The transition-state activity coefficient [Formula: see text] approach has been applied to the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of benzamide and its N-alkyl derivatives. For all systems (with the exception of the N-tert-butyl derivative which reacts via carbon–nitrogen bond cleavage) a uniform type of medium dependence of [Formula: see text] is observed. The reaction shows a pronounced destabilization of S≠ over the whole region of acidity studied, practically identical to that found for the AAc-2 type of ester hydrolysis. This is interpreted in terms of an AoT2 mechanism of amide hydrolysis, that is the rate-determining formation of the oxonium-type tetrahedral intermediate from the O-protonated form of substrate conjugate acid.

The effect of pressures up to 3 kbar on the rate of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetamide and benzamide in both dilute and concentrated perchloric acid has been measured. The volumes of activation in dilute acid are consistent with a transition state that is not highly polar. It follows from this that if the attacking water molecule adds to the amidium ion then the reactive amidium ion is the O-protonated form, and if the attacking water molecule substitutes then the reactive amidium ion is the N-protonated form.The volume of activation for acetamide in concentrated acid provides no additional information about the mechanism. That for benzamide in concentrated acid is tentatively interpreted as favoring the O-protonated benzamidium ion as the reactive ion.

The kinetics of acid hydrolysis of a number of aliphatic acetals have been studied in dimethyl sulphoxide-water and dioxan-water mixtures. Where possible, experimentally measured medium activity coefficients for the acetals in the solvent systems have been used in order to calculate the transition state activity coefficients as a function of solvent composition. These activity coefficients are compared with those calculated for the transition states of other hydrolytic reactions, and with the known activity coefficients of some stable ions. The results show no features inconsistent with the assumptions of transition state theory.

First-order rate coefficients and energies and entropies of activation have been determined for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a number of methyl D-glycopyranosides and disaccharides. The relation between the logarithm of the rate coefficients and values for Hammett's acidity function was linear, although different for different acids. All compounds had entropies of activation indicating a unimolecular reaction mechanism. Glucosides of tertiary alcohols were hydrolyzed very rapidly, triethylmethyl β-D-glucopyranoside, for example, 30,000 times taster than the corresponding methyl compound.Increase in size of the aglycone caused a slight increase in the rate of hydrolysis of β-D-glucopyranosides, steric hindrance thus being of no significance. Electron-attracting substituents in the aglycone had little or no influence on the rate of hydrolysis, obviously because they would tend to lower the equilibrium concentration of the conjugate acid, while facilitating the subsequent heterolysis, the two opposing effects more or less cancelling out. These results were discussed in connection with recent studies on the acid hydrolysis of various phenyl glycopyranosides and with reference to the postulated occurrence of an activating inductive effect in oligo- and poly-saccharides containing carboxyl or other electronegative groups at C-5. It was concluded that there is little evidence for the existence of any such effect and that, for example, pseudoaldobiouronic acids should be hydrolyzed at the same rate as corresponding neutral disaccharides.

The transition state for the hydronium-ion-promoted hydrolysis of α-d-glucopyranosyl fluoride in water has been characterized by combining multiple kinetic isotope effect measurements with theoretical modelling. The measured kinetic isotope effects for the C1-deuterium, C2-deuterium, C5-deuterium, anomeric carbon-13, and ring oxygen-18 are 1.219 ± 0.021, 1.099 ± 0.024, 0.976 ± 0.014, 1.014 ± 0.005, and 0.991 ± 0.013, respectively. The transition state for the hydronium ion reaction is late with respect to both C–F bond cleavage and proton transfer.
