Twelve substituted 1-(2-aryloxycarbonylphenyl)-3-phenyltriazenes have been synthetized and kinetics of their reactions have been measured in 52.1% (by mass) aqueous methanol at pH 3 to 11. Plots of kobs vs pH show three regions: noncatalyzed cyclization (pH 4 to 7), acid-catalyzed splitting of the triazene chain, and base-catalyzed cyclization. The non-catalyzed cyclization exhibits a kinetic isotope effect, the reaction constant ρ = 2.69 (σ-p), and β1g = 1.02, which indicates a mechanism of E1cB type with intramolecular proton transfer and a transient formation of a ketene intermediate. The base-catalyzed cyclization, on the other hand, exhibits the reaction constant ρ = 1.05 (σ-p), β1g = 0.4, and distinct steric effects, which indicates a cyclization by BAc2 mechanism with rate-limiting formation of the tetrahedral intermediate.

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.

Eight derivatives of 1-(2-alkoxycarbonylphenyl)-3-phenyltriazene (R = methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, hexyl, and allyl) have been synthesized and their UV-VIS, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra measured. The NMR spectra have been interpreted in detail. The kinetics of acid-catalyzed decomposition and base-catalyzed cyclization of the title compounds have been measured in 52.1% w/w methanol at 25.0 °C. The unit reaction order has been verified and the cyclization product has been identified. The pH-profiles obtained have been used to calculate the catalytic rate constants kA (acid-catalyzed decomposition) and kB (base-catalyzed cyclization) of all the derivatives; the constants have been interpreted with regard to inductive and steric effects. The catalytic rate constant kA has been found to be independent of the substituents. The catalytic rate constant kB depends statistically significantly upon both inductive and steric effects, the sensitivity to the former being more significant. The experimental results and their interpretation confirm the base-catalyzed cyclization mechanism with formation of tetrahedral intermediate as the rate-limiting step.

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.

Kinetics of formation of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from 24 substitution derivatives of O-benzoylbenzamidoxime have been studied in sulphuric acid and aqueous ethanol media. It has been found that this medium requires introduction of the Hammett H0 function instead of the pH scale beginning as low as from 0.1% solutions of mineral acids. Effects of the acid concentration, ionic strength, and temperature on the reaction rate and on the kinetic isotope effect have been followed. From these dependences and from polar effects of substituents it was concluded that along with the cyclization to 1,2,4-oxadiazoles there proceeds hydrolysis to benzamidoxime and benzoic acid. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled by the acid-base equilibrium of the O-benzylated benzamidoximes.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields is employed to study the reaction kinetics of the Si(OCH3)4:CH3OH:H2O sol-gel system. Both the overall extent of reaction as a function of time and the equilibrium distribution of species are measured. In acid catalyzed solution, condensation is the rate limiting step while in base catalyzed solution, hydrolysis becomes rate limiting. A kinetic model in which the rate of hydrolysis is assumed to be independent of the adjacent functional groups is presented. This model correctly predicts the distribution of product species during the initial stages of the sol-gel reaction.

Four N-(phenylazo)-substituted saturated nitrogen heterocyclics were synthesized and their structure was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The kinetics of their acid-catalyzed decomposition were studied at various concentrations of the catalyst (pivalic acid) in 40, 30, and 20% (v/v) aqueous ethanol at 25 °C. The values obtained for the observed rate constants were processed by the non-linear regression method according to the suggested kinetic models and by the method of principal component analysis (PCA). The interpretation of the results has shown that the acid-catalyzed decomposition of the heterocyclics under the conditions used proceeds by the mechanism of general acid catalysis, the proton being the dominant catalyst particle of the rate-limiting step. The decrease in the observed rate constant at higher concentrations of the catalyst was explained by the formation of a non-reactive complex composed of the undissociated acid and the respective N-(phenylazo)heterocycle. The effect of medium and steric effect of the heterocyclic moiety on the values of catalytic rate constant are discussed.

Kinetics of oxidation of 1- and 2-acetylnaphthalenes by iodate in the presence of sulphuric acid in aqueous methanol has been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to both [iodate] and [acetylnaphthalene]. Solvent effect indicates a cation-dipole type of interaction in the rate limiting step. A mechanism is proposed with a slow attack of IO2+ on enol form of acetylnaphthalene forming an intermediate carbonium ion, which ultimately gives corresponding ω-hydroxyacetylnaphthalene. The higher reactivity of 2-acetyl isomer is attributed to the greater stability of the corresponding carbonium ion than that of 1-acetyl isomer.

Rates of hydrolysis have been measured for o-methylbenzylideneaniline, o-hydroxybenzylideneaniline, and benzylideneaniline in various buffer solutions in 20% (by volume) aqueous methanol at 29.9 °C. Rate constants for the o-CH3 compound and the unsubstituted Schiff base agree within experimental error which indicates that there is no appreciable rate retarding steric effect. The o-OH group decreases the hydrolysis rate at pH = 5.6 – 6.6 by approximately one power of ten. This effect is caused by the hydrogen bond between the OH group and the azomethine N, which renders the Schiff base less accessible to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis.
