Special Case

The rates of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of a series of para substituted benzalanilines have been studied in 50/50 methanol–water in the presence of acetate buffers. Special and general acid catalysis were observed. The effect of para substituents on the rate is different for the charged and uncharged catalyst, and Hammett's relation cannot be applied. Similarly the effect of substituents on the Arrhenius constants for the two cases is different. The para dimethylamino derivative provides an interesting special case. For low buffer concentrations and in unbuffered solutions certain deviations were observed which show that the dependence of the rate on the catalyst concentration is more complicated than the equation[Formula: see text]

Direct Attack

The course of hydrolysis of an ester, 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid catalyzed with poly(1-methyl-3-allylimidazolium bromide) (IIa), poly[l-methyl-3-(2-propinyl)imidazolium chloride] (IIb) and poly[l-methyl-3-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)imidazolium bromide] (IIc) in a 28.5% aqueous ethanol was investigated as a function of pH and compared with low-molecular weight models, viz., l-methyl-3-alkylimidazolium bromides (the alkyl group being methyl, propyl, and hexyl, resp). Polymers IIb, IIc possessed a higher activity at pH above 9, while the models were more active at a lower pH with a maximum at pH 7.67. The catalytic activity at the higher pH is attributed to an attack by the OH- group, while at the lower pH it is assigned to a direct attack of water on the substrate. The rate of hydrolysis of 4-acetoxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid is proportional to the catalyst concentration [IIc] and proceeds as a first-order reaction. The hydrolysis depends on the composition of the solvent and was highest at 28.5% (vol.) of ethanol in water. The hydrolysis of a neutral ester, 4-nitrophenyl acetate, was not accelerated by IIc.

Methyl 4-O-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl) and methyl 4-O-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside and their 6-O-isomers were prepared as model substances for the ether lignin-saccharide bond by reductive cleavage of corresponding 4,6-O-benzylidene derivatives. Kinetic study of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the compounds prepared was carried out by spectrophotometric determination of the benzyl alcoholic groups set free, after their reaction with quinonemonochloroimide, and it showed the low stability of the p-hydroxybenzyl ether bond.

Hydrolysis Of

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl isonitrile has been examined. The initial hydrolysis product is N-methylformamide which is further hydrolyzed to methyl amine and formic acid at a much slower rate. The hydrolysis to N-methylformamide is pseudo-first order in methyl isonitrile and shows a linear rate dependence on concentration of general (buffer) acid at fixed pH. The significance of general acid-catalysis in terms of the mechanism of the hydrolysis is considered and taken as evidence for carbon protonation rather than nitrogen protonation as the initiating step.

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to examine the deuterium exchange of the methyl protons in two lumazine derivatives. The exchange occurs at the C-7 methyl group in 6,7,8-trimethyllumazine (2) and at the C-6 methyl group in 1,7-dihydro-6,7,8-trimethyllumazine (3). The former reaction is subject to both general acid- and general base-catalysis but the latter only to general acid-catalysis. Plausible mechanisms for the reactions of both compounds are advanced, involving in the case of 3, acid-catalyzed addition of water across the C6—N5 double bond.
