The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of maleic and fumaric acids monomethyl esters were studied as function of the temperature, ionic strength, and relative permittivity of the reaction medium. Electrostatic and nonelectrostatic contributions of the interaction energies of reacting species were calculated from the measured data and compared with the experimental activation energy values. The dependence of the rate constant on the temperature brings an evidence for the mutual compensation of the electrostatic and nonelectrostatic effects.

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.

Some contradictory points recorded for the alkaline hydrolysis of nitriles have been clarified by a study of propionitrile hydrolysis in aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions of concentration 0.3 to 4 N. It has been shown that the rate of alkaline hydrolysis of propionitrile is given by the rate of formation of total ammonia and intermediate amide and not by that of ammonia alone. The relative rates of propionitrile and propionamide hydrolysis were found to be approximately 1:10 over the whole alkali concentration range. The bimolecular velocity constant is essentially independent of alkali concentration. An activation energy of 20,300 cal. was determined for the reaction in 0.65 N alkali.

The dependence of the rate constant of alkaline hydrolysis of diphenic acid monomethyl ester and terephthalic acid monomethyl ester on ionic strength and temperature was studied together with the specific influence of some electrolytes on the reaction rate. Thermodynamic activation parameters extrapolated to zero ionic strength and critical interionic distances of reacting ions were calculated from the temperature dependences of the rate constants.

The kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of succinic acid monomethyl and monopropyl esters were studied in mixed aqueous-nonaqueous media at various temperatures and ionic strengths. The results of measurements are discussed in terms of electrostatic and specific interactions between the reactants and other components of the reaction mixture. The kinetic parameters in the media under study are related to the influence of the cosolvent on the solvation sphere of the reactants.

Abstract The substance BK 129 - 1-[2-(2-pentyloxyphenylcarbamoyloxy)-(2-methoxymethyl)-ethyl]-perhydroazepinium chloride was prepared in terms of influence of the connecting chain between the carbamate functional group and the basic part of molecule on biological activity. Such a structural feature is important with regard to its stability. In this work we determined the rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of this compound at increased temperature under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The hydrolysis was also performed in buffer solutions with the purpose of evaluating its stability. Non-isothermal tests of stability enable to reduce the number of analyses. The necessary data for stability of compound are in this way achieved in a short time.

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.
