Hydrolysis Of

The rates of hydrolysis of the following orthoesters, 6 or 7-substituted 1,1-diethoxy 3,4-dihydrobenzo-2-pyrans (R = 6-MeO, H, 7-MeO, 7-NO2 and 6-NO2) were determined at 27 °C in water/dioxan (2:1 by volume). The catalytic rate constants as well as the Hammett ρ constants show that the rate-determining step is the formation of a cyclic carboxonium ion intermediate and constitute a kinetic piece of evidence for the determination of the nature of the reactive conformer in hydrolysis of 2,2-dialkoxy tetrahydropyran orthoesters.

Kinetics Of

A two step operation is proposed for the biodegradation of low concentrations (< 10 mg/L) of BETX substances in an up flow submerged biotower configuration. Step 1 involves growth of a lush biofilm using benzoic acid in a batch mode. Step 2 involves a longer term biological transformation of BETX. Kinetics of biotransformations are modeled using first order assumptions, with rate constants being a function of benzoic acid dosages used in Step 1. A calibrated computer model is developed and presented to predict the degree of transformation and biomass level throughout the tower under a variety of inlet and design operational conditions.

Catalytic Rate

The decomposition kinetics has been measured of fourteen 3-acetyl-1,3-bis(subst. phenyl)triazenes in 40% (v/v) ethanol and sulphuric acid. The kinetic acidity function and catalytic rate constants have been determined from the rate constants observed. Mechanism has been suggested for the general acid-catalyzed solvolysis from comparison of the course of the kinetic acidity function and H0 function and from the reaction constant of the Hammett equation.

Recurrent Formula

A method for constructing curves is proposed that are linear in a wide region and from whose slopes it is possible to determine the rate constant, if a parameter, θ, is calculated numerically from a rapidly converging recurrent formula or from its explicit form. The values of rate constants and parameter θ thus simply found are compared with those found by an optimization algorithm on a computer; the deviations do not exceed ±10%.

Coalescence Temperature

Four programs for the 1H NMR line shape analysis: two commercial - Winkubo (Bruker) and DNMR5 (QCPE 165) and two written in our laboratory - Newton (in Microsoft Excel) and Simtex (in Matlab) have been tested in order to get highly accurate rate constants of the hindered rotation about a single bond. For this purpose four testing criteria were used, two of them were also developed by us. As supplementary determinations the rate constants obtained for the coalescence temperature and for the thermal racemization of chromatographically separated enantiomers were used which fitted well the temperature dependence of the rate constants determined by the line shape analysis. As a test compound adamantan-1-yl 3-bromo-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl ketone was prepared and studied. It was shown that supermodified simplex method used in our algorithm (Simtex), though time consuming, gives the most accurate values of the rate constants and consequently the calculated thermodynamic parameters Ea, ∆H≠, and ∆S≠ lay in relatively narrow confidence intervals.
