The effects of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on the kinetics of the reaction of α-amino acid anions with p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA) and p-nitrophenyl hexanoate (pNPH) have been investigated. Pseudo-first-order rate constants obtained with various concentrations of nucleophile and β-CD, in aqueous solution at pH 9.88, were analyzed to yield rate constants for reaction of the nucleophiles with free ester (kN) and with ester bound to β-CD (kcN). For pNPA reacting with amino acids that bind weakly to β-CD, if at all, the ratio kcN/kN is very close to one, but for amino acids that bind appreciably to β-CD this ratio is greater than one (up to 3.5). Generally similar behaviour is observed for reactions with pNPH, but the rate ratios are smaller and all less than one. These findings are comparable to those obtained in this laboratory for the CD-mediated reactions of p-nitrophenyl alkanoate esters with other nucleophiles, including simple alkylamines that bind quite strongly to CDs, but they differ from those reported in an earlier study of the reaction of pNPA with amino acid anions (Can. J. Chem. 69, 1124 (1991)) where the data analysis suggested more substantial catalysis by cyclodextrins. Key words: amino acids, cyclodextrin, ester cleavage, kinetics, catalysis.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

The effects of cyclodextrins (CDs) on the rate of nucleophilic attack on 1- and 2-naphthyl acetates (1-NA and 2-NA) in aqueous solution have been investigated. Analysis of the variation of the pseudo-first-order rate constants with [nucleophile] and [CD] affords rate constants for reaction of the nucleophiles with free ester (kN) and with ester bound to the CD (kcN). The reaction of 1-NA and 2-NA with the trifluoroethoxide anion is slowed down by β-CD as the ratios kcN/kN are 0.11 and 0.30, respectively. For reaction with the anion of 2-mercaptoethanol in the presence of α-CD, β-CD, "hydroxypropyl-β-CD" (hp-β-CD) and γ-CD, the reactivity ratios kcN/kN vary between 0.04 and 2.4, ranging from strong retardation to modest catalysis; the retardations arise with β-CD and hp-β-CD, which bind the esters strongly. By contrast, the attack of primary alkylamines is generally accelerated, and in many cases substantially so. For the aminolysis of 1-NA in the presence of β-CD, values of kcN/kN range from 7 to 460, assuming that free amine reacts with CD-bound ester. Alternatively, if the CD-catalyzed reaction involves free ester reacting with CD-bound amine, with rate constant kNc, the ratios kNc/kN vary from 43 to 140. Either way, there is appreciable catalysis of the aminolysis of 1-NA by β-CD. For the aminolysis of 2-NA, the effects are less dramatic: the ratios kcN/kN range from 0.19 to 17, and values of kNc/kN vary from 17 to 110. The reaction of 1-NA with n-hexylamine is also catalyzed by γ-CD. The variations of kinetic parameters with alkylamine chain length suggest that the CD-catalyzed aminolysis basically takes place by the attack of CD-bound amine on the free ester. However, there must be some stabilizing interactions between the aryl group of the ester and the CD during the reaction, since the transition state stabilization is different for 1-NA and 2-NA, as well for other esters.Key words: aminolysis, catalysis, cyclodextrin, ester cleavage, kinetics.

The degradation of propoxycarbazone-sodium, an active component of commercial herbicide, in aqueous solution with ozone, UV photolysis and advanced oxidation processes: O3/UV, O3/UV/H2O2, H2O2/UV, and the Fenton process was studied. All these methods of degradation proved feasible. The kinetics of propoxycarbazone-sodium degradation in water followed the pseudo-first order equation for all studied processes except the Fenton treatment. The application of schemes with ozone demonstrated low pseudo-first order rate constants within the range of 10−4 s−1. Addition of UV radiation to the processes improved the removal of propoxycarbazone-sodium and increased the pseudo-first order rate constants to 10−3 s−1. The Fenton process was the most efficient and resulted in 5 and 60 s of half-life and 90% conversion time of propoxycarbazone-sodium, respectively, at 14 mM H2O2 concentration. UV treatment and the Fenton process may be recommended for practical application in decontamination of water or wastewater.

The kinetics of the reaction of the tetrakis(1-methylpyridium-4-yl)porphyrin tetracation, [ H 2( TMPyP )]4+, with gold(III) ions were studied along with equilibria of gold(III) species in aqueous medium at 25°C, I = 0.10 M ( NaNO 3). The equilibrium constants for the formation of [ AuCl 4-n( OH ) n ]- ( n = 0,…,4), defined as β n = [ AuCl 4- n ( OH ) n ]- [ Cl -] n / [ AuCl 4-][ OH -] n were found to be that log β1 = 7.94 ± 0.03, log β2 = 15.14 ± 0.03, log β3 = 21.30 ± 0.05 and log β4 = 26.88 ± 0.05. The overall reaction was first order with respect to each of the total [ Au (III)] and [ H 2 TMPyP 4+]. On the basis of pH dependence on rate constants and the hydrolysis of gold(III), the rate expression can be written as d [ Au ( TMPyP )5+]/ dt = ( k 1[ AuCl 4-] + k2[ AuCl 3( OH )-] + k3[ AuCl 2( OH )2-] + k4[ AuCl ( OH )3-])[ H 2 TMPyP 4+], where k1, k2, k3 and k4 were found to be (2.16 ± 0.31) × 10-1, (6.56 ± 0.19) × 10-1, (1.07 ± 0.24) × 10-1, and (0.29 ± 0.21) × 10-1 M -1. s -1, respectively. The kinetic data revealed that the trichloromonohydroxogold(III) species, [ AuCl 3( OH )]-, is the most reactive. The higher reactivity of [ AuCl 3( OH )]- is explained by hydrogen bonding formation between the hydroxyl group of [ AuCl 3( OH )]- and the pyrrole hydrogen atom of [ H 2( TMPyP )]4+. Furthermore, applying the Fuoss equation to the observed rate constants at different ionic strengths, the apparent net charge of [ H 2( TMPyP )]4+ was calculated to be +3.5.

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.

Abstract Degradation of naproxen (NAP) by persulfate (PS) activated with zero-valent iron (ZVI) was investigated in our study. The NAP in aqueous solution was degraded effectively by the ZVI/PS system and the degradation exhibited a pseudo-first-order kinetics pattern. Both sulfate radical (SO4•−) and hydroxyl radical (HO•) participate in the NAP degradation. The second-order rate constants for NAP reacting with SO4•− and HO• were (5.64 ± 0.73) × 109 M−1 s−1 and (9.05 ± 0.51) × 109 M−1 s−1, respectively. Influence of key parameters (initial pH, PS dosage, ZVI dosage, and NAP dosage) on NAP degradation were evaluated systematically. Based on the detected intermediates, the pathways of NAP degradation in ZVI/PS system was proposed. It was found that the presence of ammonia accelerated the corrosion of ZVI and thus promoted the release of Fe2+, which induced the increased generation of sulfate radicals from PS and promoted the degradation of NAP. Compared to its counterpart without ammonia, the degradation rates of NAP by ZVI/PS were increased to 3.6–17.5 folds and 1.2–2.2 folds under pH 7 and pH 9, respectively.

Reaction Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide in Aqueous Diethanolamine Solutions Using the Stopped-Flow Technique The pseudo-first-order rate constants (kOV) for the reactions between CO2 and diethanolamine have been studied using the stopped-flow technique in an aqueous solution at 293, 298, 303 and 313 K. The amine concentrations ranged from 167 to 500 mol·m-3. The overall reaction rate constant was found to increase with amine concentration and temperature. Both the zwitterion and termolecular mechanisms were applied to correlate the experimentally obtained rate constants. The values of SSE quality index showed a good agreement between the experimental data and the corresponding fit by the use of both mechanisms.

The kinetics of triethylamine (TEA) catalyzed deydrochlorination of a series of N-aryl-C-ethoxycarbonylformohydrazidoyl chlorides 1a–m have been studied under pseudo-first-order conditions in 4:1 (v/v) dioxane–water solution at 30 °C. For all compounds studied, the kinetics followed the rate law: kobs = k2 (TEA). The values of the overall second-order rate constants for the studied compounds were correlated by the equation: log k2 = 0.533σ−-0.218. The results are compatible with a mechanism involving a fast reversible deprotonation step leading to the anion of 1, followed by rate-determining step involving the loss of the chloride ion from the anion. The reaction constants of these two steps were estimated to be 0.845 and −0.312, respectively.

The kinetics of oxidation of proline by periodate has been studied at pH 1.40–8.83 and 30.0 °C. The reaction rate is first order in both periodate and amino acid, and the overall reaction follows second-order kinetics. There was no evidence for the formation of an appreciable amount of intermediate. The reaction rate is highest at pH 4–7 and the oxidation is catalysed by [Formula: see text] ions. The pH dependence of the reaction rate can be explained in terms of reaction of periodate monoanion and the protonated and dipolar forms of the amino acid. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law are consistent with the observed kinetics. The rate constants obtained from the derived rate law are in agreement with the observed rate constants, thus justifying the rate law and the proposed mechanistic scheme. Keywords: oxidation of proline, oxidation by periodate.

Abstract The Jaffé reaction for creatinine assay appears to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics; first-order rate constants are different for different samples. Rate constants for 10 different serum samples varied from a low value of 0.0040 +/- 0.0003 s-1 to 0.0084 +/- 0.0008 s-1. We describe an approach for determining first-order rate constants from kinetic data and discuss the effects of the above observations on the mathematical formulations required for reliable kinetic determinations of creatinine.
