Arguments are presented against the accepted notion that multiple rate constants may be obtained from observed singular or pooled kinetic runs. For any competitive consecutive second-order reaction, the particular solution satisfying the total differential equation, derived from (n + 1) simultaneous differential equations, is S = (aA0 − S0){(aA0/S0)[exp (aA0 − S0)kt] − 1}−1, where S is the concentration of reactant common for all the steps, A is the concentration of the substrate with a reactive sites, A0 and S0 are the concentration of reactants at zero time, k is the observed rate constant, and t is the time. This equation is shown to reproduce the experimental reported data and yields k = min(k(1), …, k(n)), where k(i) is the rate constant assigned to step i. It is also shown that the initial conditions need not be known. For experiments with the initial condition (aA0 = S0), with only species A and S are present at zero time, the expression [Formula: see text] may be useful for an approximate evaluation of k when values of S do not approach zero after an infinite time (i.e., Sx = α ≠ 0, where α is the asymptote for the data).

It has been found that the decay in dimethylformamide and dimethylformamide-water mixtures of radical anions in five of the investigated 5-nitrofurans is governed by a second-order reaction. Only the decay of the radical anion generated from 5-nitro-2-furfural III may be described by an equation including parallel first- and second-order reactions; this behaviour is evidently caused by the relatively high stability of the corresponding dianion, this being an intermediate in the reaction path. The presence of a larger conjugated system in the substituent in position 2 results in a decrease of the unpaired electron density in the nitro group and, consequently, an increase in the stability of the corresponding radical anions.

The reaction between hexamethylenediisocyanate and 1-pentanol in toluene was studied by means of reversed-phase liquid chromatography. By employing this method, it was possible to determine all components of the reaction mixture including both products, i.e. N-(6-isocyanate hexyl)pentylcarbamate and N,N'-bis(pentyloxycarbonyl)hexamethylenediamine. Relations for the calculation of kinetic constants were derived assuming a competitive consecutive second-order reaction. It was demonstrated that the reaction involved in this case is indeed a second-order reaction, and the rate constants of the first and second consecutive reactions were determined.

Certain features of RNA–DNA hybridization can be accounted for in terms of second-order-reaction theory. These include the use of annealing kinetics to estimate RNA complexity and the occurrence of approximately linear double-reciprocal plots.
