The thiol/disulfide exchange reactions of penicillamine (PSH) with cystine and several related disulfides (RSSR) have been studied by 1H nmr. The reactions take place in two steps:[Formula: see text]The equilibria and kinetics of the reactions of PSH with cystine were characterized over the pH range 5–8, while the reactions with the disulfides of cysteamine, homocysteine, 2-mercaptoethanol, mercaptoacetic acid, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, and mercaptosuccinic acid were studied at neutral pH. From the pH dependence of the rate of the reaction of PSH with cystine, the reactive species are identified as penicillamine with its amino group protonated and its thiol group deprotonated and cystine and penicillamine–cysteine mixed disulfide with their amino groups protonated. For all the disulfides studied, the extent to which the first reaction occurs is within a factor of 2–3 of that predicted by a random distribution, while the extent to which the second reaction occurs is considerably less than for a random distribution. This is attributed to steric effects due to the two methyl groups next to the sulfur of penicillamine.

The kinetics and equilibria of the oxidation of penicillamine by glutathione disulfide to form, in the first step, penicillamine–glutathione mixed disulfide and glutathione and, in the second step, penicillamine disulfide and glutathione have been studied over the pH range 4–9 by 1H nmr. The reactive species are found to be penicillamine with its amino group protonated and its thiol group deprotonated and glutathione disulfide and penicillamine–glutathione mixed disulfide with their two amino groups protonated. The rate and equilibrium constants for the first step are much larger than those for the second step, indicating a small tendency for penicillamine to form its symmetrical disulfide by thiol/disulfide exchange reactions. This and the smaller reducing power of penicillamine as compared to glutathione are attributed to steric hindrance from the methyl groups adjacent to the sulfur. The kinetics and equilibria of the oxidation of N-acetylpenicillamine by glutathione disulfide were studied at neutral pH. Conditional equilibrium and rate constants for the oxidation of penicillamine by glutathione disulfide at pH 7.4 are presented and discussed in terms of the metabolism of penicillamine.

Oxidation of Ni2+,aq, by S2O82- to nickel(IV) in the presence of molybdate ion, as in the analogous manganese system, involves the formation of the soluble heteropolymolybdate anion [MMogO32]2- (M = Ni, Mn ). The nickel(IV) product crystallized as (NH4)6 [NiMogO32].6H2O from the reaction mixture in the rhombohedra1 space group R3, a 15.922(1), c 12.406(1) � ; the structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods, and refined to a residual of 0.025 for 1741 independent 'observed' reflections. The kinetics of the oxidation were examined at 80 C over the pH range 3.0-5.2; a linear dependence on [S2O82-] and a non-linear dependence on l/[H+] were observed. The influence of variation of the Ni/Mo ratio between 1:10 and 1:25 on the observed rate constant was very small at pH 4.5, a result supporting the view that the precursor exists as the known [NiMo6O24H6]4- or a close analogue in solution. The pH dependence of the observed rate constant at a fixed oxidant concentration (0.025 mol dm-3) fits dequately to the expression kobs = kH [H+]/(Ka+[H+]) where kH = 0.0013 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and Ka = 4-0x10-5. The first-order dependence on peroxodisulfate subsequently yields a second-order rate constant of 0.042 dm3 mol-1 s-1. Under analogous conditions, oxidation of manganese(II) occurs eightfold more slowly than oxidation of nickel(II), whereas oxidation of manganese(II) by peroxomonosulfuric acid is 16-fold faster than oxidation by peroxodisulfate under similar conditions.

A catalytically essential histidine residue (His-195) of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) acts as a general base in catalysis, abstracting a proton from the primary hydroxy group of chloramphenicol. The pKa of His-195 has been determined from the pH-dependence of chemical modification. Both methyl 4-nitrobenzenesulphonate and iodoacetamide inactivate CAT by irreversible modification of His-195. The kinetics of inactivation by methyl 4-nitrobenzenesulphonate are pseudo-first-order, and the pH-dependence of inactivation yields a pKa value of 6.60. Iodoacetamide inactivation proceeds with second-order kinetics and a pKa value of 6.80. An alternative site of modification at the active site of CAT is the thiol group of Cys-31, a residue which has no catalytic role. On replacement of Cys-31 with alanine (Ala-31 CAT), the pH-dependence of iodoacetamide inactivation gives a pKa value of 6.66. The pKa values derived from chemical-modification experiments directed at His-195 are in agreement with the pKa values of 6.62 and 6.61 determined for wild-type and Ala-31 CAT respectively from the pH-dependence of kcat/Km.

Initial Process

Solutions of SbF5 in HSO3F with xSbF5 = 0.012 to 0.405 are studied by 500 MHz 1H NMR (299 K) and 471 MHz 19F NMR (213–250 K), using NMR tubes fitted with fluoropolymer lining. The initial process during dissolution is the fast solvolysis of monomeric SbF5 in HSO3F according to SbF5 + nHSO3F [Formula: see text] SbF5 – n(SO3F)n + nHF (n = 1, 2). All HF formed during solvolysis will no longer be removed by reaction with glass, but will remain in the superacid system. Besides participation in the fast formation of various fluoro-fluorosulfato anions [SbF6 – n(SO3F)n]– (n = 0, 1, 2) and acidium ions [H2X]+(solv.) (X= F, SO3F), HF is involved in slow-exchange reactions of the type [SbF6 – n(SO3F)n]–(solv.) + HF [Formula: see text] [SbF7 – n(SO3F)n– 1]–(solv.) + HSO3F (n = 1, 2) detected because of a delay of 3 months between sample preparation and measurements and confirmed by repeating theses measurements after a further 3 months. There are three notable differences to our earlier study, affecting concentrations of the fluoro-fluorosulfato antimonate anions observed: (i) in dilute solutions [SbF6]– is formed in high concentrations (34.7–76.1%), with [Sb2F11]– now clearly detected at intermediate to high SbF5 concentrations (up to 5.8%); (ii) bis-fluorosulfato anions (cis-, trans-[SbF4(SO3F)2]–) are found in much lower concentrations only, which decrease further with time, while tris-fluorosulfato anions ([SbF3(SO3F)3]–) are now no longer observed; (iii) these reduced concentrations of poly-fluorosulfato anions in dilute solutions are responsible for the formation of fewer µ-SO3F-oligomers at lower concentrations, when more SbF5 is added. As a consequence, the HSO3F–SbF5 magic acid system is now less complex than found previously and only seven anionic species are clearly observed. Key words: superacids, antimony(V) fluoroanions, 1H NMR, 19F NMR, solvolysis.

Exchange Kinetics

Deuteron exchange kinetics between the methyl and amino groups in methylamine, catalyzed by potassium methylamide (PMA), have been studied by 2H nmr.[Formula: see text]Typical values of kobs, the observed pseudo first-order exchange rate, are 1.0 × 10−5 s−1 at 0.21 M PMA and 323 K. Effects of added potassium methylamide and temperature are described. The rate is unaffected by the thermal decomposition product of PMA and there is little or no catalysis by an equilibrium mixture of the solvated electron species e−, (e−K+), and K−. The active catalyst in solution is shown to be monomeric PMA in equilibrium with relatively inactive dimers, …, n-mers. A mechanism that describes the exchange and relates it to the thermal decomposition of the amide is discussed.

The kinetics of the oxidation of iodide ion by horseradish peroxidase compound II have been studied as a function of pH at 25° and ionic strength of 0.11. The logarithm of the second-order rate constant decreases linearly from 2.3 × 105 to 0.1 M−1 s−1 with increasing pH over the pH range 2.7 to 9.0. The pH dependence of the reaction is explained in terms of an acid dissociation outside the pH range of the study.

<p>The preparation of chitosans soluble in physiological conditions has been sought for years, but so far solubility in non-acidic aqueous media has only been achieved at the expense of lowering chitosan molecular weight. In this work, we applied the multistep ultrasound-assisted deacetylation process (USAD process) to β-chitin and obtained extensively deacetylated chitosans with high molecular weights (Mw ≥ 1,000,000 g mol<sup>-1</sup>). The homogeneous <i>N</i>-acetylation of a chitosan sample resulting from three consecutive USAD procedures allowed us to produce chitosans with a high weight average degree of polymerization (DPw ≈ 6,000) and tunable degrees of acetylation (DA from 5 to 80%). <i>N</i>-acetylation was carried out under mild conditions to minimize depolymerization, while preserving a predominantly random distribution of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyanose (<i>GlcN</i>) and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyanose (<i>GlcNAc</i>) units. This close to random distribution, inferred with deconvolution of nuclear magnetic resonance (<sup>1</sup>H NMR) spectra, is considered as responsible for the solubility within a wide pH range. Two of the highly <i>N</i>-acetylated chitosans (DA ≈ 60 % and ≈ 70 %) exhibited full water solubility even at neutral pH, which can expand the biomedical applications of chitosans. </p>

A series of binuclear, hydroxyl-bridged copper(II) complexes 1-10 with the general formula [Cu2(LR2D2)(OH)](ClO4)2 was prepared and characterized. The mono basic, five- or sevendentate ligands HLR2D2 were obtained either by reduction of the Schiff bases derived from the condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol and the amines H2N – D (complex 1: D = -(CH2)2-NH2; 2: -(CH2)2-NMe2; 3: -(CH2)2-NEt2; 4: -(CH2)3-NEt2; 5: -(CH2)2-4-imidazolyl; 6: -CH2-2-pyridyl; 7: -(CH2)2-2-pyridyl) or by reacting 2,6-di-(chloromethyl)-4-methylphenol with 2-[(2-methylamino)ethyl]pyridine (complex 8), Ν,Ν,N′,N′-tetraethyldiethylenetriamine (complex 9) or bis[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]amine (complex 10) under HC1 elimination. The UV/VIS spectra of complexes 1-8 with two four-coordinate copper centers and of 9 and 10 with two five-coordinate copper centers are discussed. An X-ray structure analysis of complex 6 (= [Cu2(LR2D2)(OH)](ClO4)2 with R = H and D = -CH2-2-pyridyl) was carried out. 6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca and the two copper centers have practically co-planar, doubly O-bridged cis-N2O2 coordination geometries with one perchlorate anion being weakly coordinated to each copper. Stopped-flow spectrophotometry was used to study the kinetics of copper removal from [Cu2(LR2D2)(OH)]2+ with EDTA in the pH range 8.5-6.6 at 20 °C and I = 0.2 M (NaClO4). The reaction is first-order in both complex and EDTA, the rate law being: rate = k[complex][EDTA]total. At pH 8.0 second-order rate constants k range from 40.3 x 103 M -1s-1 (complex 6) to 3.72x 10-2 M-1s-1 (complex 9). It follows from the pH dependence of k that both species H2EDTA2- and HEDTA3- react independently with [Cu2(LR2D2)(OH)]2+, the reactivity of H2EDTA2- being considerably greater than that of HEDTA3-. The experimental facts support the operation of an associative (A) mechanism with the removal of the first copper being rate-controlling. The kinetic effects of the donor group D and substituent R are attributed to steric and/or electronic interactions.
