Synthesis of 2- (5a), 3- (5b) and 4-formyl-1-methylpyridinium iodides (5c) and (2,2-dihydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride (6a) is described. In aqueous solution aldehydes 5 exist predominantly as hydrates - geminal diols 7. The ability of the geminal diols 6a and 7 to reactivate acetylcholinesterase inhibited by isopropyl methylfluorophosphonate (Sarin) was tested in vitro. Although compounds 6a and 7 exhibit an affinity towards the acetylcholinesterase bonding site comparable with that of the natural substrate acetylcholine, their reactivation ability was negligible. Second-order rate constants for cleavage of 4-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate (PNPDPP) with anions of the studied geminal diols were measured in order to determine their nucleophilicity.

The second-order rate constants for the thallium(III)-induced aquation of cis-[Co(en)2(RNH2)Cl]2+ cations, where R is H, Me, Et, Prn, and Pri, have been measured in aqueous solution over a range of temperatures, and the activation parameters calculated. The kinetic results are discussed in terms of a rapid pre-equilibrium formation of an activated complex Co-Cl-Tl, followed by a simple rate-determining aquation in which TlCl2+ acts as the leaving group, although the alternative possibility of a rate-determining attack by Tl3+ cannot be excluded. In the case of R = H, the investigations have been extended to the corresponding bromo cation which reacts some 50 times faster than its chloro analogue.

This paper describes the results of experiments on the decomposition of selected nonylphenols (NPs) in aqueous solutions using the UV, UV/H2O2, O3 and UV/O3 processes. The goal of the research was to determine the kinetic parameters of the above-mentioned processes, and to estimate their effectiveness. These substances were selected because of their ubiquitous occurrence in the aquatic environment, resistance to biodegradation and environmental significance. As a result of the experiments, the quantum yields of the 4-n-nonylphenol (4NP) and NP (technical mixture) photodegradation in aqueous solution were calculated to be 0.15 and 0.17, respectively. The values of the second-order rate constants of the investigated compounds with hydroxyl radical and NP with ozone were also determined. The estimated second-order rate constants of 4NP and NP with hydroxyl radicals were equal to 7.6 × 108–1.3 × 109 mol−1 L s−1. For NP, the determined rate constant with ozone was equal to 2.01 × 106 mol−1 L s−1. The performed experiments showed that NP was slightly more susceptible to degradation by the UV radiation and hydroxyl radicals than 4NP. The study demonstrated also that the polychromatic UV-light alone and also in combination with selected oxidizers (i.e. hydrogen peroxide, ozone) may be successfully used for the removal of selected NPs from the aqueous medium.

Second-order rate constants (k1) for the σ-complexation of 4-nitrobenzofurazan 1 with four 4-X-substituted phenoxide anions 2a–2d (X = OCH3, CH3, H and Cl) were measured in aqueous solution at 20 °C. Using this series of phenoxide anions as a reference, the electrophilicity parameter (E) of this electrophile 1 has been evaluated according to Mayr’s approach. With the E value of –9.42, Mayr’s equation was found to correctly predict the rate constants for the reactions of 1 with hydroxide ion in H2O and a 1:1 ratio of H2O to CH3CN. However, the large βnuc value of 1.12 obtained in the present work is clearly consistent with a single electron transfer (SET) mechanism.

The reactions of the sulfoxides and sulfones of sulfur mustard and an analogue, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide, with hydroxide ion in aqueous solution at 25° have been studied. In contrast with the behaviour of the parent sulfides, for which exclusive substitution of chlorine is observed under comparable conditions, the oxidized compounds react through base-catalysed elimination of HCl to give the corresponding alkenes. Second-order rate constants for these reactions are reported and implications for the metabolism of sulfur mustard are discussed.

The second-order rate constants for the mercury(II)-induced aquation of some cis-chloropyridinebis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) cations have been measured in aqueous solution over a range of temperatures. The results are interpreted in terms of the formation of an activated complex Co-Cl-Hg, which yields the aquo product by a unimolecular aquation with HgCl+ as the leaving group. The competitive influences of the steric and inductive effects of alkyl substituents are discussed.

SummaryRecombinant chimaeric molecules between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and single chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) or two chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (tcu-PA) have intact enzymatic properties of scu-PA or tcu-PA towards natural and synthetic substrates (Nelles et al., J Biol Chem 1987; 262: 10855-10862). In the present study, we have compared the reactivity with inhibitors of both the single chain and two chain variants of recombinant u-PA and two recombinant chimaeric molecules between t-PA and scu-PA (t-PA/u-PA-s: amino acids 1-263 of t-PA and 144-411 of u-PA; t-PA/u-PA-e: amino acids 1-274 of t-PA and 138-411 of u-PA). Incubation with human plasma in the absence of a fibrin clot for 3 h at 37° C at equipotent concentrations (50% clot lysis in 2 h), resulted in significant fibrinogen breakdown (to about 40% of the normal value) for all two chain molecules, but not for their single chain counterparts. Preincubation of the plasminogen activators with plasma for 3 h at 37° C, resulted in complete inhibition of the fibrinolytic potency of the two chain molecules but did not alter the potency of the single chain molecules. Inhibition of the two chain molecules occurred with a t½ of approximately 45 min. The two chain variants were inhibited by the synthetic urokinase inhibitor Glu-Gly-Arg-CH2CCl with apparent second-order rate constants of 8,000-10,000 M−1s−1, by purified α2-antiplasmin with second-order rate constants of about 300 M−1s−1, and by plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) with second-order rate constants of approximately 2 × 107 M−1s−1.It is concluded that the reactivity of single chain and two chain forms of t-PA/u-PA chimaers with inhibitors is very similar to that of the single and two chain forms of intact u-PA.

The kinetics of the electrophilic additions of four diarylcarbenium ions (4a-4d) to tricarbonyl(η4-cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene)iron (1) have been studied photometrically. The second-order rate constants match the linear Gibbs energy relationship log k20 °C = s(E + N) and yield the nucleophilicity parameter N(1) = 3.69. It is concluded that electrophiles with E ≥ -9 will react with complex 1 at ambient temperature.

Cyclooctatetraene (COT) as a quencher of fluorescence of a series of Rhodamine solutions was studied. The second order rate constants for the quenching process of Rhodamine 110, Rhodamine 19 pchl., Rhodamine 6G pchl., Rhodamine 6G, Tetramethylrhodamine, Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 3B pchl. are given. It was found that COT enhances rather intersystem crossing than internal conversion.

Second order rate constants kE M−1 s−1 for the β-elimination reaction from N-[2-( p-nitrophenyl)ethyl]quinuclidinium and 2-( p-nitrophenyl)ethyl bromide induced by amines of different structure in dimethylsulfoxide at 50 °C have been measured. Application of the Brønsted equation shows a similar behaviour of the two substrates, with values of β = 0.649 and 0.584 respectively.
