A detailed kinetic study of oxidation of toluene and its derivatives by cobaltic acetate in 95 vol% acetic acid is reported. The reaction was found to be profoundly affected by a steric factor and rather insensitive to the C—H bond energy. The order of reactivities of various alkylbenzenes is quite reversal to that of hydrogen abstraction reactions. The reaction was of first-order with respect to toluene, of second-order with respect to cobaltic ion and of inverse first-order with respect to cobaltous ion. The oxidation by cobaltic ion seems to proceed via an initial reversible electron transfer from toluene to cobaltic ion, yielding [Formula: see text] which is oxidized into benzyl acetate by another cobaltic ion. The apparent activation energy for toluene was found to be 25.3 kcal mole−1, and the same activation energy was found for ethylbenzene, cumene, diphenylmethane, and triphenylmethane.

The formation of AcAn from PHX, nitric acid, and acetic anhydride has been investigated at various temperatures. The effects of added acetic acid and added salts have been determined. While the reaction is first order with respect to PHX, it is of an order 2.6 with respect to nitric acid. The reaction rate is significantly decreased by small concentrations of sodium nitrate. The reaction is also characterized by a secondary salt effect and a low apparent activation energy of about 2 kcal. mole−1. A mechanism has been suggested in qualitative, and to some extent quantitative, agreement with the experimental data. It is postulated that the conversion of PHX involves a rate-controlling ionic reaction between PHX and nitric acid, and that this is followed by a rapid acetylation of the acidic intermediate to AcAn.

Abstract As a complement to earlier investigations, and in order to examine more closely the connection between the chemical kinetics and the changes with vulcanization time of the physical properties in the case of vulcanization reactions, we used thiuram vulcanizations as an example, and concerned ourselves with the dependence of stress values (moduli) at different degrees of elongation and different vulcanization temperatures. We found: 1. Stress values attain a limiting value, dependent on the degree of elongation, but independent of the vulcanization temperature at constant elongation. 2. The rise in stress values with the vulcanization time is characterized by an initial delay, which, however, is practically nonexistent at higher temperatures. 3. The kinetics of the increase in stress values with vulcanization time are both qualitatively and quantitatively in accord with the dependence of the reciprocal equilibrium swelling on the vulcanization time; both processes, after a retardation, go according to the first order law and at the same rate. 4. From the temperature dependence of the rate constants of reciprocal equilibrium swelling, as well as of the increase in stress, an activation energy of 22 kcal/mole can be calculated, in good agreement with the activation energy of dithiocarbamate formation in thiuram vulcanizations.

Isobutene reacts readily with excess trifluoroacetic acid in ethylene dichloride solution at ordinary temperatures to give t-butyl trifluoroacetate. The rate of the reaction is given, within the range of the experiments, by the expression d[ester]/dt = k[acid]2[olefin], and the apparent activation energy is about 6 kcal/mole. The rate of addition is markedly dependent on the strength of the reacting acid and is drastically reduced in the presence of mildly basic materials, such as dioxane. The boron fluoride catalyzed addition of acetic acid to 2-butene can be considered to follow a similar rate law, i.e. d[ester]/dt = k[acid·BF3]2[olefin], but only if some assumptions are made about the position of the equilibrium [Formula: see text]since only the 1:1 complex is reactive.

Abstract 1. The decrease of free sulfur occurs according to the first order law during the vulcanization of natural rubber accelerated by mercaptobenzothiazole in the presence of zinc oxide. The activating energy for this reaction amounts to 30.5 kcal./mole. 2. If zinc benzothiazolylmercaptide is used as an accelerator, one obtains the same rate constants for the sulfur decrease as in the presence of mercaptobenzothiazole. These seem to be equivalent as regards their effectiveness of acceleration. 3. A kinetic analysis of the reciprocal swelling, which represents a measure of network formation, indicates that the reaction is first order. Sulfur decrease and reciprocal swelling prove to be equal processes as regards rate. This is true where vulcanization is accelerated with mercaptobenzothiazole or with the zinc salt. 4. During vulcanization there occurs a decrease of accelerator concentration. This is dependent upon the temperature and is tied in with the combination sulfur with rubber. 5. If the quantity of the accelerator added is changed, the rate constants for sulfur decrease and for reciprocal swelling do not change, provided that a minimum quantity of accelerator is present. 6. In vulcanization accelerated with zinc benzothiazolylmercaptide, zinc oxide being absent, sulfur decrease again occurs according to the first order law but considerably faster, without thereby changing the activation energy. These investigations are being continued and the results will be discussed in detail in relation to other published contributions in this field.

The thermal decomposition of biallyl has been investigated from 977 – 1 070 °K at helium carrier gas pressures of 10–50 Torr. Under these conditions the rate of central C—C bond fission to give two allyl radicals can be measured without interference from secondary reactions. The reaction at the pressures employed is first order with respect to biallyl, but between first and second order in the total pressure. The temperature dependence of the rate constants, extrapolated to infinite pressure, and corrected to 298 °K, gives an activation energy of 45.7 kcal/mole for the reaction, corresponding to ΔHf(allyl) = 33.0 kcal/mole.

The acetate-catalyzed epimerization of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-hexanone has been studied in glacial acetic acid as solvent at five different temperatures. The reaction follows pseudo first-order, reversible kinetics and is associated with an activation energy of 24.0 ± 0.4 kcal/mol. Rate and product studies have shown that epimerization occurs by an enolization–ketonization pathway rather than dehydration–rehydration or retroaldol–aldolization. The ratio of diastereomeric ketols formed by condensation of 2-pentanone and 2-heptanone with chloral does not change as a function of time while the stereochemistry of the chloral addition to cyclohexanone is kinetically controlled during the initial reaction period.

The kinetic equation for the nitrous acid catalysed nitration of naphthalene in aqueous mixtures of sulphuric acid and acetic acid has at least two kinetic terms: one first order with respect to naphthalene and one second order with respect to naphthalene. The orders with respect to nitrous acid and nitric acid vary with the conditions in the way characteristic of the electron transfer mechanism of this reaction. The second-order term with respect to naphthalene is considered to derive from the formation of the dimeric radical cation (ArH)2+•. The acidity dependence of the rate coefficients and the absence of a normal isotope effect in the reaction of naphthalene-d8 are consistent with this interpretation.

Wide Range

In the homogeneous oxidation of mercaptans by potassium persulphate in concentrated acetic acid, the rate of disappearance of potassium persulphate during an experiment is first order with respect to the measured persulphate concentration. The rate constant is independent of the kind of mercaptan used, and is independent of mercaptan concentration over a wide range of mercaptan concentrations. The rate constant falls off, however, at low mercaptan concentrations, this falling-off being less pronounced if the rate is reduced by the addition of salts. The mercaptan concentration at which the rate constant, calculated from persulphate disappearance, becomes independent of mercaptan concentration increases as the temperature is increased. A salt effect prevails, the rate constant being decreased with increased potassium ion concentration. The equivalent conductance of solutions of potassium persulphate in the solvent used shows a behavior on dilution which indicates that potassium persulphate is incompletely ionized in the solvent. A mechanism is proposed for the reaction, in which it is assumed that dissociation of persulphate ions into sulphate free radicals is rate-controlling, with an activation energy of the order 26,000 cal. per mole.

The kinetics of the non-enzymatic hydrolysis of adenosine diphosphate in aqueous solution have been studied at pH 3.5 to 10.5 and temperatures from 80° to 95 °C. The reaction has been followed by measuring colorimetrically the inorganic phosphate liberated according to the over-all reaction[Formula: see text]The reaction has been found to be first order with respect to ADP concentration and to be catalyzed by hydrogen ions. From rate studies at pH 8.0 an activation energy of 24.2 kcal./mole was derived. A mechanism is proposed to account for the observed facts and the mechanism for the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate is also discussed.
