Tautomerism of the title compound in methanol in the presence of buffers is subject to general acid and base catalysis. The rate-limiting step of the acid-catalyzed reaction consists in addition of the proton to the methine carbon atom of the enamine form, whereas that of the base catalyzed reaction consists in protonation of the formed conjugated base of the enamine. Solvent effects on the equilibrium constant of the isomerization have been measured.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.

The effect of acids on the decomposition of 3-methyl-1,3-diphenyltriazene has been studied in aqueous ethanol (40% (v/v) ethanol). The dependences found between the rate constant and acid concentration have been analyzed by means of non-linear regression using models including the specific and general catalysis and formation of associates between the substrate and the buffer components. The substrate has been found to form electrostatic associates with the conjugated base of acid. The complex formed is decomposed with the assistance of the proton or a general acid in the rate-limiting step to form the product. The Bronsted coefficient α = 0.81 has been found. Investigation of the activation parameters supports the earlier conclusions, indicating a dependence between the reaction mechanism and composition of the aqueous organic solvent.

Kinetics has been studied of cyclization of 2-acetyl-3-methylamino-N-benzoyl-2-betenethioamide (Ia) and 2-acetyl-3-amino-N-benzoyl-2-butenethioamide (Ib) giving 5-acetyl-2-phenyl-1,6-dimethyl-4-(1H)pyrimidinethione (IIa) and 5-acetyl-2-phenyl-6-methyl-4-(3H)-pyrimidinethione (IIb), respectively, in aqueous buffers within pH 2 to 9. Formation of the cyclic intermediate is rate-limiting in the cyclization of Ib within the whole range. In the case of Ia the rate-limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of water from the cyclic intermediate above pH 5 and in base-catalyzed splitting off of hydroxyl ion above pH 7.

The cyclization reactions of substituted 2-(N-benzoyl-N-methyl)aminoalkanamides 1a-1g have been studied in aqueous medium. The Hammett reaction constant is ρ = 1.4 for the cyclization reactions of compounds 1a-1e in sodium hydroxide solutions. 2-[N-Methyl- N-(4-nitrobenzoyl)amino]-2-(4-nitrophenyl)propanamide (1g) is cyclized to imidazolinone 2g in aqueous amine buffers of pH 9-11.5; the reaction is subject to specific base catalysis in these media, and the rate-limiting step is the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. In sodium hydroxide solution, the primary cyclization product is hydrolyzed to give an intermediate M which is subsequently decomposed to sodium 4-nitrobenzoate and 2-methylamino- 2-(4-nitrophenyl)propanamide. At low sodium hydroxide concentration, the rate-limiting step of the opening of imidazoline ring of compound 2g is non-catalyzed decomposition of the intermediate. At higher sodium hydroxide concentrations, the other reaction path begins to make itself felt: hydroxide-ion-catalyzed decomposition of the intermediate. The dependence of observed rate constant of cyclization of compound 1f on sodium hydroxide concentration was used to determine kinetically the value of pKa = 13.5 ± 0.1. The kinetic deuterium isotope effect of cyclization of compounds 1f giving 2f (kCH/kCD = 1.7) was determined in solutions of NaOD in D2O.

The kinetics of reaction of 4-methoxybenzenediazonium ion (3) with 2,6-dihydroxypyridine (1) has been studied in methoxyacetate, acetate, and phosphate buffers. The rate-limiting step is the formation of the reaction intermediate and not the splitting off of the proton (which was detected in the cases of citrazinic acid and its methyl ester). Therefrom it follows that for 2,6-dihydroxypyridine derivatives the steric hindrance to the formation of the Wheland intermediate exerted by CO2- and CO2CH3 groups represents a necessary condition for the rate-limiting splitting off of the proton and, hence, for the existence of general base catalysis.

The effects of different substituents located at the para position of the aromatic ring and β carbon atom of the styrene on the reaction were investigated. The results showed that the reaction steps with higher energy barriers changed a little with the substituents of the reactants, which indicates that the reaction has a good adaptability to reactants containing different substituents. It was found the proton transfer in the final tautomerism step of nitroso intermediate to oxime is the rate limiting step under anhydrous conditions. Although the solvent effect did not influence the the rate limiting step significantly, the water mediated proton transfer significantly decreased the energy barrier of final tautomerism step. Compared with the direct proton transfer in vacuum, the energy barrier of the final tautomerism step decreased from 57.80kcal/mol in vacuum to 12.98kcal/mol with the water mediated proton transfer in water, which declined by 77.5%. When water participates in rate-limiting steps in organic solvents, the energy barrier also decreases significantly, which indicates that a small amount of water in the organic solvent is conducive to the reaction. This study is of great significance for the application of bifunctionalized reaction in the synthesis of organic fluoride compounds with different substituents.

<div>Footwear, carpet, soft furnishings, automotive interiors, and multi-layer packaging are examples of products manufactured from several types of polymers whose inextricability poses significant challenges for recycling at end-of-life. Here, we show that chemical circularity in mixed-polymer recycling becomes possible by controlling the rates of depolymerization of polydiketoenamines (PDKs) over several orders of magnitude through molecular engineering. Stepwise deconstruction of mixed-PDK composites, laminates, and assemblies is chemospecific, allowing a prescribed subset of monomers, fillers, and additives to be recovered in pristine condition at each stage of the recycling process. We provide a theoretical framework to understand PDK depolymerization via acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and experimentally validate trends predicted for the rate-limiting step. The control achieved by PDKs in managing thermal and materials entropy points to new opportunities for pairing circular design with sustainable manufacturing.</div>
