The kinetics of acid-catalyzed cyclization of the hydantoinamides type R3-N(5)H-CO-N(3)R2-CH2-CO-N(1)HR1 (R1, R2, R3 = H and/or CH3) has been studied in 0·5 to 5 mol l-1 hydrochloric acid. The cyclization rate is limited by the rate of the attack of nitrogen atom N(5) on the carbon atom of the protonated amide group. The dissociation constants of the protonated hydantoinamides and rate constants of their cyclizations have been determined. Replacement of hydrogen atom by methyl group at the N(5) nitrogen atom accelerates the cyclization about two times., the same substitution at N(3) accelerates about 50x, whereas at N(1) it results in a 300 fold retardation. With the hydantoinamides having R3 = CH3, the cyclization rate of the protonated hydantoinamide increases with increasing concentration of hydrochloric acid, whereas with the other derivatives this value is independent of the acid concentration.

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.

Methyl Derivatives

Dissociation constants and methanolysis rate constants have been measured of 1-acetyl- and 1-benzoylthioureas and their N-methyl derivatives. Replacement of hydrogen atom at N(1) (next to the acyl group) by methyl group increases the acidity of the benzoyl derivative by one order, that of the acetyl derivative by as much as two orders of magnitude. Replacement of both hydrogens at N(3) by methyl groups lowers the methanolysis rate constant by more than two orders, whereas the replacement of hydrogen atom at N(1) by methyl group increases the methanolysis rate by the factor of 30.

A number of lumazines and 5-deazalumazines containing a methyl group at C-7 have been prepared, their pKBH+ values determined, and measurements made of the rates at which the hydrogen atoms of their 7-methyl groups undergo isotopic exchange in aqueous sulfuric acid. The presence of an alkyl group at N-8 in the protonated forms of these compounds activates the neighbouring methyl group at C-7; the effect is considerably larger than that previously observed for a methyl group at C-6, which is the other neighbouring position. The comparison of methyl and hydrogen at N-8 can be made only for the acid-catalyzed reaction because the structures of the neutral compounds, which take part in the base-catalyzed reaction, are not analogous.

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of methyl 2-chloro-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside have been determined in hydrochloric acid solutions over a range of acid concentrations and temperatures. Chloro substitution reduces the rate by a factor of 35 compared with the hydroxy analogue. Application of the Hammett criterion indicates a unimolecular (A-1) mechanism of hydrolysis, as does application of the Bunnett criterion. The entropy of activation, however, is considerably smaller than that observed for the hydrolysis of methyl β-d-glucopyranoside. This is interpreted as being indicative of partial A-2 character.

The rates of conversion of C6H5C≡COCH3 to C6H5CH2CO2CH3 were measured in dilute HClO4/H2O, DCIO4/D2O, and H3PO4–H2PO2−/H2O buffer solutions, and the rates of conversion of C6H5C≡CSCH3 to C6H5CH2COSCH3, C6H5C≡CH to C6H5COCH3, 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2C≡CH to 2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2COCH3, and p-CH3OC6H4C≡CCH3 to p-CH3OC6H4COCH2CH3 were measured in concentrated HClO4/H2O solutions, all at 25 °C. The reaction of C6H5C≡COCH3 showed general acid catalysis and gave the isotope effect [Formula: see text], which indicates that it proceeds through rate-determining proton transfer from catalyst to substrate. The hydronium ion catalytic coefficient for this reaction is [Formula: see text], and those for the other four, in the order given above, are [Formula: see text], and 8.5 × 10−6 M−1 s−1. Relative reactivities based on these rate constants are discussed.

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetophenone dimethyl acetal (ADMA) and trimethyl orthobenzoate (TMOB) is retarded by cyclodextrins (CDs): α-CD, β-CD, hb-β-CD = "hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin", and γ-CD. The observed first order rate constants (kobs) vary with [CD] in the manner expected for 1:1 binding between the substrates and the CDs. Similar behaviour was found recently for the hydrolysis of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal (BDMA). With β-CD and hp-β-CD, the binding of all three substrates (BDMA, ADMA, TMOB) is strong and the CD-bound forms have very little reactivity. By contrast, substrate binding by α-CD is much weaker, and the CD-bound forms have appreciable, though reduced, reactivity. Substrate binding by γ-CD is also relatively weak, but the bound substrates have very low reactivities. The hydrolysis reactions of ADMA, TMOB, and BDMA have been evaluated as kinetic probes of the binding of guests to CD hosts. For α-CD, β-CD, and hp-β-CD, the addition of guests reduces the amount of free CD and thereby alleviates retardation of the hydrolysis by the CD. The resultant increases in hydrolysis rates can be analyzed to provide estimates of CD-guest dissociation constants, KG. For aliphatic alcohols and ketones binding to β-CD and hp-β-CD, all three probe reactions provide values of KG that agree well with each other and with literature values determined by other methods. The approach does not work well with α-CD because of its much weaker binding of the kinetic probes and their less pronounced dependence of kobs on [α-CD]. In the case of γ;-CD, the approach cannot be used because added guests cause a further lowering in the rate of hydrolysis, suggesting the formation of an unreactive ternary (substrate·CD·guest) complex.Key words: acetal, hydrolysis, cyclodextrin, host-guest, binding.

Kinetics of hydrochloric acid-catalyzed solvolysis of substituted phenyl and methyl N-phenylbenzimidoesters have been studied in methanol, 50 vol. % aqueous methanol, and 50 vol. % aqueous tetrahydrofurane, and the composition of the reaction products has been determined. The rate-limiting step consists in addition of water or methanol to the protonated substrate. The reaction of methyl N-phenylbenzimidoester with both water and methanol and that of substituted phenyl N-phenylbenzimidoesters with methanol produce aniline, the ester (or orthoester) and the corresponding phenol. The reaction of substituted phenyl N-phenylbenzimidoesters with water gives both the neutral tetrahedral intermediate (which is decomposed into phenol and anilide) and the protonated intermediate (which produces aniline and the ester). At the same proton concentration the phenol content increases with increasing value of the σ constant of the substituent.
