The pKa values of two series of iminophosphoranes, N-(substituted phenyl)-iminotriphenylphosphoranes (VI) and N-phenyliminotri-(substituted phenyl)-phosphoranes (VII), have been correlated with σ0 and σ, respectively, giving ρ values of +3.5 and +9.3. A kinetic study of the reaction of VI and VII with benzaldehydes indicates that a betaine intermediate (V) is involved. The rate-limiting step of the reaction changes, the result of a delicate balance between the nucleophilicity of the nitrogen atom and the electrophilicity of the phosphorus atom. The involvement of dπ–pπ bonding is indicated.

The methanolysis rate constants and dissociation constants have been measured of benzoyl derivatives of substituted phenylureas and phenylthioureas. The dissociation constants of the thio derivatives are higher by 1 order of magnitude and the rate constants are higher by 2 orders of magnitude than the respective values of the oxygen analogues. Logarithms of the rate and dissociation constants have been correlated with the Hammet σ constant; the ρ constant of the methanolysis of the oxygen derivatives is almost 2x higher than that of the thio derivatives, which is explained by a change in the rate-limiting step. Methylation of the phenyl nitrogen atom increases the acidity by almost 2 orders of magnitude. This effect is due obviously to steric hindrance to the conjugation with the adjacent carbonyl or thiocarbonyl group.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.

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 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.
