The base hydrolysis of trans-[Rh(cyclam)XY]+ (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; X− and Y− = Cl−, Br−, and I−) are studied in aqueous solution over a range of OH− concentration and at various temperatures. The kinetics are done at a constant ionic strength with excess of [OH−] (smallest ratio = 200:1) so that pseudo first order rate constants are obtained for all the determinations. All of the reactions proceed with complete retention of configuration, and no trans-to-cis isomerization is found. The kinetic trans effect of these complexes is I− > Br− > Cl− on a rate basis, but based on ΔH≠, I− > Br− = Cl−. These Rh(III) complexes exhibit kinetic class (b) character on the ΔH≠ basis. The results of the rate constants and the activation parameters are interpreted in ternis of an SN1CB mechanism. The behavior of these complexes is compared to that of the other analogous complexes.

The kinetics of base hydrolysis of the complexes trans-[Rh(en)2(OH)X]+ (X = Br or Cl) follow the pseudo first order rate equation kobs = k1 + k2[OH−]. The small contribution of the [OH−]-dependent term is due to lower values of ΔS2≠ − ΔS1≠ than are observed for the complexes cis-[Rh(en)2(OH)Cl]+ and [Rh(NH3)5X]2+ (X = Cl, Br, or I ). The values of ΔH1≠ are used to obtain new values of the intrinsickinetictrans-effect (i.k.t.e.) of hydroxide that agree with that determined from aquation of trans.-[Rh(en)2(OH)I]+ and place hydroxide in the i.k.t.e. series [Formula: see text] The new data also allow hydroxide to be placed in a thermodynamic trans-effect (t.t.e.) series I > OH > NH3 > Br > Cl > OH2, and the different position of hydroxide in the two series is discussed.

The rapid decomposition of the fluorinated monothio-β-diketones RC(SH)=CHCOCF3, 4-(3?-bromophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-mercaptobut-3-en-2- one (R = m-BrC6H4), 4-(4?-bromophenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-mercaptobut-3- en-2-one (R = p-BrC6H4) and 1,1,1-trifluoro-4-mercaptopent-3-en-2-one(R = Me), in acid solution has been shown to occur by hydrolytic cleavage to yield the ketone RCOCH3, hydrogen sulphide and probably trifluoroacetic acid. The pseudo first-order rate constants for these compounds are (8.0�0.3)x 10-3, min-1, (6.0 � 0.6) x 10-3 min-1 and 0.12�0.01 min-1, respectively. The greater vulnerability of 1,1,1- trifluoro-4-mercaptopent-3-en-2-one, compared to the other two monothio-β-diketones, towards hydrolytic cleavage is related to the nature of the R substituent in that conjugation involving the terminal aromatic ring stabilizes the monothio-β-diketone.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

The disappearance of trans-[Co(LH)2(NH3)X] (LH = dimethylglyoximate ion, X = chloride or bromide) has been studied in aqueous solutions over a range of alkali concentrations at various temperatures. The kinetics were done with excess of hydroxide ion at a constant ionic strength so that pseudo first-order rate constants were obtained in all the runs. The results were interpreted in terms of the rapid formation of a pre- equilibrium species which then reacts in a rate-determining step to give products. The relatively large equilibrium constants support a conjugate-base pre-equilibrium, in which the proton is lost from oxygen, while the relatively low reactivities of the conjugate-bases are consistent with the absence of electropositive electromeric effects. The similarity in the reactivities of the chloro and the bromo conjugate-bases suggests the possibility of an SN2CB mechanism.

The values of pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) for alkaline hydrolysis of1, obtained at 1.0 mM NaOH and withinCmEnT(total concentration ofCmEn) range of 3.0–5.0 mM forC12E23and 10–20 mM forC18E20, fail to obey pseudophase micellar (PM) model. The values of the fraction of near irreversibleCmEnmicellar trapped1molecules (FIT1) vary in the range ~0–0.75 forC12E23and ~0–0.83 forC18E20under such conditions. The values ofFIT1become 1.0 at ≥10 mMC12E23and 50 mMC18E20. Kinetic analysis of the observed data at ≥10 mMC12E23shows near irreversible micellar entrapment of1molecules under such conditions.

The kinetics of the reactions of a series of (Z)-4-arylidene-2-phenyl-5(4H)oxazolones 1 with n-butylamine and piperidine were studied spectrophotometrically in dioxane, ethanol, and cyclohexane under pseudo-first-order conditions and at different temperatures. The relation k1(obs) = k2[amine] + k3[amine]2 was found applicable for all reactions studied in either dioxane or ethanol. However, in cyclohexane the n-butylaminolysis of 1 followed only third-order kinetics k1(obs) = k3[n-BuNH2]2. The kinetics of the reaction of 1 with n-butylamine in the presence of catalytic amounts of triethylamine in dioxane followed the equation: k1(obs)k2 = [n-BuNH2] + k3[n-BuNH2]2[Formula: see text] [Et3N]. The rate constants k2 and k3 correlated well with the Hammett equation and the corresponding activation parameters were determined. The results were interpreted in terms of a mechanism involving solvent- and amine-catalyzed processes.

The two-step acidic hydrolysis of α-hydroxybenzylphosphonates and a few related derivatives was monitored in order to determine the kinetics and to map the reactivity of the differently substituted phosphonates in hydrolysis. Electron-withdrawing substituents increased the rate, while electron-releasing ones slowed down the reaction. Both hydrolysis steps were characterized by pseudo-first-order rate constants. The fission of the second P-O-C bond was found to be the rate-determining step.

Pseudo first-order rate constants are determined for the oxidation of a series of secondary alcohols and their monodeutero analogues by ammonium chromate in aqueous acidic solution at several temperatures; the relative rates and activation parameters are consistent with a cyclic, symmetrical transition state.

The aquation of Cr(NH3)5NO32+ in acidic solutions yields not only Cr(NH3)5OH23+ (33%) but also more highly aquated species including cis-Cr(NH3)4(OH2)23+ and Cr(NH3)3(OH2)33+. In 0.1 M HClO4, several successive reactions of comparable rates are involved, but at pH 6 only the two competing initial reactions producing Cr(NH3)5OH2+ and cis-Cr(NH3)4(OH)NO3+ are rate-controlling, so that the overall reaction rate is first-order in substrate with the apparent parameters kA = 2.4 × 10−3 s−1(25°), ΔHA* = 20.4 kcal mol−1, and ΔSA* = −2.1 cal deg−1 mol−1. In alkaline solutions, the pseudo-first-order rate of hydrolysis at a given [OH−] is governed by kobs = kA + kOH [OH−], with kOH = 1.1 × 10−2 M−1 s−1 (25°), ΔHOH* = 25.2 kcal mol−1, and ΔSOH* = 17.0 cal deg−1 mol−1. The path characterized by kOH leads exclusively to Cr(NH3)5OH2+. In both aquation and base hydrolysis, it is the Cr—ONO2 bond that is broken. The production of more highly aquated species in the aquation reactions is attributed to transient chelation of NO3− at the expense of a ligand cis to it. The evidence for this mechanism, and for its operation when oxyanions other than nitrate are coordinated to Cr(III), is reviewed.

The enzyme-[14C]carboxybiotin complex of chicken liver pyruvate carboxylase has been isolated and shown to be relatively stable, with a half-life at 0 degree C of 342 min. The kinetic properties of the decay of this complex, in both the presence and the absence of the substrate analogue, 2-oxobutyrate, have been examined. The data for the reaction with 2-oxobutyrate at 0 degree C fitted a biphasic exponential decay curve, enabling the calculation of rate constants for both the fast and slow phases of the reaction at this temperature. The effect of temperature on the observed pseudo-first-order rate constant for the slow phase of the reaction with 2-oxobutyrate, and that for the decay of the enzyme-[14C]carboxybiotin complex alone, have been examined. Arrhenius plots of these data revealed that the processes being studied in each type of experiment were single reactions represented by one rate constant in each case. For the decay of the enzyme-[14C]carboxybiotin complex in the absence of 2-oxobutyrate, the rate-determining process may be the movement of carboxybiotin from the site of the first partial reaction to the site of the second. The calculated thermodynamic activation parameters indicate that this reaction is accompanied by a large change in protein conformation. With 2-oxobutyrate present, the observed process in the slow phase of the reaction was probably the dissociation of the carboxybiotin from the first subsite. Here, the activation parameters suggest that a much smaller change in protein conformation accompanies this reaction. Both sets of experiments were also performed in the presence of acetyl-CoA, but this activator had little effect on the measured thermodynamic activation parameters. However, in both cases the observed pseudo-first-order rate constants in the presence of acetyl-CoA were about 75% of those in its absence. The effects of Mg2+ on the reaction kinetics of the enzyme-[14C]carboxybiotin complex with 2-oxobutyrate were similar to those observed with the sheep enzyme by Goodall, Baldwin, Wallace & Keech [(1981) Biochem. J. 199, 603-609].
