The overall exchange reactions[Formula: see text]have been initiated by radiolysis and measured by a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic method. The reactions occur by a chain mechanism, with a chain length of ~ 104 in a 1 M solution of hydrogen chloride in cyclohexane. The mechanism is complex.The exchange reaction can also be initiated by the photolysis of chlorine or of hydrogen chloride.A chain exchange reaction does not occur between c-C6H12 and DI, D2S, or ND3. These results are consistent with the suggestion that the exchange reaction in the cyclohexane – hydrogen chloride system occurs by a free radical chain mechanism.This type of exchange reaction can cause difficulties in isotopic tracer studies.

1H n.m.r. was used to observe tryptophan formation from indole and L-serine, proton exchange at C-2 of L-tryptophan, and proton exchange at C-2 of L-serine, catalysed by yeast tryptophan synthase in the presence of 2H2O. Tryptophan synthesis took place with compulsory replacement of C-2 hydrogen by solvent hydrogen. The exponential decay rate (kobs) of the serine exchange reaction was insensitive to serine concentration in the range 2-20mM and was used to calculate kcat./Km values. However, kobs. was very sensitive to pH* values in the range 6.5-8.5 and the data require that the free enzyme is active in the base form resulting from two inseparable ionizations of pKa 7.3, and inactive after a third ionization controlled by a pKa of 7.5. Initial rates measured by u.v. absorbance and colorimetric procedures were used to calculate kinetic parameters of the tryptophan synthesis reaction. From pH 6.5 to 7, kcat./Km values for L-serine in the tryptophan synthesis and hydrogen exchange reactions were indistinguishable and increased rapidly under the control of two acid-base groups of pKa 6.7 and 7.2. Above pH 7, this equivalence breaks down because the exchange reaction alone is responsive to the third pKa value of the free enzyme. The pH dependence of the catalytic constant for tryptophan synthesis was qualitatively similar to that of the kobs. for serine exchange. A mechanism to explain the results is contrasted with recent proposals for the Escherichia coli system.


This investigation into the exchange reaction of deuterium and hydrogen bromide was carried out in order to substantiate some results obtained in Part I on the reactions of deuterium and hydrogen chloride. It was desired to find out how the change to the analogous system affects the bimolecular reaction observed in the hydrogen chloride case and also to obtain some more information concerning reactions of the type D + HA→DA + H, which from the theoretical considerations given in Part I have unusual characteristics.


Under the influence of tritium β-radiation, 1, 4-dioxan undergoes hydrogen exchange with the solvent water. The inhibition of the reaction by known electron scavengers (Ag + , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Zn 2+ , H + 3 O and also by species with high reactivity towards hydroxyl radicals but negligible reactivity towards solvated electrons (N - 3 , Br - , SCN - ) has been examined in detail. γ-Irradiation similarly induces hydrogen exchange. The action of scavengers is interpreted as requiring the involvement of two separately scavengeable primary radiolysis products in the sequence of reactions leading to exchange. Evidence is presented that the reactions of these species occur in spur regions, and the scheme RH + OH˙→ R˙ + H 2 O e - aq → R - HTO → RT is considered to explain the main features of the mechanism. The presence of electron scavengers, even at high concentration, does not totally inhibit the exchange, and a secondary exchange route, involving a lower valency state of inhibitor cations, is considered responsible for the ‘unscavengeable’ portion of the reaction, by providing an alternative exchange route, e. g. R˙ + Ni + → R - + Ni 2+ HTO → RT Analogies are drawn between the exchange reaction and other radiation-induced reactions that are thought to involve spur processes (such as the formation of H 2 O 2 as a molecular product in the radiolysis of water). Some implications of the present results for the interpretation of radiation-chemical studies in water-alcohol mixtures are indicated.

Under γ-irradiation, aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol containing hydrogen peroxide form acetaldehyde as a major product via a free-radical chain rearrangement. The yield of acetaldehyde is essentially unchanged when hydrogen peroxide is replaced by N2O or HClO4. A mechanism is proposed in which the glycol radical, ĊOHCH2OH, rearranges to the acetaldehyde precursor, ĊH2CHO, followed by the hydrogen atom transfer reaction;[Formula: see text]thus propagating a chain reaction.2The rearrangement is also induced by the photo-dissociation of H2O2 in aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol.

Abstract The investigation of several 13carbon and deuterium labelled n-butyl and n-pentyl benzenes demonstrate that chemical ionization (reagent gas: methane) induces specific carbon-carbon bond cleavages of the alkyl group. The extent of competing reaction channels as for instance direct alkene elimination versus dealkylation/reprotonation is analyzed. Partial hydrogen exchange processes between reagent ions and substrate molecules are restricted to the phenyl ring. Intramolecular exchange reactions between the side chain and the aromatic ring which are typical for the open shell molecular ions of alkyl benzenes are not observed for analogous closed shell cations.

A wide range of polyfunctionalized di(hetero)aryl- and dialkenyl-magnesium reagents were prepared in toluene within 10 to 120 min between −78 °C and 25 °C via an I/Mg- or Br/Mg-exchange reaction using reagents of the general formula R2Mg (R = sBu, Mes). Highly sensitive functional groups, such as a triazene or a nitro group, were tolerated in these exchange reactions, enabling the synthesis of various functionalized (hetero)arenes and alkenes derivatives after quenching with several electrophiles including allyl bromides, acyl chlorides, aldehydes, ketones, and aryl iodides.
