Methanolysis of acetylimidazole (1) and N-acetylimidazolepentamine-Co(III) (2) was found to be markedly accelerated in the presence of La(OTf)3. Potentiometric titration of a solution of La3+(OTf-)3 gave a pKa for the metal bound CH3OH of 7.22. The kinetics of methanolysis of 1 and 2 were measured at 25°C at various pH under buffered conditions as a function of increasing La3+. Analysis of both the kinetic and potentiometric data indicates that the catalytically active species is a La3+-dimer, bridged by two methoxides, (CH3OH)nLa3+(CH3O-)2La3+(CH3OH)n. The maximum second-order rate constants for attack of the dimer on 1 and 2 are 1.50 × 103 M-1 s-1 and 1.42 × 102 M-1 s-1 respectively and both processes adhere to titration of a La3+(CH3OH) to generate the active form. The results are explained in terms of a mechanism where the methoxy-bridged La3+ dimer transiently breaks a La3+-OCH3 bond to expose both a CH3O- nucleophile and a La3+ which can act as a Lewis acid. Unlike the situation in water, the methanol results indicate that the medium greatly stabilizes and solubilizes the active dimer without the necessity of creating specially designed ligands to stabilize the dinuclear core.Key words: lanthanum ion, catalysis, methanolysis, activated amide.

The reaction between hexamethylenediisocyanate and 1-pentanol in toluene was studied by means of reversed-phase liquid chromatography. By employing this method, it was possible to determine all components of the reaction mixture including both products, i.e. N-(6-isocyanate hexyl)pentylcarbamate and N,N'-bis(pentyloxycarbonyl)hexamethylenediamine. Relations for the calculation of kinetic constants were derived assuming a competitive consecutive second-order reaction. It was demonstrated that the reaction involved in this case is indeed a second-order reaction, and the rate constants of the first and second consecutive reactions were determined.

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.

The ultraviolet spectroscopy method has been applied to study the kinetics of the ozone reactions with nitrogenous bases (NB), namely adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions. At the first research stage, the range of NB working concentrations has been determined. It was found that linear dependences between optical densities and concentrations of nitrogenous bases aqueous solutions are quite reliable, with correlation coefficients r ≥ 0.998, are satisfied up to [NB] = 2.3 ∙ 10–4 mol/l. According to the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer law, adenine and cytosine extinction coefficients in aqueous solutions were determined and subsequently used to calculate their residual concentrations. At the next stage, the kinetics of nitrogenous bases ozonized oxidation was studied with equal initial concentrations of the starting substances ([NB]0 = [О3]0). The results revealed that the kinetic consumption curves of the starting reagents are fairly well linearized (r ≥ 0.996) in the second-order reaction equation coordinates. As found with the bubbling installation, 1 mol of the absorbed ozone falls on 1 mol of the used NB. Thus, the reactions of ozone with adenine and cytosine explicitly proceed according to the second-order kinetic laws (the first – according to О3 and the first – according to NB). The rate constants were calculated by the integral reaction equations, the values of which indicate a higher ozone reactivity in relation to nitrogen bases. The temperature dependences of the second-order rate constants was studied ranging 285-309 K, and the activation parameters (pre-exponential factors and activation energies) of the ozone reactions with adenine and cytosine in aqueous solutions were determined.

In order to get basic data for the design of a novel treatment scheme for high explosives we investigated the kinetics for the aqueous alkaline hydrolysis of 1,3,5,7-tetraaza-1,3,5,7-tetranitrocyclooctane (HMX) and the temperature dependence of the rate constants. We used an HPLC procedure for the analysis of HMX. All experimental data could be fit accurately to a pseudo first-order rate equation and subsequent calculation of second-order rate constants was also precise. Temperature dependence could be modeled with the Arrhenius equation. An increase of 10°C led to an average increase in the second-order rate constants by the 3.16 fold. The activation energy of the second-order reaction was determined to be 111.9 ±0.76 kJ·moJ‒1. We found the alkaline hydrolysis to be rapid (less than 2.5% of the initial HMX-concentration left after 100 minutes) at base concentrations of 23 mmol oH‒/L and elevated temperatures between 60 and 80°C.

Implants are readily applied as a convenient method of therapy. There is great interest in the prolonged release of active substances from implants. The objective of this work was to evaluate the dissolution kinetics of steroidal anti-inflammatory preparation (SAP) released from novel implants, and to test the influence of the technology on SAP release kinetics. The proposed long-acting preparations may overcome difficulties resulting from repeated injections and often visits to ambulatory clinic, as the stabilizing function of the artificial ligament would be enriched with pharmacological activity. The potential advantages provided by the new coatings of knee implants include the continuous, sustained, and prolonged release of an active substance. The study was carried out using a modified United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) apparatus 4. The amount of SAP was measured spectroscopically. It was revealed that the transport of the drug was mainly a diffusion process. The drug release kinetics was analyzed using zero-, first-, and second-order kinetics as well as Korsmeyer-Peppas, Higuchi, and Hixon-Crowell models. The highest values of the release rate constants were k0 = (7.49 ± 0.05) × 10−5 mg × min−1, k1 = (6.93 ± 0.05) × 10−6 min−1, and k2 = (7.70 ± 0.05) × 10−7 mg−1 × min−1 as calculated according to zero-, first-, and second-order kinetics equations, respectively. The values of the rate constants obtained for the slowest process were k0 = (3.63 ± 0.06) × 10−5 mg × min−1, k1 = (2.50 ± 0.03) × 10−6 min−1, and k2 = (2.80 ± 0.03) × 10−7 mg−1 × min−1. They may suggest the possibility of sustained release of betamethasone from the system. Due to the statistical analysis, differences were observed between most of the studied implants. Incubation, temperature, time of stabilization of layers, and the method of SAP deposition on the matrix affected the drug release.

The kinetics of NaOD-catalysed H/D exchange of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexanone (1), 1-hydroxy-4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetrame-thylpiperidine (2), 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (3), 9-hydroxynorpseudopelletierine (4), and norpseudopelle-tierine-9-oxyl (5) have been studied in 60:40 dioxane–D2O(v/v) at 25.0 °C. The second-order rate constants are 9.20 × 10−3, 6.39 × 10−2, 1.59, 2.20 × 10−2, and 5.67 × 10−1 L mol−1 s−1 for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Gas-phase enthalpies of ionization (the values are 363.0, 359.4, 352.0, 360.7, and 354.1 kcal mol−1 for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively) calculated with AM1 correlate with the relative rates of enolization. Thus replacement of the β-hydroxylamino groups of 2 and 4 with a nitroxyl group produces sizable increases in the kinetic and thermodynamic acidities of the hydrogens α to the carbonyl group.

The pH-dependence of the second order rate constants of the reaction of papain with bromoacetamide in the pH-range 5,5-8,5 is described by a curve with a turning point corresponding to a pK 7,3 ± 0,1 at 25°. This is the pK of a catalytically essential imidazole residue. The activation parameters of the reaction of papain with bromoacetamide were determined. The second order rate constants at pH 7 for the reaction is 200 times greater than for the reaction of bromoacetamide with simple SH-compounds.

We have investigated the kinetics of inactivation of Mo-nitrogenase isolated from Klebsiella pneumoniae when it forms an inhibited putative transition-state complex on incubation with ADP and AlF4-. In the presence of excess Kp2 (Fe protein of the Mo-nitrogenase of K. pneumoniae), the kinetics were found to depend on the Mo content of Kp1 (the MoFe protein of Mo-nitrogenase of K. pneumoniae). The residual nitrogenase activity versus time of incubation using Kp1 preparations containing integral, i.e. one or two Mo atoms per molecule of Kp1, were essentially monophasic, but significantly different rates of inactivation were observed. In contrast, the progress curves for preparations of Kp1 with non-integral Mo content were biphasic, suggesting the presence of two discrete catalytically active species of Kp1. The best fit to the observed data was obtained with a two-exponential expression, the amplitude of which was consistent with the Mo content, provided that the fast phase of the reaction was assigned to a Kp1 species containing one, and the slow phase to a species containing two Mo atoms per α2β2 tetramer. This analysis provides the first evidence for the existence of a catalytically active Kp1 species containing a single Mo atom. These data also indicate that MoFe protein which does not have all FeMoco binding sites occupied has an altered conformation compared with a fully loaded protein, and that the Fe protein reacts with these conformations at different rates to form the stable, but inhibited transition-state complex.
