Rate constants are reported for all of the major steps followed in the chlorination of acetone, including the chlorination of mono- and 1,1-dichloroacetone, the chlorination of hydroxyacetone, the chlorination and hydroxide-catalyzed rearrangement of 1,1-dihydroxyacetone, and the haloform cleavage of trichloroacetone. pKa values are reported for hydroxyacetone and monochloroacetone. Rate constants for the hydrolyses of chloroacetone and 1,1-dichloroacetone are reported; these reactions are probably not SN2 displacements but proceed by addition of hydroxide and intramolecular displacement.

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.

Abstract 1. The decrease of free sulfur occurs according to the first order law during the vulcanization of natural rubber accelerated by mercaptobenzothiazole in the presence of zinc oxide. The activating energy for this reaction amounts to 30.5 kcal./mole. 2. If zinc benzothiazolylmercaptide is used as an accelerator, one obtains the same rate constants for the sulfur decrease as in the presence of mercaptobenzothiazole. These seem to be equivalent as regards their effectiveness of acceleration. 3. A kinetic analysis of the reciprocal swelling, which represents a measure of network formation, indicates that the reaction is first order. Sulfur decrease and reciprocal swelling prove to be equal processes as regards rate. This is true where vulcanization is accelerated with mercaptobenzothiazole or with the zinc salt. 4. During vulcanization there occurs a decrease of accelerator concentration. This is dependent upon the temperature and is tied in with the combination sulfur with rubber. 5. If the quantity of the accelerator added is changed, the rate constants for sulfur decrease and for reciprocal swelling do not change, provided that a minimum quantity of accelerator is present. 6. In vulcanization accelerated with zinc benzothiazolylmercaptide, zinc oxide being absent, sulfur decrease again occurs according to the first order law but considerably faster, without thereby changing the activation energy. These investigations are being continued and the results will be discussed in detail in relation to other published contributions in this field.

Extinction diagrams are applied for determining the number of partial reactions. In this paper a method is described for the calculation of the concentration of the reacting substances with the aid of extinction diagrams. The concentration values are more suitable for calculation of the rate constants, and in case of photochemical reactions the partial quantum yields, than the directly measured extinction values. The method of calculation is illustrated using the photochemical reaction of stilbene in a perfluorinated solvent as an example.

We describe the kinetic consequences of the mutation N217K in the M1 domain of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) α subunit that causes a slow channel congenital myasthenic syndrome (SCCMS). We previously showed that receptors containing αN217K expressed in 293 HEK cells open in prolonged activation episodes strikingly similar to those observed at the SCCMS end plates. Here we use single channel kinetic analysis to show that the prolonged activation episodes result primarily from slowing of the rate of acetylcholine (ACh) dissociation from the binding site. Rate constants for channel opening and closing are also slowed but to much smaller extents. The rate constants derived from kinetic analysis also describe the concentration dependence of receptor activation, revealing a 20-fold shift in the EC50 to lower agonist concentrations for αN217K. The apparent affinity of ACh binding, measured by competition against the rate of 125I-α-bungarotoxin binding, is also enhanced 20-fold by αN217K. Both the slowing of ACh dissociation and enhanced apparent affinity are specific to the lysine substitution, as the glutamine and glutamate substitutions have no effect. Substituting lysine for the equivalent asparagine in the β, ε, or δ subunits does not affect the kinetics of receptor activation or apparent agonist affinity. The results show that a mutation in the amino-terminal portion of the M1 domain produces a localized perturbation that stabilizes agonist bound to the resting state of the AChR.

Abstract The 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran oxidation was investigated in methanolic and dodecyl-ammonium propionate reversed micellar solutions using fluorescein sodium as photosensitizer. The furan oxidation was caused by the singlet oxygen mechanism (Type II). Aniline enhanced remarkably the furan oxidation in methanolic solutions, but inhibited highly this oxidation in the reversed micellar solutions. This enhancement of the furan oxidation was considered to be brought about by the occurrence of a radical mechanism (Type I) besides Type II mechanism. No Type I reaction occurred in the micellar solutions. The rate constants concerning with both reaction processes were evaluated by kinetic analysis, employing various aryl-and alkyl-amines. The reaction mechanism of Type I and the quenching mechanism of singlet oxygen by amines were discussed from the relationship between the rate constants, and the ionization potential of amines and the solvent polarity.

The reaction mechanism was explored at the CCSD(T)/CBS//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Detailed kinetic analysis was firstly carried out using an ME/RRKM rate model with the inclusion of anharmonic and tunneling treatments. 1,3-Cycloaddition is found to be the rate-determining step. Calculated rate constants confirm the latest experimental data.

Abstract The catalytic properties of peptides containing histidine, cysteine and aspartic acid in ester hydrolysis were studied. Saturation kinetics were found for the reaction of p-nitrophenyl acetate (NPA) with Z-His-Ala-Asp-Gly-Cys-NH2 and Z-His-Ala-Gly-Gly-Cys-NH2 . The Brönsted equation for the hydrolysis of tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-alanine-p-nitrophenylester (Boc-Ala-ONp) catalyzed by simple imidazole and SH-compounds was determined. The catalytic behaviour of the peptides in ester hydrolysis could not be described by the Brönsted equations for imidazole or thiole catalyzed hydrolysis of NPA and Boc-Ala-ONp. The pH dependence of the rate constants of the catalyzed ester hydrolysis gave no linear plots in 1/k versus H+ diagrams.
