Optically active trans-2-phenyl-3-p-tolyloxirane and cis-2-phenyl-3-p-tolyloxirane were synthesized and the kinetics of their racemization and geometrical isomerization were studied.The slower rate of racemization of the cis-isomer compared with that of the trans is attributed to the conrotatory opening of the oxirane ring.

cis-[PtCl2(15NH3)(c-C6H11NH2)] is an active metabolite of the oral platinum(IV) anticancer drug cis,trans,cis-[PtCl2(CH3CO2)2(NH2)(c-C6H11NH2)]. Since it is likely that guanine bases on DNA are targets for this drug, we have analysed the kinetics of reaction of this platinum(II) metabolite with guanosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP) at 310 K, pH 7, using [1H, 15N] n.m.r. methods. Reactions of the trans isomer are reported for comparison. The reactions proceed via aquated intermediates, and, for the cis isomer, the rates of aquation and substitution of H2O by 5′-GMP are 2-5 times faster trans to the amine ligand (c-C6H11NH2) compared to trans to NH3 for both the first and second steps. For the trans complex, the first aquation step is c. 3 times faster than for the cis complex, as expected from the higher trans influence of Cl¯, whereas the rate of the second aquation step (trans to N7 of 5′-GMP) is comparable to that trans to NH3. These findings have implications for the courses of reactions with DNA.

The kinetics of the hydrogenation of (Z)-(a)-N-acetamidocinnamic acid catalysed by Rh complexes of the optically active layer-phosphines 2-7 was examined. The turnover was calculated from the consumption of hydrogen during the reaction. The catalytic activities of the layer-phosphines 2-7, which depend on the position of the borneoxy substituents on the phenyl rings, were compared with the catalytic activity of the parent ligand dppe 1

A mixture of cis- and trans-3,5-divinyl-1-pyrazoline was synthesized and isolated at 0° by the cycloaddition of vinyldiazomethane to butadiene. The kinetics of the thermolysis in diphenyl ether at 35–65° were studied by measuring the rate of nitrogen evolution. The cis isomer gave log (k1/s−1) = (12.28 ± 0.9 ) − (22.8 ± 0.4 )/θ where θ = 2.303RT in kcal mol−1, for the trans isomer log(k2/s−1) = (13.9 ± 0.9 ) − (25.7 ± 0.4 )/θ was obtained. These data when compared with those of 1-pyrazoline and 3-vinyl-1-pyrazoline lead to the conclusion that both carbon–nitrogen bonds are being broken in the rate determining step. Thus the alkyl-1-pyrazolines are concerted whereas the azoalkanes are not.
