The kinetics of the acid-catalysed reaction of prop-2-en-1-ol and 2-methylprop-2-en-1-ol have been measured. The relative reactivity, solvent isotope ( kH+/kD +) and change in acidity effects, and activation parameters, have been determined and found to be similar to those of other alkenes. While this correlation of results for the hydration of both these alkenols can be interpreted in terms of the conventional Ad-E2 mechanism, computed values for the lifetime of possible carbocation intermediates suggest that an alternative mechanism for the reaction of prop-2-en-1-ol, in which nucleophilic attack by the solvent is concerted with protonation, is feasible.

The kinetics have been studied of reactions of the cluster Ru3(CO)11 (P(OEt)3) with a variety of P- and As-donor nucleophiles, L, in alkane solution. Reactions proceed according to the rate equation: kobsd = k1 + k2 [L] and activation parameters for the two paths have been obtained. When combined with activation parameters for Ru3(CO)12 and some other Ru3(CO)11L′ clusters the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are found to lie on a good isokinetic plot. The changes in the activation parameters are consistent with major and systematic changes in the nature of the Ru3(CO)10L′ moieties left after CO dissociation.Analysis of the dependence of log k2 on the electronic and steric nature of the various nucleophiles leads to the derivation of electronic and steric profiles that are characteristic of the cluster, together with values for the intrinsic or standard susceptibility of the cluster towards nucleophilic attack. These kinetic characteristics are compared with those similarly derived for Ru3(CO)12. Keywords: metal carbonyls, ruthenium, clusters, kinetics, mechanisms.

The kinetics of the reaction between trans-[IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2] and a series of 2,4-dinitrophenyl-4-substituted-phenyl disulfides, YC6H4SSC6H3(NO2)2 (Y = Br, F, H, CH3, or CH3O) have been investigated in toluene between 70 and 90°. These reactions were found to follow simple second order kinetics, rate = k2[IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2][YC6H4SSC6H3(NO2)2]. The rates of reaction were also found to be insensitive to the nature of the para substituent, Y. This fact together with the observed activation parameters, ΔH≠ ~ 17 kcal mol−1 and ΔS≠ ~ − 19 cal mol−1 deg−1, have been interpreted as indicating that the initial step in these reactions involves a nucleophilic attack by the iridium atom at the sulfur atom bonded to the 2,4-dinitrophenyl group, followed by the formation of a three-centered transition state. An overall mechanism for these reactions is presented and discussed.

The initial oxidation stages of lactic acid by acid permanganate were investigated. The rate of the induction period was slow and then gradually increased. The kinetics of oxidation were second order, first order with respect to both lactic acid and Mn(VII). The reaction was acid catalyzed. Addition of Mn(II) ions largely increased the rate of the initial stages and decreased the rate of the following stages. The oxidation rate was decreased by the addition of F− or [Formula: see text] ions. The Arrhenius equation was valid for the reaction between 16.5 and 34 °C. Activation parameters were evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the results obtained was proposed.

Non-catalysed and catalysed reactions of aluminium reagents with furans, dihydrofurans and dihydropyrans were investigated and lead to the ring-expanded products due to the formal insertion of the aluminium reagent into a C–O bond of the heterocycle. Specifically, the reaction of [{(ArNCMe)2CH}Al] (Ar = 2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl, 1) with furan, 2-methylfuran, 2,3-dimethylfuran and 2-methoxyfuran proceeded between 25 and 80 ºC leading to ring-expanded and dearomatised products due to the net transformation of a sp2 C–O bond into a sp2 C–Al bond. The kinetics of the reaction of 1 with furan were found to be 1st order with respect to 1 with activation parameters ΔH‡ = +19.7 (± 2.7) kcal mol-1, ΔS‡ = –18.8 (± 7.8) cal K-1 mol-1 and ΔG‡298 K = +25.3 (± 0.5) kcal mol-1 and a KIE of 1.0 ± 0.1. DFT calculations support a stepwise mechanism involving an initial (4+1) cycloaddition of 1 with furan to form a bicyclic intermediate that rearranges by an a-migration. The selectivity of ring-expansion is influenced by factors that weaken the sp2 C–O bond through population of the s*-orbital. Inclusion of [Pd(PCy3)2] as a catalyst in these reactions results in expansion of the substrate scope to include 2,3-dihydrofurans and 3,4-dihydropyrans but also improves the selectivity. Under catalysed conditions, the C–O bond that breaks is that adjacent to C–H bond. The aluminium(III) dihydride reagent [{(MesNCMe)2CH}AlH2] (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, 2) can also be used under catalytic conditions to effect a dehydrogenative ring-expansion of furans. Further mechanistic analysis of the Pd-catalysed reaction of 1 with furan shows that C–O bond functionalisation occurs via an initial C–H bond alumination. Kinetic products can be isolated that are derived from installation of the aluminium reagent at the 2-position of the heterocycle. C–H alumination proceeds with a strong primary KIE of 4.8 ± 0.3 consistent with a turnover limiting step involving oxidative addition of the C–H bond to a palladium catalyst. Isomerisation of the kinetic C–H aluminated product to the thermodynamic C–O ring expansion product is an intramolecular process that is again catalysed by [Pd(PCy3)2]. DFT calculations suggest that the key C–O bond breaking step involves attack of an aluminium based metalloligand on the 2-palladated heterocycle. The new methodology has been applied to the upgrading of molecules derived from furfuraldehyde, an important platform chemical from biomass.

Abstract Kinetics of oxidation of potassium thiocyanate by the oxidant chloramine-T (CAT) in presence of NaOH has been studied at 30 °C. At low substrate concentrations, the approximate rate law is, - d[CAT]/dt = k[CAT][KNCS]/[NaOH]2 . At higher substrate concentrations, the rate law simplifies to, -d[CAT]/dt = k[CAT]/[NaOH]. Ionic strength and addition of p-toluene sulphonamide have negligible influence on the rate. The rate of reaction decreases in D2O medium and the value of the inverse solvent isotope effect, kH2O/kD2O is 0.46. The reaction has been studied at different temperatures and the activation parameters have been calculated.

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl α-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)vinyl ether in aqueous solution at 25 °C occurs with the hydronium ion catalytic coefficient [Formula: see text] and gives the solvent isotope effect [Formula: see text] this indicates that reaction occurs by rate-determining proton transfer from the catalyst to the substrate to generate an alkoxycarbocation intermediate. An oxygen-18 tracer study shows further that, despite the steric hindrance provided by its two ortho substituents, this cation then reacts by addition of water to the cationic carbon atom to generate a hemiacetal, and not by nucleophilic attack of water on the methyl group remote from the carbocationic center:[Formula: see text]

The excess acidity method has been used to analyse the hydration kinetics of the phenylacetylenes Y-C6H4-C≡C-Z in aqueous sulfuric acid mixtures; Z = CF3 (1), H (2), COC6H4-X (3), and CO2H (4). All substrates gave acetophenone-type products consistent with the normal hydration mechanism involving rate-determining vinyl cation formation. Standard-state log k0 intercepts, and m≠m* slopes, were both used in linear free energy relationship plots against the substituent σ+ values. Solvent isotope effects and activation parameters were obtained in some cases. The deactivating Z substituents in 1, 3, and 4 all cause reaction to be some 100 times slower than that of the parent phenylacetylene 2. Compounds 2,3, and 4 all have ρ+ values of about −3.8, but 1 is more substituent sensitive, with a ρ+ of −5.3. A σ+ value of 0.38 is calculated for the CF3C≡C substituent. The ρ+ values were found to be acidity independent for 1 and 2, and probably for 3, but not for 4. Proton transfer at the transition state was found to be most advanced for the fastest reaction, that of 2, contrary to intuition. Keywords: alkyne hydration, excess acidity, phenylacetylenes, vinyl cations, deactivated carbocations.
