Eleven model 1-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]-3-(2-substituted phenyl)triazenes were synthesized and their cyclization kinetics examined in aqueous-methanolic buffer solutions (51 wt.% methanol) at various pH values. 3(2-Substituted phenyl)benzo[d][1,2,3]triazin-4(3H)-ones were identified as the cyclization products. The log kobs vs pH plot was linear with a slope of unity. Investigation of the steric and electronic effects of substituents in the ortho position revealed that substituents at the ring which is bonded to the N(3) nitrogen affect the cyclization rate through their steric effect only, while their electronic effects are statistically insignificant. This fact was explained in terms of the ring being tilted from the plane in which the remaining part of the conjugate base anion of the model substrate lies. The assumed and confirmed BAc2 mechanism involving specific base catalysis begins by deprotonation of the triazene giving rise to the conjugate base, continues with formation of a tetrahedral intermediate, and ends with elimination of the methanolate ion. Other mechanisms, such as the elimination-addition mechanism via a ketene intermediate or the mechanism involving general base catalysis, are unlikely.

The kinetics have been measured of the reactions of 4-nitro-, 4-chloro-, and 4-methoxybenzenediazonium ions with substituted phenylazo derivatives of citrazinic acid in buffer solutions, and the pKa values of the corresponding monoazo and bisazo compounds have been estimated. The reactions of 4-nitrobenzenediazonium ion with 4-chloro- and 4-methoxyphenylazo derivatives and of 4-chlorobenzenediazonium ion with 4-methoxyphenylazo derivative were accompanied by a partial replacement of the substituted phenylazo group by the 4-nitro- and 4-chlorophenylazo groups, respectively. The reactions of 4-chloro- and 4-methoxybenzenediazonium ions are subject to general base catalysis, the rate-limiting step consisting in the splitting off of the proton from the tetrahedral intermediate; with 4-nitrobenzenediazonium ion the reaction rate is limited by the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate.

Base catalyzed cyclization rates have been measured of 22 derivatives of hydantoic and thiohydantoic acid esters in water and methanol. The cyclization of methyl and ethyl esters of hydantoic and 5-methylhydantoic acids is accompanied by hydrolysis of the ester group, whereas with the other derivatives the hydrolysis does not take place. Hydrolysis of the cyclization products (hydantoin and thiohydantoin derivatives) is not significant under the kinetic conditions. The cyclization of methyl ester of 5-phenylhydantoic acid in methanol is reversible; the equilibrium mixture contains 30% of the starting ester. In all the cases the cyclization is subject to specific base catalysis; exceptions are esters of 5-phenylthiohydantoic and 5-phenyl-2-methylthiohydantoic acids whose cyclizations are subject to general base catalysis. Substituents always accelerate the cyclization. The 3-substituents have the greatest effects, the cyclization rate being considerably increased with bulk of the substituents; similarly large effect of 5-phenyl group consists mainly in its polar effects on the pre-equilibrium. The cyclization are slower in methanol at the same concentration of the lyate ion: the greatest difference (up to 3 orders of magnitude) is observed with the 5-phenyl derivatives.

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 interfacial behaviour and adsorption equilibria of mono-, di-, and triphosphate of inosine (IMP, IDP, and ITP) were carried out in different buffer solutions by phase-sensitive ac voltammetry at HMDE. The characteristic properties and adsorption parameters of dilute and compact layers were evaluated from the obtained Frumkin isotherm at different pH values. The effect of some divalent metal ions on the adsorption stage and association of the investigated compounds has been studied.

The cyclization kinetics of N-(2-methylcarbonylphenyl)-N’-methylsulfonamide (IIb) into 3-methyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (Ib) has been studied in ethanolamine, morpholine, and butylamine buffers and in potassium hydroxide solution. The cyclization is subject to general base and general acid catalysis. The value of the Bronsted coefficient β is about 0.1, which indicates that splitting off of the proton from negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate represents the rate-limiting and thermodynamically favourable step. In the solutions of potassium hydroxide the cyclization of dianion of the starting ester IIb probably becomes the rate-limiting step.

Pyridinium Ions

The kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1-(phenoxycarbonyl)pyridinium ions, prepared with the essentially non-nucleophilic/non-basic fluoroborate as the counterion, have been studied using up to 1.60 M methanol in acetonitrile as solvent and under solvolytic conditions in 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) and its mixtures with water. Under the non- solvolytic conditions, the parent and three pyridine-ring-substituted derivatives were studied. Both second-order (first-order in methanol) and third-order (second-order in methanol) kinetic contributions were observed. In the solvolysis studies, since solvent ionizing power values were almost constant over the range of aqueous TFE studied, a Grunwald–Winstein equation treatment of the specific rates of solvolysis for the parent and the 4-methoxy derivative could be carried out in terms of variations in solvent nucleophilicity, and an appreciable sensitivity to changes in solvent nucleophilicity was found.

Here, we present an evaluation of two new monosubstituted ferrocene (Fc) derivatives, 3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)propanamidoferrocene and 1-hydroxy-2-[2-(thiophen-3-yl)-ethylamino]ethylferrocene, as glutamate oxidase mediators, together with their preparation and characterisation. Taking into consideration the influence of the electronic effects of substituents on the redox potentials of the Fc species, two candidates with pyrrole or thiophene moieties were proposed for investigation. Film studies involved potential sweeping in the presence of pyrrole or 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomers resulting in stable electroactive films with % signal loss upon cycling ranging from 1 to 7.82% and surface coverage (Γ) 0.47–1.15 × 10−9 mol/cm2 for films formed under optimal conditions. Construction of a glutamate oxidase modified electrode resulted in second-generation biosensing with the aid of both cyclic voltammetry and hydrodynamic amperometry, resulting in glutamate sensitivity of 0.86–1.28 μA/mM and Km (app) values over the range 3.67–5.01 mM.

As a typical endoribonuclease, YoeB mediates cellular adaptation in diverse bacteria by degrading mRNAs on its activation. Although the catalytic core of YoeB is thought to be identical to well-studied nucleases, this enzyme specifically targets mRNA substrates that are associated with ribosomes in vivo. However, the molecular mechanism of mRNA recognition and cleavage by YoeB, and the requirement of ribosome for its optimal activity, largely remain elusive. Here, we report the structure of YoeB bound to 70S ribosome in pre-cleavage state, revealing that both the 30S and 50S subunits participate in YoeB binding. The mRNA is recognized by the catalytic core of YoeB, of which the general base/acid (Glu46/His83) are within hydrogen-bonding distance to their reaction atoms, demonstrating an active conformation of YoeB on ribosome. Also, the mRNA orientation involves the universally conserved A1493 and G530 of 16S rRNA. In addition, mass spectrometry data indicated that YoeB cleaves mRNA following the second position at the A-site codon, resulting in a final product with a 3'–phosphate at the newly formed 3' end. Our results demonstrate a classical acid-base catalysis for YoeB-mediated RNA hydrolysis and provide insight into how the ribosome is essential for its specific activity.

The hydrolysis of 2-acetyloxybenzoic acid in the pH range 6-12 has been studied in the presence of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab) and cetylpyridinium chloride (cpc). In the plateau region (pH 6-8) the hydrolysis is inhibited by the presence of micelles, while in the region where the normal BAC2 hydrolysis (pH > 9) occurs the reaction is catalysed by micelles of ctab and cpc. The mechanism of hydrolysis in the plateau region is shown to involve general base catalysis by the adjacent ionized carboxy group both in the presence and absence of micelles. This reaction is inhibited in the presence of micelles because the substrate molecules are solubilized into the micelle and water is less available in this environment than in normal aqueous solution.
