The rates of exchange of methylene protons in seven glycocyamidinium ions in formate and chloroacetate buffers were measured in D2O by means of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. When protonation and methylation of glycocyamidines occur at the same site the methyated products react faster than the protonated products by factors of 1.8–1.9. Replacing ring protons in glycocyamidinium ions by methyl groups causes small increases in the méthylène exchange rate whereas corresponding substitution at the exocyclic nitrogen causes small rate decreases. It is concluded that in this reaction a quaternary ion ZR+ can serve as a satisfactory model for the analogous conjugate acid ZH+.

The rate of deuterium exchange of 4 and 6 methyl protons in 4,5,6-trimethyl-2-pyrimidone has been followed in D2O over a range of acidity from pD 0.4 to 7.7 by means of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The maximum of exchange rate represents equimolar proportions of the pyrimidone and its conjugate acid. The maximum is due to the neutral molecule acting as a base and removing a proton from one of the methyl groups of its conjugate acid. The exchange study of methyl protons in 1,4,5,6-tetramethyl-2-pyrimidone corroborates this mechanism.

Interchange of methyl groups between the bridging and terminal positions of trimethylaluminium dimer and exchange of methyl groups between trimethyl- aluminium and trimethylgallium in cyclopentane have been re-examined, again by means of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Dissociation of the dimer is confirmed as the rate- determining step in both cases, but the rate of dissociation is much greater in toluene than in cyclopentane. The evidence previously put forward for a cage effect limiting the rate of exchange with trimethylgallium in cyclopentane is refuted and a revised mechanism for exchange is suggested.

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy allows the cis and trans isomers of [CoX2 en2] complexes to be distinguished. Some information has been obtained concerning the rate of chelate conformational interchange for cobalt-ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, N-methylethylenediamine, and malonate rings. For [Co(amino acid)en2]2+ complexes the diastereoisomeric pairs can be differentiated and the relative rates of CH and NH proton exchange have been observed for a variety of chelate rings including cobalt-amino acid, acetylacetonato, ethylenediamine, and malonato.

One mole of an aldehyde or ketone reacts stoicheiometrically with one mole of trimethylaluminium dimer at ambient temperature in hydrocarbon solvents to form a "hemi-alkoxide" in which an alkoxy group and a methyl group bridge two aluminium atoms. Benzaldehyde, acetone, acetophenone, benzophenone, and cyclohexanone give p-alkoxy-p-methyl-tetramethyldialuminiums (Me2A1.OR.Me.AlMe2; R = CHPhMe, But, CphMea2 CPh2Me, and 1-methylcyclohexyl, respectively). Such compounds can also be prepared in low yields starting from alcohols, rather than aldehydes or ketones. The analogous compound, NezAl.N=CPhMe.Me.AlMez, is formed by reaction of benzonitrile with one mole of trimethylaluminium dimer in the absence of solvent at 100�. Exchange of methyl groups between bridge and terminal sites in these new compounds has been studied by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The rate of exchange of methylene protons in creatinine has been followed in D2O by means of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy over a range of acidity from pD 12.22 to DA –4.24. A plot of the logarithm of the rate against acidity function is in the form of a "W", one wing of which involves reaction of neutral creatinine with hydroxide ion, and the other diprotonated creatinine with water. The central peak represents reaction of protonated creatinine with a molecule of creatinine acting as base. The reaction is subject to catalysis by buffers.The activation of exchange produced by protonating the substrate is designated protonactivatingfactor, p.a.f., and factors affecting its size are discussed in terms of structure.
