The rate of hydrolysis of bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide (sulfur mustard) in aqueous mixtures of ethanol, acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide has been measured and compared with previously reported values. Rate constants in water at 25°C for the two consecutive hydrolysis reactions undergone by sulfur mustard were estimated to be (2.93�0.15)×10-3 and (3.87�0.14)×10-3 s-1. Charge separation of 0.42 in the transition states was indicated together with significant solvation of the positive end of the transition state dipoles.

The rate of hydrolysis of S2O82- ions in acidic medium to peroxomonosulphuric acid was measured at 20 and 30 °C. The composition of the starting solution corresponded to the anolyte flowing out from an electrolyser for production of this acid or its ammonium salt at various degrees of conversion and starting molar ratios of sulphuric acid to ammonium sulphate. The measured data served to calculate the rate constants at both temperatures on the basis of the earlier proposed mechanism of the hydrolysis, and their dependence on the ionic strength was studied.

Second-order rate constants (kN) for reactions of p-nitrophenyl acetate (1) and S-p-nitrophenyl thioacetate (2) with OH‒ have been measured spectrophotometrically in DMSO-H2O mixtures of varying compositions at 25.0 ± 0.1 oC. The kN value increases from 11.6 to 32,800 M‒1s‒1 for the reactions of 1 and from 5.90 to 190,000 M‒1s‒1 for those of 2 as the reaction medium changes from H2O to 80 mol % DMSO, indicating that the effect of medium on reactivity is more remarkable for the reactions of 2 than for those of 1. Although 2 possesses a better leaving group than 1, the former is less reactive than the latter by a factor of 2 in H2O. This implies that expulsion of the leaving group is not advanced in the rate-determining transition state (TS), i.e., the reactions of 1 and 2 with OH‒ proceed through a stepwise mechanism, in which expulsion of the leaving group from the addition intermediate occurs after the rate-determining step (RDS). Addition of DMSO to H2O would destabilize OH‒ through electronic repulsion between the anion and the negative-dipole end in DMSO. However, destabilization of OH‒ in the ground state (GS) is not solely responsible for the remarkably enhanced reactivity upon addition of DMSO to the medium. The effect of medium on reactivity has been dissected into the GS and TS contributions through combination of the kinetic data with the transfer enthalpies (ΔΔHtr) from H2O to DMSO-H2O mixtures for OH‒ ion.

Singh-Jha method is applied to calculate b* of Laidler-Landskroener equation, the distance of closed approach of solvent molecules to the activated complexes in alkaline hydrolysis of vinyl acetate. This method is applied to alkaline hydrolysis of vinyl acetate in water enriched ethanol between 30 °C and 35 °C. The rate of hydrolysis decreases with the increase of content of organic solvent at both temperatures. The size of transition state was found to be large as compared to the initial state. The b* was found to be 3.7693Å which is in agreement with the values obtained earlier.

The rate of hydrolysis of the imido ester methyl acetimidate and its rate of amidination of denatured aldolase were investigated under different conditions of temperature, pH and ionic strength. Both rate constants increase greatly with temperature, whereas ionic strength has no effect on either. The effect of pH is more complex. Between pH 6.8 and 8.8 the rate of hydrolysis decreases and the rate of amidination increases. These results are discussed in terms of the reaction mechanisms involved.

Stability Constants Of Complexes

Stability constants of complexes formed between silver(I) and diethyl sulfide, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide and bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide (sulfur mustard) in acetone, methanol, dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide have been determined. The reduced stability of silver(I) complexes with ligands containing a 2-chloroethyl group has been explained in terms of the sulfonium ion character of the ligands.

The cyclic five-membered phosphonium ion 2b (2-(2′-hydroxyethoxy)-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospholan-2-ylium) derived from ring-opening of the (5,5)-spirophosphorane 1b (5-phenyl-1,4,6,9-tetraoxa-5-phosphaspiro[4,4]nonane) has been observed in neat CF3SO3H and at >85% H2SO4. The cation undergoes hydrolysis in the latter solutions, and an extrapolation has been carried out to obtain an estimate for reactivity in 100% water. Hydrolysis rate constants for phenyltrialkoxyphosphonium ions in water are 107, 100, and 5 × 10−3 s−1 for cyclic five-membered, cyclic six-membered, and acyclic derivatives respectively; these show an excellent correlation with rate constants for a similar series of phosphate esters. An investigation of the hydrolysis of the (5,6)-spirophosphorane 5 (5-phenyl-8,8-dimethyl-1,4,6,10-tetraoxa-5-phosphaspiro[4,5]decane) provides a clue as to the origins of these rate differences. This phosphorane can in principle hydrolyze via two isomeric cyclic phosphonium ions, the six-membered 14 and the five-membered 15. The former is thermodynamically more stable, being the only cation observed under equilibrating conditions of strong acid. However, the hydrolysis of the spirophosphorane, as well as the hydrolysis of fully formed 14, channels through the cyclic five-membered 15. A thermodynamic breakdown reveals that the 9.5 kcal mol−1 difference in activation free energy for the hydrolysis of five- and six-membered cyclic phosphonium ions is due to a combination of a higher free energy (2.5–4.5 kcal mol−1) for the five-membered cation, and a lower free energy (7–5 kcal mol−1) for the pentacoordinate transition state with the five-membered ring. This analysis also shows that a (5,6)-spirophosphorane is 6–8 kcal mol−1 more stable than a (6,6)-spirophosphorane. Thus, a five-membered ring has a significant stabilizing effect on a pentacoordinated phosphorus structure. The accelerated hydrolysis of cyclic phosphonium ions and phosphate esters with five-membered rings is caused by a combination of this stabilizing effect in the transition state and a destabilizing effect in the ground state associated with ring strain. Key words: phosphorane, hydrolysis, phosphate, phosphonium.

Rate Behaviour

Rates of hydrolysis of phosphato complexes of oobalt(111) in perchloric acid media ranging from 10-3 to 11.4M have been measured by the rates of release of phosphate from 32P-labelled phosphato complexes. First-order rate behaviour is exhibited under all conditions and half-times range from hours to minutes within the range 45-70�. Bidentate phosphato complexes exhibit the same rates of hydrolysis as the corresponding monodentate complexes due to a rapid conversion of the bidentate into the monodentate form. Rate constants have been measured for three distinct protonated complexes (PI, P2, P3). At 60� these rate constants, expressed in the order of aquo-tetraammine, -penhammine, and ?bisethylenediamine complexes, are PI: 74.0, 1.20, 5.5 X 10-3 min-1; P2: 2.5, 1.20, 0.40 x 10-3 min-1; P3: 20.0, 9.0, 5.5 x 10-3 min-1. A tetraprotonated complex (P4) is incompletely generated even in 11.4M HClO4 where observed rate constants at 60� are 8.2, 3.4, 7.0 x 10-2 min-1 respectively. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is considered important in the P1 and P2 species, especially in the cis-aquophosphato complexes. The rate of hydrolysis of P3 complexes is linearly dependent on the activity of the water solvent consistent with a mechanism involving SN2 attack of water at a cobalt(111) centre. The P4 complex is considered to hydrolyse via an SNICA mechanism.
