The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane in ethanol at 30° and the acid-catalyzed esterification with methanol at 60° of a number of arylaliphatic carboxylic acids and their pKa values in 80% 2-methoxyethanol–water have been measured. Rate coefficients have also been measured for the alkaline hydrolysis in 70% dioxan–water of their 2-diethylaminoethyl esters at 45°. The pKa values and diazodiphenylmethane esterification rate coefficients were also measured for a series of 2-substituted fluorene-9-carboxylic acids. The latter results have been correlated by Hammett equations and the transmission of polar effects in fluorene is discussed. Polar and steric substituent constants are evaluated for the arylaliphatic systems. These values are used to successfully correlate the hydrolysis and ionization reactions using the Taft–Ingold equation.

The rate coefficients for the acid-catalyzed esterification in methanol at 35.0° of fourteen 3-substituted acrylic acids have been determined. Rate coefficients have also been determined for the alkaline hydrolysis in 70% v/v dioxin–water at 18.8° of 13 methyl esters and the carbonyl-stretching frequencies of the esters have been examined. The effect of trans-substitution is assessed by use of the Hammett equation. In the alkaline hydrolysis, the transmission of polar effects is approximately 1.9 that of the meta- and para-substituted benzoates. An analysis of the steric effects in the cis-isomers in both reactions shows that the steric effects of the halogeno-substituents in the two reactions differ and an explanation is offered. The application of the Taft–Ingold equation to ortho-substituted benzoates is criticized. The carbonyl-stretching frequencies of the cis-halogeno-esters exhibit a shift of +8 cm−1 compared with the trans-isomers; this shift is attributed to an electrostatic effect.

The sulfuric acid catalyzed acylation of 2-methyl-5-nitroisocarbostyril with carboxylic acid anhydrides gave the corresponding 4-acylated derivatives 3, which underwent reductive cyclization to 2-substituted derivatives of 4-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[4.3.2.de]isoquinolin-5-one (4). Alkaline hydrolysis of the six-membered lactam in 4 was accompanied by a retro-Mannich reaction to produce 2-substituted indole-4-carboxylic acids in about 40 % overall yield from 3.

Alkaline hydrolysis rates coefficients for the series of methyl 3-(7-substituted-1-naphthyl) propynoate was calculated in 70%v/v dimethylsulphoxide-water at various temperatures (25,30,40, and 50̊ C). The pKa values of 3-(7-substituted-1-naphthyl) propynoic acid and (E)- 3-(7-substituted-1-naphthyl) propenoic acid calculated in 80%w/w 2-methoxyethanol-water at room temperature (25.0̊ C). logk2 of esterification rate coefficients for 3-(7-substituted-1-naphthyl) propynioc acid and (E)-3(7-substituted-1-naphthyl) propenioc acid with DDM have been measured at 30.0̊ C. Reversed substituent dipolar effects were found in the ionization reaction. In the esterification reaction with DDM the result show similar but reduced substituted effects. Rate retardations was found in the alkaline hydrolysis. It could be result from steric effect or reversal of substituent dipolar effect with a combination of steric effect.

The second-order rate constants k2 (dm3 mol-1 s-1) for the alkaline hydrolysis of substituted alkyl benzoates C6H5CO2R have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 M Bu4NBr at 50 and 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH, CH2C6H5, CH2CH2Cl, CH2CH2OCH3, CH2CH3) and in aqueous 5.3 M NaClO4 at 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH). The dependence of the alkyl substituent effects on different solvent parameters was studied using the following equations:      ∆ log k = c0 + c1σI + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆EσI + c7∆YσI + c8∆PσI     ∆ log k = c0 + c1σ* + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆Eσ* + c7∆Yσ* + c8∆Pσ* .  ∆ log k = log kR - log kCH3. σI and σ* are the Taft inductive and polar substituent constants. E, Y and P are the solvent electrophilicity, polarity and polarizability parameters, respectively. In the data treatment ∆E = ES - EH2O , ∆Y = YS - YH2O , ∆P = PS - PH2O were used. The solvent electrophilicity, E, was found to be the main factor responsible for changes in alkyl substituent effects with medium. When σI constants were used, variation of the polar term of alkyl substituents with the solvent electrophilicity E was found to be similar to that observed earlier for meta and para substituents, but twice less when σ* constants were used. The steric term for alkyl substituents was approximately independent of the solvent parameters.

The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane, in ethanol at 30.0°, of a number of substituted indole-2-carboxylic acids, indole-3-carboxylic acids, coumarin-3-carboxylic acids, coumarilic acids, and N-phenylglycines have been determined. The effect of substitution is assessed by use of adapted Hammett and Dewar–Grisdale relations. The relations give good correlations for oxygen-ring heterocyclic systems, and the relative ability of the systems to transmit π-electron effects has been determined. An anomalous perturbing effect appears to operate in the indole-carboxylic acid systems.

The benzene solvent shifts of the proton magnetic resonance spectra of numerous polysubstituted benzene derivatives are measured with respect to cyclohexane as reference solvent. For many of these compounds, an additive scheme can be devised in which the effect of a substituent, X, on the solvent shift, Δ, of a proton is given by Δix so that Δ = Σx, Σi Δix where i = ortho, meta, or para. There is a linear correlation of Δmx or Δpx with Taft's substituent constants σm0 and σp0. It is suggested that charge effects are much more important than steric effects in determining both the magnitude and sign of Δ.
