as 1, 107, and 1014, respectively. A survey of synthetic applications of enolate ions and their synthetic equivalents shows that their behavior can be properly described by their nucleophilicity parameters, which therefore can be used for designing novel synthetic transformations.

Abstract Background: Insulin is one of the most important versatile hormones that is central to regulating the energy and glucose metabolism in the body. There has been accumulating evidence supporting that diabetes was associated with peroxynitrite and protein nitration, and insulin nitration induced by peroxynitrite affected its biological activity. Methods: In this paper, the kinetics of insulin nitration by peroxynitrite in physiological conditions was studied by the stopped flow technique. Results: We determined the values of the reactive rate constants of peroxynitrite decomposition and peroxynitrite-induced tyrosine nitration in the presence of insulin. The activation energy of peroxynitrite decomposition and 3-nitrotyrosine yield in the presence of insulin is 48.8 kJ·mol−1 and 42.7 kJ·mol−1 respectively. Conclusions: It is inferred that the glutamate residue of insulin accelerated peroxynitrite decomposition and tyrosine nitration by reducing the activation energy of reactions. The results could be beneficial for exploring the molecular mechanism of diabetes and offering a new target for diabetes therapies.

1. The kinetics of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol by NAD+, catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, were studied at 25 degrees C from pH 5.5 to 10, and at pH 7.05 from 14 degrees to 44 degrees C, 2. Under all conditions studied the results are consistent with a mechanism whereby some dissociation of coenzyme from the active enzyme-NAD+-alcohol ternary complexes occurs, and the mechanism is therefore not strictly compulsory order. 3. A primary 2H isotopic effect on the maximum rates of oxidation of [1-2H2]butan-1-ol and [2H7]propan-2-ol was found at 25 degrees C over the pH range 5.5-10. Further, in stopped-flow experiments at pH 7.05 and 25 degrees C, there was no transient formation of NADH in the oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol. The principal rate-limiting step in the oxidation of dependence on pH of the maximum rates of oxidation of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol is consisten with the possibility that histidine and cysteine residues may affect or control catalysis.
