    Notes: Abstract We first recall the observational and theoretical facts that constitute the so-called 3He problem. We then review the chemical anomalies that could be related to the destruction of 3He in red giants stars. We show how a simple consistent mechanism can lead to the destruction of 3He in low mass stars and simultaneously account for the low 12C/13C ratios and low lithium abundances observed in giant stars of different populations. This process should both naturally account for the recent measurements of 3He/H in galactic HII regions and allow for high values of 3He observed in some planetary nebulae. We propose a simple statistical estimation of the fraction of stars that may be affected by this process.

    Notes: Phthalic anhydride was detected spectrophotometrically in the hydrolysis of o-carboxybenzohydroxamic acid (OCBA) in CH3CN-H2O solvent containing 0.03 mol dm-3 HCl. Pseudo-first-order rate constants (k1) for hydrolysis of OCBA are almost independent of the change in CH3CN content from 10 to 80% (v/v) in mixed aqueous solvents. The rate constants k1 are more than 10-fold larger than the corresponding rate constants for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. These observations are explained in terms of a mechanism slightly different from the mechanism for hydrolysis of phthalamic acid. The activation parameters, ΔH* and ΔS*, are not affected appreciably by an increase in CH3CN content from 10 to 80% in mixed aqueous solvents. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A preferential solvation model that takes into account the enhancement of the structure of water when small amounts of alcohol are added was applied to solvatochromic data for binary mixtures of water with 2-methylpropan-2-ol, propan-2-ol, ethanol and methanol. Application of the model allows the calculation of the effect of the enhancement of the water structure on solvatochromic solvent properties. It is demonstrated that the enhancement of water structure increases the solvent dipolarity/polarizability and hydrogen-bond donor acidity and decreases the solvent hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity. The effect decreases in the order 2-methylpropan-2-ol-water, propan-2-ol-water, ethanol-water and methanol-water. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The coordination of a resonance-stabilized hydrocarbon cation and anion yielded a series of unprecedented hydrocarbons, which are susceptible to thermal heterolytic cleavage of carbon-carbon σ bonds in polar media, generating the original ions under reversible conditions. When the component ions were sufficiently stabilized, some ion pairs were even isolated as solids, thus providing the first examples of hydrocarbon salts. The direct observation of the heterolysis by means of spectroscopy permitted reliable thermodynamic treatments of the observed degree of ionic dissociation. Correlation of the free energy of heterolysis with solvent dielectric constants and parameters of ion stabilities such as pKHA, pKR+ and redox potentials revealed the importance of the thermodynamic stabilities of ions, the degree of solvation and steric congestion in the starting molecule as major controlling factors in the heterolysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Solvolyses of the N,N-diphenylcarbamoylpyridinium ion are subject to specific and/or general base catalysis, which can be eliminated by addition of perchloric acid or increased, especially in fluoroalcohol-containing solvents, by addition of pyridine. The uncatalyzed solvolyses in aqueous methanol and aqueous ethanol involve a weakly nucleophilically assisted (l  =  0.22) heterolysis and the solvolyses in the pure alcohols are anomalously slow. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effects of micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTABr), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyoxyethylene 10 lauryl ether (C12E10) on the rates of alkaline hydrolysis of securinine were studied at a constant [-OH] (0.05 M). An increase in the total concentrations of CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C12E10 from 0.0 to 0.2 M causes a decrease in the observed pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs) by factors of ca 2.5, 3, 7 and 4, respectively. The observed data are explained in terms of pseudophase and pseudophase ion-exchange (PIE) models of micelle. The binding constants, KS, of securinine with SDS, C12E10, CTABr and TTABr micelles are 32.4, 14.8, 22.1, and 9.1 M-1, respectively. The magnitudes of the second-order rate constants, kM, for the reactions in the micellar pseudophase are negligible compared with the corresponding rate constant, kW, for the reaction occurring in the aqueous pseudophase for CTABr, TTABr, SDS and C12E10. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: 2-Methylindole (2-MI) is adsorbed on the surface of colloidal CdS particles with an adsorption intensity of 0.6 × 103 dm3 mol-1. A new emission band at 530 nm is produced by forming an exciplex between excited CdS and 2-MI and the red emission due to CdS is simultaneously quenched. The emission maxima of green bands for different indoles increase in the order indole 〈 tryptophan 〈 2-MI 〈 3-MI and are observed at 508, 520, 530 and 540 nm, respectively. The shift in emission maxima is related to the oxidation potential of these substrates. The irradiation of an aerated reaction mixture containing CdS and 2-MI with visible light induces the oxidation of adsorbed 2-MI by photogenerated holes to produce 2-methyl-3-indolinone and 2-acetamidobenzaldehyde. The latter product is formed due to oxidative C - C bond cleavage of the pyrrole ring. The reactivity of trapped holes towards the adsorbed 2-MI is evidenced by a decrease in the lifetime of the red emission of CdS in the presence of 2-MI. In this reaction the possibility of the participation of singlet oxygen is ruled out. A general mechanism of CdS-induced oxidation of indoles is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The rate data for the Menschutkin reaction between strongly activated Z-substituted benzyl p-toluenesulfonates and Y-substituted N,N-dimethylanilines in acetonitrile at 35 °C fit the equation, kobs  =  k1 + k2 [DMA], which is consistent with concurrent first- and second-order processes. The k1 and k2 values for each substrate were separated based on the above equation. The SN1 rate constant, k1, is unaffected by the nature of the nucleophile, whereas the SN2 rate constant, k2, increased with the electron-donating substituent of the N,N-dimethylaniline. The substituent effect on the k1 values is linearly correlated by the Yukawa-Tsuno equation with ρ  =  -5.2 and r  =  1.3. The unimolecular reaction can be regarded as a classical SN1 mechanism. In contrast, that on the k2 values shows an upward curvature when analyzed by the Brown σ+ treatment. These results are ascribed to the simultaneous and independent occurrence of SN1 and SN2 mechanisms in the present Menschutkin reaction. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Solution enthalpies of n-hexane, acetone, butan-2-one and octan-2-one in a series of tetrachloromethane-acetonitrile mixtures and the carbonyl stretching absorption frequencies in the IR spectra of these ketones were determined. It was found that over the whole range of concentrations (varying from neat tetrachloromethane up to neat acetonitrile) the solvation enthalpy of these compounds can be obtained additively from the contributions of the alkyl and carbonyl fragments. The solvent effect on the solvation enthalpy of the carbonyl group was found to be satisfactorily correlated with the corresponding IR frequency shifts of the C=O group. It was also found that the sensitivities of the carbonyl IR frequencies to the solvent composition are different for various ketones. From both IR and calorimetric data, the preferential solvation parameters were evaluated. The differences between the IR spectroscopic and calorimetric data are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: In an effort to model solute-solvent interactions, the C=O stretching frequencies of five 1-substituted 2-pyrrolidinones and four other carbonyl-containing compounds were measured for 30 common solvents. These were then correlated with four empirical parameter sets and one theoretical (computational) parameter set. While an empirical parameter set gave the best correlation equations, the theoretical parameter equations are physically and statistically significant. Solvent volume, polarizability and hydrogen bond donor acidity (capacity) terms are significant in the correlation equations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The P - S bond cleavage process in the hydroperoxidolysis of a model system for the nerve agent VX was studied using ab initio and semiempirical molecular orbital methods. Aqueous solvation effects were included through single-point calculations using the semiempirical SM5.2PD/A continuum solvation model and geometries optimized at the HF/MIDI! level of theory. The predominant pathway for P - S bond cleavage involves pseudorotation of a low-energy trigonal bipyramidal intermediate followed by apical ligand ejection. In aqueous solution, the free energy barriers for these processes are found to be 14.3 and 4.6 kcal mol-1, respectively, with electronic energies calculated at the MP2/cc-pVDZ//HF/MIDI! level of theory. By comparison with another continuum model of solvation (PCM), it is concluded that the SM5.2PD/A model performs well even for hypervalent phosphorus species, in spite of not having included any such molecules in the model's parameterization set. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Transition metal-catalyzed decomposition of phenyliodonium and diphenylsulfonium ylides was investigated with regard to application in asymmetric carbenoid reactions. Phenyliodonium ylides react in the presence of Rh(II) catalysts with the same selectivity in inter- and intramolecular cyclopropanations as the corresponding diazo compounds, and intramolecular CH insertions proceed with identical enantioselectivities. With diphenylsulfonium ethoxycarbonylmethylide the Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of olefins affords trans/cis ratios and asymmetric inductions identical with those of diazo compounds, but with Rh(II) catalysts some small, although significant, selectivity variations occur, which are ascribed to coordination of diphenyl sulfide to one of the coordination sites of the catalyst. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The last step in the biosynthesis of biotin involves the formation of carbon-sulfur bonds at non-activated carbons catalyzed by biotin synthase. S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) and an electron source are essential for activity in cell-free systems. This important finding connects biotin synthase to a family of enzymes, namely pyruvate-formate lyase, anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase and lysine 2,3-aminomutase, which use the same cofactors. Additional experimental data led to the proposition of the following general mechanism. The carbons to be functionalized are first activated by homolytic cleavage of the C - H bonds, initiated by the deoxyadenosyl radical produced by a monoelectronic reductive cleavage of AdoMet with NADPH as electron source. The electron transfer system involves flavoproteins and very likely the [Fe - S] center of biotin synthase. NADPH and the flavoproteins can be replaced by photoreduced deazaflavin. By using a deuterated substrate, a deuterium transfer into deoxyadenosine has been observed, indicating that biotin synthase should be closely related to lysine 2,3-aminomutase, which uses AdoMet as a surrogate of vitamin B12. The source of sulfur, the nature of the immediate sulfur donor and hence the mechanism of trapping of the intermediate radicals are still unknown. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Acidic hydrolysis and cyclization were studied in vincoside glycosides (‘natural’ series) and their dihydro derivatives (‘dihydro’ series) in which either one or both N atoms were free or blocked by an alkyl group. For interpretation of the results, a graph was constructed in which 25 points (actually circles) represent a maximum of 81 aglycone types and 40 arrows indicate 131 possible cyclizations. The reaction matrix of the graph was under thermodynamic control and in most cases afforded the thermodynamically most stable product aglycones. In addition to the deglycosylation, two types of cyclization were observed. In azacyclizations, the preferred nucleophilic site is N-4 over N-1, and the preferred electrophilic site is C-22 in the glycosides, C-21 over C-19 and C-17 in aglycones. In oxacyclizations, the preferred nucleophilic site is O-17 over C-18 and C-21, and the preferred electrophilic site is C-19 over C-21 and C-17 in the ‘natural’ series, C-21 over C-17 in the ‘dihydro’ series. In one case, the kinetically favoured aglycone types which had been generated in the reaction mixture were trapped in a subsequent reaction (outside the graph) before thermodynamic equilibrium was attained. With the help of graphical analysis it was possible to justify the formation of the most favourable and actually isolated products and pathways out of a large number of possibilities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Rates of chemical reactions in aqueous solutions are often sensitive to low concentrations of added solutes such as ureas, alcohols, α-amino acids and carbohydrates. In this work, several simple chemical reactions were used to probe this sensitivity, which arises from interactions between added solute and the reacting solute. It was found that derived interaction parameters provide a novel insight into interactions between solute molecules in aqueous solution. For example, it was possible to identify two interesting effects, which are termed (i) ‘destructive overlap’ of hydration cospheres and (ii) ‘camouflage effects’ by water-solute interactions.

    Notes: The problem of the ipso protonation of toluene and its predominantly disubstituted derivatives was considered by the MP2(fc)/6-31G**//HF/6-31G*+ZPE(HF/6-31G*) theoretical model. The substituents involved covered a wide range of different donor-acceptor capabilities. It is shown that the calculated MP2 ipso proton affinities of substituted toluenes follow mutatis mutandis the same additivity rule which was found earlier to be operative in polysubstituted benzenes, naphthalenes and biphenylenes. The additivity equation is both intuitively appealing and useful, being able to offer quantitative estimates of the proton affinity by very simple calculation. It is based on the concept of the increment, which in turn describes the influence of a single substituent on the proton affinity. Any substituent behaves as a rule as if the other were non-existent, thus giving rise to the independent substituent approximation (ISA). The performance of the additivity rule of thumb is very good, as evidenced by the average absolute deviation of 1 kcal mol-1. Larger deviations are possible, but they rarely occur, being indicative of a difference in interactions between substituents in the initial neutral base and in the final cationic conjugate acid. Finally, it follows as a corollary of the present analysis that protonation ipso to the CH3 group is never thermodynamically the most favourable site of proton attack in the benzene ring, provided that there is a single unsubstituted carbon atom within the aromatic moiety. The relevance of ipso protonation in persubstituted benzenes is briefly discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The fluorescence of pyrenyl residues in complexes with the nucleic acid bases G, C and T, but not A, is strongly quenched by photoinduced electron transfer mechanisms. Site-specifically modified 11-mer oligonucleotide duplexes containing a single modified guanosyl base G* bearing a covalently attached pyrenyl residue were prepared in order to probe for photochemical damage associated with these photoinduced electron transfer reactions. When the pyrenyl residue positioned at G* is photoexcited with 355 nm light, direct strand cleavage is observed at that site with low quantum yield. Frank strand breaks are also observed up to five base pairs away from G*, suggesting that intrastrand migration of a reactive intermediate from base to base is occurring. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An overview of the recent synthetic breakthroughs brought about by the discovery of new, functional group tolerant late transition metal (Rh and Ru)-based catalysts is proposed. Whereas dirhodium(II)-based complexes promote only carbene transfer reactions to olefins (i.e. olefin cyclopropanation), a few ruthenium-based catalysts can be engineered and fine tuned so as to mediate either carbene-transfer reactions or olefin metathesis. The different outcome of the reactions can be rationalized by the capability of the metal center to coordinate or not both the carbene and the olefin. This quite simple-minded approach indicates that several available coordination sites at the metal center favors metathesis reactions to the prejudice of olefin cyclopropanation. Examples of recent applications in ring opening metathesis polymerizations and copolymerizations include the formation of postpolymers of polydienes, of carbohydrate-substituted polymers and of telechelic oligomers. Application of the same ruthenium-based catalysts in ring-closing metathesis is illustrated by the formation of crown ether analogs, of unsaturated peptides and amino acids, of β-lactams, and of different bicyclic systems.

    Notes: The relative yields of the products of isomerization of D,L-glyceraldehyde in D2O with intramolecular transfer of a hydride ([1-1H]DHA) and with proton transfer ([1-2H]DHA) were determined by high-resolution 1H NMR analyses. A study of the catalysis of this isomerization by deuteroxide ion, buffer anions and Zn2+ established the following: (1) isomerization with proton and hydride transfer occurs at approximately equal rates in dilute solutions of sodium deuteroxide; (2) Brønsted bases catalyze isomerization with proton transfer in a bimolecular reaction; (3) Zn2+ catalyzes isomerization with hydride transfer in a bimolecular reaction; and (4) Zn2+ and acetate ion react in concert to catalyze isomerization with proton transfer in a termolecular reaction. These results show that the various pathways for isomerization with proton and hydride transfer proceed via transition states of similar energies, so that there is no strong imperative for enzymatic catalysis by any particular reaction mechanism. The relevance of these results to the mechanism of action of xylose isomerase is discussed briefly. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Photo-reactions of tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (1) with benzene (2a) and substituted benzenes (2b-f) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) gave 2-(2-, 3- and 4-substituted anilino)pyrimidines (3-5) together with 2-aminopyridine (6) and biphenyl (7) or diarylmethanes (8b, 8c and 8e). From the effect of heavy-atom solvent on the reactions, it is reasonable to assume that 3-5 are formed via a singlet species, but 6-8 via a triplet species. The intermediacy of 2-pyrimidylnitrenium ion is consistent with the evidence derived by the above effect, by a Hammett plot with ρ = -2.9 and by effects of solvent nucleophilicity and counter-anions. The selective exocyclic N-arylation giving 3-5 is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The hydrolysis reactions of 4-amino-2-phenethyl- and 4-amino-2-cyclohexyl-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-1,2,5-thiadiazole 1,1-dioxide (Ia and Ib) were investigated in the range 24-73 °C in buffered aqueous solutions. The observed rate constants (kobs) are independent of pH in the range ca 1-4 pH, but increase with increase in pH above ca 4. A linear log kobs vs pH profile with unit slope is observed from pH ca 4 up to the highest experimental pH (ca 10). The products are the corresponding new compounds: 2-amino-2-[(N-substituted-sulfamoyl)imino]acetic acid salts. The C=N bond of these compounds hydrolyses further, in a slow reaction, to the sulfamide and oxalic acid derivatives. The substrates decompose to the final products without accumulation of the acetic acid derivatives under these experimental conditions. A mechanism is proposed. Rate constants and activation parameters are given for the first reaction step. Owing to steric effects, the reaction rate is higher for the N-phenethyl-substituted derivative than for the 2-cyclohexyl-substituted derivative. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The reactions of 2-N-methylindolyl and 2- and 3-benzo[b]thiophenyl anions with nitrile oxides and nitrilimines were performed in order to investigate whether the use of anionic dipolarophiles modifies a classical 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. When lithium compounds were used as bases, the heterocyclic anions invariably acted as nucleophilic species; in contrast, when a Grignard reagent was employed, the N-methylindole gave cycloaddition products with an extraordinary rate enhancement. The hypothesis that N-methylindole and ethylmagnesium bromide give an adduct much more reactive than N-methylindole itself was supported by the results of a theoretical investigation. The structure and electron distribution of the adduct were determined by ab initio calculations and compared with those of known Grignard complexes with nitrogen ligands. The performance of different basis sets was tested. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules was used to determine atomic charges and to describe the nature of bonds in terms of the properties of the electron density at the bond critical points. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) of boat and planar structure of silepins (1) and cycloheptatriene (2) were calculated at the HF/6-31+G* level for the Becke3LYP/6-31G* optimized geometries in order to investigate the correlation between the inversion barrier and aromatic nature in the boat and planar forms of 1 and 2. The NICS of unsubstituted silepin 1a indicated that there is almost no stabilization in the boat form (NICS, -0.5) and that the planar form (NICS, 3.5) is relatively destabilized in comparison with the boat form. On the other hand, the NICS of 2 showed that there is considerable homoconjugative stabilization in the boat form (NICS, -4.2) and destabilization in the planar form (NICS, 8.2). In addition to the geometrical effects resulting from angle strain, these electronic effects are considered to affect the energy barriers for ring inversion, which have been calculated to be 0.9 kcal mol-1 for 1a and 5.2 kcal mol-1 for 2. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Variable-temperature UV-vis, 13C NMR and IR studies showed that proton-transferred complexes were formed between phenols and amines in apolar solvents at low temperature. Upon cooling a solution of p-nitrophenol and diisopropylamine in toluene, the colour of the solution changed from colourless to yellow. This thermochromism was ascribed to the proton transfer in the hydrogen-bonding complex. Under UV-vis conditions, butylamine and imidazole also caused similar thermochromism upon complexation with p-nitrophenol, while triethylamine, quinuclidine and pyridine did not. The thermochromic behaviour was particularly dependent on the stoichiometry of the amine and the phenol: a solution of 3,3′-dibromo-5,5′-dinitro-2,2′-biphenyldiol and diisopropylamine with a molar ratio of 1:1 showed no thermochromism, while solutions with 1:2 or higher ratios showed thermochromism, indicating that excess amine is required to obtain the proton-transferred species. These results revealed that the proton-transferred species forms in apolar solvents at low temperature if an appropriate hydrogen-bonding network between the phenol and the amine can stabilize it. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The cation radical of 9-tert-butyl-N-methylacridan, generated electrochemically or photochemically, offers, in the presence of strong bases, a remarkable example of a double fragmentation. Whereas in acidic or weakly basic media the tert-butyl radical is cleaved with concomitant formation of the methylacridinium cation, the presence of a strong base triggers the cleavage of both the methyl group borne by the nitrogen atom and the tert-butyl group on C-9 leading to acridine, formaldehyde and the tert-butyl anion, even though methylacridinium cation is stable under these conditions. The origin of this unprecedented behavior resides in the prior deprotonation of the methyl group borne by the nitrogen atom which outruns the usual deprotonation at the 9-carbon because this is slowed by the steric hindrance due to the presence of the tert-butyl group. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Peroxymonosulfate ion, HSO5-, as Oxone in aqueous H2SO4, oxidizes sulfides [MeSC6H4X(p), X = Me, H, NO2] to sulfoxides and converts aryl thiobenzoates [PhCOSC6H4X(p), X = Me, H] and thiol phosphorus(V) esters [Ph2POSPh, (EtO)2POSPh, Ph2POSEt, Ph(EtO)POSEt] into the acids and sulfonate ions. Second-order rate constants increase with increasing concentration of H2SO4 (10-53 wt%), owing to the high polarity of the medium rather than to acid catalysis. The rate increases fit the Grunwald-Winstein equation based on YOTs solvent parameters derived from rate effects on SN1 solvolyses. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The base-promoted elimination reactions of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(dimethoxyphenyl)ethanes were investigated. The bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane was found to be more reactive than the bis(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane and the latter more reactive than the bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane. Kinetic data relative to 1,1,1-trihalo(chloro or bromo)-2,2-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanes show that the tribromo reacts faster than trichloro derivative and that the reactions are general-base promoted with Brønsted β values of about 0.6. A kinetic isotope effect, with kH/kD ratio ranging from 3.5 to 5.7, for the base-promoted elimination reaction of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethane was found. Tunneling occurs for methoxide and ethoxide ion-promoted eliminations. Activation parameters for alkoxy-promoted elimination show a similar trend for chloride and bromide derivatives. The data collected seem to confirm that there is contiguity between E1cBirr and E2 mechanisms. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Rate constants, k, were determined for the solvolytic reactions of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane, 2-chloro-2-methylbutane and 3-chloro-3-methylpentane in 10 pure diols at 298.15 K. The Gibbs energies of activation were calculated in order to study the influence of the solvent and to provide mechanistic information about the activation process. By combining these values with a set of infinite dilution activity coefficients, γ∞, the transfer Gibbs energies of the reactants (initial state) and of the activated complex (transition state) were obtained, which allowed the solvent effects on both states to be quantitatively analysed. The γ∞ values were calculated using the UNIFAC group contribution method. The modified Flory-Huggins equation was used in the combinatorial term. The interaction parameters were taken from the specific UNIFAC γ∞ interaction parameter table, except for the γ∞ values of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane and 3-chloro-3-methylpentane in diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol, which were obtained using the γ∞ UNIFAC-VLE interaction parameter tables. For comparative purposes all the other infinite dilution activity coefficients of the three solutes in the diols were also calculated using the UNIFAC-VLE parameter tables. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The N-acetyl-N-(2-fluorenyl)nitrenium ion (2a) reacts very efficiently with monomeric 2′-deoxyguanosine (d-G) to form a C-8 adduct, N-(2′-deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene (6), in an aqueous environment, with a selectivity ratio, kd-G/ks, of 13.1 × 103 M-1 at 0°C and 4.8 × 103 M-1 at 30°C. The reactivity of the self-complementary oligomer d-ATGCAT with 2a can be separated into components due to the single-stranded (SS) and double-stranded (DS) forms. Within the error limits of the measurements kSS/kd-G ≈ 0.27 and kDS/kd-G ≈ 0. Another measure of the reactivity of d-G moieties in the DNA double helix can be obtained from measurements with the circular super-coiled plasmid pUC19. This plasmid provides an upper limit for kpUC19/kd-G of 0.02, where kpUC19 is the average trapping rate constant per d-G moiety in pUC19. The strong inhibition of the trapping reaction caused by the tertiary structure of the DNA double helix may be responsible for the change in product distribution of 2a-d-G adducts found from reaction with d-G, and denatured DNA (exclusive C-8 adduct, 6) and native DNA [5-20% N-2 adduct,3-(2′-deoxyguanosin-N2-yl)-2-acetylaminofluorene, 7]. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Pseudo-first-order rate constants (k1) for the reaction of ethane-1,2-diol (DOL) with ionized phenyl salicylate (PS-), obtained in mixed DOL-CH3CN solvent at constant [H2O] and [NaOH], obey the relationship k1  =  α[DOL]T/(1 + 2KA[DOL]T), where α is the apparent second-order rate constant, KA is the association constant for the dimerization of DOL and [DOL]T is the total concentration of DOL. The values of KA, in the presence of Na+ ions, decrease with increase in [H2O]. Lithium ions cause almost complete depolymerization of polymeric DOL (i.e. KA ≈ 0) under the experimental conditions imposed. The effect of 0.5 M urea on the structural behavior of the mixed solvent is kinetically insignificant. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: There are two possible explanations for the high yields in the intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of compounds 3a-d in which two styrene moieties are bridged by an oligooxyethylene linkage: one is the electronic effects of phenoxy oxygen atoms at the para-position of the vinyl group and the other is the steric effects due to the flexibility of oligooxyethylene linkages. In order to clarify the contributions of the two effects, a study was made of the photoreaction of similar compounds in which oxygen atoms are present only at the ends of the chain, and therefore only the electronic effects are involved. In these compounds, the quantum yields of the photocycloaddition were found to be low. Hence the high yields in the photocycloaddition of 3a-d are concluded to be ascribable to the flexibility of oligooxyethylene linkages. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The K-band λmax values of the UV spectra of five types of p-Y-benzaldehyde derivatives, namely phenylhydrazones (1-Ys), 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones (2-Ys), 4-nitrophenylhydrazones (3-Ys), semicarbazones (4-Ys) and N-phenylsemicarbazones (5-Ys), were measured and the corresponding wavenumbers (νmax) calculated. Correlation analyses of the νmax values by the dual-parameter equation show that the νmax values of these compounds are affected, albeit to different degrees, by both spin-delocalization effects (σ·) and polar effects (σx) of the substituents. The spin-delocalization effects of substituents always facilitate bathochromic shifts of the λmax values (ρ· negative). However, polar effects of the substituents on these λmax data depend on the mode of polarization of these hydrazone or semicarbazone molecules, i.e. electron-pair acceptor substituents (Ys) facilitate bathochromic shifts for 1-Ys (ρx negative), but hypsochromic shifts for 2-Ys and 3-Ys (ρx positive), and induce very small shifts for 4-Ys and 5-Ys. As expected, donor Ys facilitate hypsochromic shifts for 1-Ys and bathochromic shifts for 2-Ys and 3-Ys and induce very small shifts for 4-Ys and 5-Ys. Possibly, a higher degree of polarization of the substrate molecule would demand a higher degree of polar assistance from the substituents at the transition states. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Hydron exchange rates, kexc (M-1s-1), using methanolic sodium methoxide were compared with ΔG°Acid, (kcal mol-1) (gas phase) for 9-phenylfluorene, C6H5CH(CF3)2, m-CF3C6H4CH(CF3)2, p-CF3C6H4CHClCF3, m-CF3C6H4CHClCF3, 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3CHClCF3, fluorene and C6F5H. There is a good linear correlation for p-CF3C6H4CHClCF3, m-CF3C6H4CHClCF3 and 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3CHClCF3, with the others falling off the line. The fluorinated benzyl compounds and pentafluorobenzene have near-unity isotope effects and therefore differ from the fluorenyl compounds. Although the acidity and the exchange rates for three of the compounds [9-phenylfluorene, C6H5CH(CF3)2 and p-CF3C6H4CHClCF3] are similar, the important proton-transfer step to form a hydrogen-bonded carbanion intermediate and the subsequent breaking of that weak bond to form a free carbanion in methanol differ significantly for the fluoernyl compound compared with the two fluorinated benzylic compounds. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Primary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (PDKIE) in parazoline-annelated syn-sesquinorbornenes exhibiting irreversible intramolecular (4σ + 2π) thermal dyotropy reveal unambiguous evidence for a tunnelling contribution to the kinetics in one instance but not for a close analogue. For analogous dyotropy of a cyclohexadiene-annelated syn-sesquinorbornene, the tunnelling components of the kinetic behaviour is small by comparison. The H atom traverse between alternative loci for the pyrazolines, deduced from x-ray and neutron diffraction data, is in agreement with approximate barrier parameters obtained by fitting of the PDKIE data to the Bell equation; barrier penetration is 3.22 kcal below the computed barrier corrected for the tunnelling contribution. The relative kinetic effect of systematic variation of the π-donor/acceptor groups on aryl ring substituents at C and N in the pyrazoline ring is consistent with a pericyclic process for dyotropy of these compounds, but not with rearrangement mediated by biradicals resulting from single H atom transfer in the rate-limiting step. Computer modelling of the transition state for dyotropy of these compounds is also consistent with a thermal, orbital symmetry conserved pericyclic reaction. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An essential feature of the concept of aromaticity has been the stability and lack of reactivity of aromatics relative to that of other unsaturated compounds. Contrary to this general experience, high and unusual reactivity is encountered when simple, monocyclic benzene rings are bent by short bridges into a boat-shaped conformation, as is the case in small [n] paracyclophanes (n ≤ 8) and [n]metacyclophanes (n ≤ 7). This is illustrated, mostly with examples taken from the authors' own work, for thermal and photochemical behavior and reactions with electrophiles, nucleophiles and dienophiles. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A decade's worth of work is reviewed: building on the demonstrated prowess of heterogeneous catalysis in industrial organic chemistry, the author's laboratory devised efficient catalysts for a number of organic reactions, based on aluminosilicates such as clays and zeolites. This review also spells out, at a time when creative research is overshadowed by imitative research, some of the methodological musts that also happen to characterize physical organic chemistry: the devising of experiments so that accurate numerical data can be obtained; the importance of remote, interdisciplinary connections; the need for estrangement from stereotypic preconceptions that may obscure the true explanations for the phenomena; and the over-riding need for concerning oneself only, or at least predominantly, with the important facts that nature tells, if one cares to listen. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The protonation processes of phosphotetrahedrane (PTH) and diphosphatetrahedrane (DPTH) were studied using density functional theory approaches. The geometries of the neutrals and the protonated species were optimized at the B3LYP/6- 31G(d) level and the final energies were obtained using the B3LYP/6- 311+G(3df,2p) level of theory. Both PTH and DPTH are tetrahedral compounds which behave as carbon bases in the gas phase. In contrast with what was found for other phosphorus-containing cage structures such as tetraphosphacubane, the nature of the basic center does not change when the hydrogen atoms are substituted by bulky substituents. This is a consequence of the fact that both phosphorus and carbon protonation processes lead to C - P bond fission, so that the repulsive interactions between the susbtituents are not significantly different in carbon- or phosphorus-protonated structures. Protonation of DPTH at the P - P bond yields a local minimum with a P - H - P linkage similar to that described before for the most stable protonated form of P4. This seems to indicate that the existence of P - P linkages in strained structures clearly favors the formation of non-classical protonated species where the proton bridges the two phosphorus atoms. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An improved model is presented for ab initio calculations of the polarizability constants σα using Sadlej's basis set. A new set of constants was calculated for common groups and these were compared with previous 3-21G and 3-21G* calculations and with some experimental equilibrium constants in the gas phase. For the time being, the calculations seem to be the most general approach for obtaining these constants whereas the experimental possibilities are limited in scope. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A series of substituted N-methyl-N-nitrosobenzenesulfonamides [2,4,6-(CH3)3, 4-CH3O, 4-CH3, 4-Cl and 4-NO2] were synthesized. All of them transfer their nitroso group to N-methylaniline in a quantitative manner, the more reactive being those substituted with electron-withdrawing groups, thus resembling some of the known alkyl nitrites. Studies of their acid denitrosation and base-catalysed hydrolysis demonstrated that the nitrosobenzenesulfonamides are fairly stable in aqueous media between pH 2 and 11. Their relative stability in aqueous media together with their ability to transfer the nitroso group to nucleophiles suggest their use as excellent alternatives to alkyl nitrites in both neutral and basic media. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The 6-Mono- and trans-6,7-di-substituted derivatives of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,c]cyclo-octene exist in solution in two different conformations. The experimental ΔGo values obtained from 1H NMR spectra are compared with the ΔEsteric and ΔG values calculated by molecular mechanics and semiempirical quantum mechanics methods respectively. The experimental ΔGo values are reproduced better by the ΔEsteric values. The semiempirical methods predict the order of stability of the conformers correctly except for two cases in the PM3 and AM1 methods, but the estimated values are far from the experimental ones. The standard deviation between the experimental ΔGo values and those calculated by semiempirical methods is less for AM1 and MNDO and greater for PM3 and MINDO/3. The conformational space of the flexible side chains in monoacetoxy 1d, monohydroxy 1e, trans-diacid 2d, trans-dimethyl ester 2e and trans-bis-hydroxymethyl 2f searched by molecular mechanics is not reproduced completely by semiempirical methods. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effect of solvent composition on the acidity of substituted phenols in DMSO-H2O systems was examined. It is shown that in DMSO-H2O mixtures with up to 35 mol% DMSO there is a linear relationship between the pKa values of monosubstituted phenols in the binary solvent mixtures of different compositions and the corresponding pKa values in water. This leads to an equation relating the slope and intercept terms, pKa(DMSO-H2O) = slope[pKa(H2O)] + intercept. The basis of this relationship in the Kirkwood-Westheimer equation is examined. The significance of a possible ‘supersolvent’ is discussed. The applicability of the relationships derived herein to other rate-equilibria relationships and solvent mixtures is considered.

    Notes: Ground-state dipolar moments of oligomeric compounds, containing electron-donor (D) and electron-acceptor (A) groups as two terminal units of the polyenic bridge (D-wire-A), can well be described by means of a one-dimensional molecular wire model, which considers a scattering process of electrons through the charge-transfer conduction channel. The dipole moment of the oligomers (μn) follows a non-linear dependence of the polyenic bridge length (L) according to μn = μ0 + μ∞(1 - e- γL) where μ0 is the dipole moment of the first compound of the series, without a polyenic unit (n = 0), μ∞ is a limit value for L → ∞ and γ is the one-dimensional conduction constant of the π-molecular orbital channel of the molecular wire. This model can be extended to all those conjugated oligomers of the D-wire-A type where the electronic charge of the donor group can induce a soliton wave as far as through the polyenic bridge towards the acceptor group.

    Notes: The Monte Carlo search of the low-energy regions of D-mannitol (4) and D-glucitol (5) conformational space was undertaken in order to investigate conformational effects on the stereochemistry of the acid-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization reaction of 4 and 5 to the corresponding 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitols. It was found that although dominant conformations in water resemble closely the crystal state conformations of 4 and 5, the same is not true in solvents of low polarity. The magnitudes of the calculated energies of the reactive conformations for the dehydrative cyclization reaction suggest an SN2 mechanism with a late transition state.

    Notes: The description of catalysis in terms of binding of a catalyst to the transition state propoposed by Kurz is applied to tautomerization of the α-heterocyclic ketones phenacylpyridine, phenacylpyrazine, phenacylphenanthroline and phenylacetylpyridine catalysed by protons and zinc ions. Binding constants for protonated and zinc-coordinated transition states, KB≠ are reported and Brønsted coefficients are calculated from comparison of KB≠ with binding constants for the keto reactant and enolate anion intermediate. The formal equivalence of the binding formalism to a conventional Brønsted analysis is emphasized, and the results are compared with those from a ‘generalised’ Brønsted plot of rate constants against equilibrium constants for reactions of uncomplexed, protonated and zinc ion-coordinated ketones. This plot confirms that intrinsic reactivities of metal-coordinated and protonated substrates are similar even where differences exist between substrates. Application of a comparable Kurz-Brønsted treatment to enzymatic reactions depends in principle upon (a) dissecting binding contributions to catalysis from approximation of covalently reacting groups and (b) separating binding at the reaction site of the substrate, to which Kurz's treatment applies, from ‘remote’ binding, which, to a first approximation, is unchanged between Michaelis complex and transition state. The Brønsted relationship highlights stabilization of reactive intermediates as a thermodynamic driving force for binding catalysis at the reaction site. A formal expression which describes this stabilization, and also accommodates stabilization by remote binding of the substrate and intermediate by the enzyme, is proposed. Its relationship to the usual expression for application of the Kurz approach to enzyme catalysis, (kcat/k0)/Km = KB≠, is discussed and the usefulness of the Brønsted and Marcus relationships for interpreting KB≠ is emphasized. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Several luminescent ruthenium(II) complexes were designed whose main characteristic is their photoreactivity towards mononucleotides and DNA. It was clearly demonstrated that this photoreactivity originates from a photoinduced electron transfer from a guanine to the excited complex. This process leads to the formation of an adduct which was characterized. The structure shows that the complex is anchored to the nucleotidic base via one of its polyazaaromatic ligands, thus marking irreversibly the DNA guanines. Interestingly, this property can be used in order to target, for example, (i) specific DNA sequences and (ii) particular DNA topologies. For each purpose a specific Ru(II) complex was designed. Synthetic oligonucleotides derivatized with mononuclear complexes were prepared to target and damage specific DNA sequences containing G sites. In these systems, it is shown that the DNA damage consists of an irreversible photo-crosslinking of the derivatized oligonucleotide with the complementary strand. In order to target portions of important deformation along double-stranded DNA, the dinuclear complex [Ru(phen)2]2HAT4+ was prepared and studied. This complex is too large to penetrate inside the major or minor grooves of a DNA double helix, so that only single-stranded portions of denatured DNA are accessible to this compound. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Structure-reactivity relationships are usually investigated within relatively narrow classes of compounds, where structural variation can unequivocally be assigned to certain electronic and steric effects. We present a novel, semiquantitative approach to predict possible reactions of cationic electrophiles (carbenium ions, metal π-complexes, diazonium ions) with neutral nucleophiles (alkenes, alkynes, arenes, hydrides, organometallics and n-nucleophiles). It is shown that the rate constants for these reactions are given with a precision better than a factor of 10-100 by the linear free enthalpy relationship log k(20 °C) = s (E + N), where E characterizes the strengths of the electrophiles, N characterizes the strengths of the nucleophiles and s is a nucleophile-dependent slope parameter, usually close to 1. This deviation appears tolerable in view of the reactivity range extending over more than 30 orders of magnitude, the large structural variety of compounds included and the neglect of solvent and steric effects. The simultaneous treatment of aliphatic, aromatic and organometallic compounds, which becomes possible in this way, provides new qualitative insights, and it is shown how the rule of thumb that reactions proceed at 20 °C if E + N 〉 -5 can be used for rationalizing and designing organic reactions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The radical bromination of 1,1- and 1,2-diphenylethylenes in 1,2-dichloroethane was investigated on the basis of kinetic and product distribution data. Whereas the ionic process followed a third-order rate law (second order in Br2), the radical bromination was second order in Br2 and zero order in olefin in the reagent concentration range examined. Significant inverse kinetic isotope effects were found for the bromination of 3,4′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,1-diphenylethylene and cis-1,2-diphenylethylene under these conditions. At variance with the ionic bromination, which gave mixtures of meso- and d,l-dibromides only the meso-dibromides were obtained both from the cis- and trans-1,2-diphenylethylenes. The kinetic and product distribution data for the radical process are discussed in terms of a mechanism in which caged radical intermediates are formed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The products of reaction of the α-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)-4-methoxybenzyl carbocation (1+) intermediate of solvolysis of α-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)-4-methoxybenzyl benzoate esters (1-O2CAr) show a strong dependence on solvent. The only product from reaction in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) is 2-dimethylamino-6-methoxybenzothiophene (2) from intramolecular cyclization of 1+. The reaction of 1+ in 50:50 (v/v) methanol-water (I = 0.50, NaClO4) gives mainly the adducts to solvent. In 50:50 (v/v) trifluoroethanol-water (I = 0.50, NaClO4), 1+ partitions between reaction with solvent (ks, 27% yield), cyclization to form 2 (kc, 3% yield) and nucleophilic addition of 2 to 1+ (kalk, 70% yield) to form dimeric product 3. The yield of 3 in 50:50 (v/v) trifluoroethanol-water (I = 0.50, NaClO4) is independent of the leaving group at 1-O2CAr and remains constant as the concentration of the substrate is increased fourfold. These data show that the rate-determining step for dimerization of 1-O2CAr is ionization of substrate to form 1+ and that the products of the reaction are determined by the rate constant ratio for partitioning of 1+ between addition of solvent and cyclization. The rate constant ratios determined for the partitioning of 1+ in 50:50 (v/v) trifluoroethanol-water (I = 0.50, NaClO4) were ks/kc = 0.8 M-1 and kalk/ks = 540 000 M-1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Correlation analysis of the oxidation potentials of a series of N,N′,N″-triphenyl-1,3,5-triaminobenzenes (TPABs) substituted at the para positions of the outer phenyl rings shows a linear free energy relationship with resonance-enhanced substituent parameters (σ+). Reaction parameters (ρ+) for oxidation of TPABs were found to be -1.53, -1.45 and -1.34 (per substituent) in methylene chloride, acetonitrile and propylene carbonate respectively. The resonance enhancement and small magnitude of the ρ+ values are related to a significant but weak delocalization of charge onto the outer phenyl rings in the molecular orbitals of radical cations resulting from the oxidation of TPABs. Data on the oxidation of p-substituted triphenylamines were treated similarly and gave a ρ+ value of -3.27 (per substituent) in acetonitrile, greater than that for TPABs owing to a more significant delocalization of charge onto the phenyl rings in the molecular orbitals of the corresponding radical cations. To demonstrate their predictive value, these linear free energy correlations were used to estimate the oxidation potentials of similarly substituted N,N,N′,N′,N″,N″-hexaphenyl-1,3,5-triaminobenzenes, which are of interest as building blocks for molecular magnetic materials. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Rate constants have been determined in aqueous Me2SO mixtures for the reaction of super-electrophilic 4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan (DNBF) with a series of hydroxy- and methoxy-substituted benzenes whose pKa values range between -3 and -9. The study extends the reactivity range of weakly basic aromatics with DNBF, from the family of indoles previously studied with pKa values ranging from -1 to -6. The overall rate constants for the reactions of DNBF as the electrophile are at least one order of magnitude greater than for the reactions of H3O+ with the same series of aromatics. This lends further credence to the notion that DNBF possesses super-electrophilic properties. An LFER is observed between logk50%Me2SODNBF and pKaH2O with slope 0.54. In the case of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene a significant kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is observed (kH/kD = 3.71 in 50% Me2SO). This system hence affords one of the few instances in which a KIE has been observed in SEAr reactions. It follows from the observed KIE that the addition of DNBF to the aromatic is not rate-limiting and that reversion to reactants and proton loss from the arenonium intermediate occur at comparable rates. Structures of the products of electrophilic substitution have been confirmed by 1H NMR. In all cases the regiochemistry of the reactions was identical to that observed in protonation studies of the starting aromatics. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Fluorescence and UV-visible absorption spectra of HPTS (8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulphonic acid trisodium salt, pyranine) were measured in a variety of solvents. Fluorescence maxima (in kcal mol-1) can be correlated with the Kosower Z parameter (r = 0.901), the Dimroth-Reichardt ET(30) parameter (r = 0.900) and the Winstein Y parameter (r = 0.916) using one-parameter fits. Good correlations (r = 0.98) were obtained for HPTS fluorescence in ethanol-water mixtures using the Y, YOTs and Z parameters. Fluorescence maxima of HPTS in aqueous sulphuric acid solutions gave an excellent correlation with YOTs (r = 0.991). Multi-parameter correlations, indicating the significance of specific solvent interactions, were also studied. In addition, fluorescence maxima correlate well with maximum/minimum ratios obtained from UV-visible absorption experiments. Results can be applied in the use of HPTS as a molecular probe of solvent environments and for extension of the YOTs scale in acidic solutions. HPTS is a unique molecular probe, not only because of its photoacidic properties and its widespread use as a pH-sensitive biosensor, but also because of its relative stability in acidic environments. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Ab initio 6-31G* and MP2/6-31G*//6-31G* methods were used to calculate the relative energies of the rotamers in the chair conformations of 4-alkyltetrahydro-2H-thiopyrans (tetrahydrothiopyrans, thiacyclohexanes, thianes; CH3, C2H5, i-C3H7, t-C4H9, neo-C5H11, SiMe3). The MP2/6-31G*//6-31G* conformational energies (-ΔG° or A values, kcal mol-1) of the 4-alkylthiacyclohexanes (Me = 1.94; Et = 1.72; i-Pr = 1.62; t-Bu = 5.49; neo-Pent = 1.39; SiMe3 = 2.76) are similar to those calculated for the corresponding alkylcyclohexanes. Plots of the calculated conformational energies for the 4-alkylthiacyclohexanes versus the calculated conformational energies for the corresponding alkylcyclohexanes are linear (slope = 1.01 and r = 0.999 for 6-31G* and slope = 1.09 and r = 0.990 for MP2/6-31G*//6-31G*). The conformational energies are strongly influenced by the magnitude and number of repulsive nonbonded hydrogen-hydrogen interactions and the gauche (synclinal) effects in the conformers. The carbon-sulfur bond lengths are mostly in the narrow range of 1.815-1.818 Å. The C - S - C angles vary from 97.1° to 99.4° and the C(3) - C(4) - C(7) angle in the most stable axial conformer is larger that the corresponding angle in its most stable equatorial conformer. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes (polysoaps) are a unique class of water-soluble polymers containing distinct hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions. Above a certain concentration, polysoaps form intramolecular and intermolecular aggregates in aqueous solution. They have attracted much attention not only for their ability to mimic some functions demonstrated by biopolymers but also for their important industrial applications. This review highlights some interesting features of novel non-cross-linked and cross-linked poly(alkylmethyldiallylammonium halides) that have been described in recent years. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Efforts to developed detailed insights into the structure and function of the molecules of memory, thought and sensory perception - physical organic chemistry on the brain - are described. By combining more conventional chemical tools with a number of techniques adapted from modern biology, it is now possible to perform systematic structure-function studies on the integral membrane proteins that play a central role in molecular neurobiology.

    Notes: Hydrogens located at activated positions in electrophilic arenes, e.g. ortho and para hydrogens in nitrobenzenes, can be replaced with a nucleophile moiety provided there is at least one nucleofuge X connected to the nucleophilic centre. As the group really leaving in this hydrogen substitution process is not the hydride anion but X, the reaction has been named vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS). The concepts on the mechanism of the reaction and their experimental background are presented. Reactivity and orientation - the fundamental questions concerning synthetical applications of VNS - are discussed in light of the supposed mechanistic picture.

    Notes: The spectroscopic properties of two photoprobes for DNA, Ru(phen)2(PHEHAT)2+ and Ru(TAP)2(PHEHAT)2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, TAP = 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene, PHEHAT = 1,10-phenanthrolino[5,6-b]-1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene), were examined and compared with those of complexes containing either an extended planar ligand (DPPZ) or π-acceptor ligands. The orbitals involved in the absorption and emission processes for Ru(phen)2(PHEHAT)2+ imply the PHEHAT ligand, whereas the chromophore and luminophore for Ru(TAP)2(PHEHAT)2+ are associated with the Ru(II) → TAP MLCT transition. The two complexes exhibit completely different behaviour in the presence of DNA. Whereas Ru(phen)2(PHEHAT)2+, which does not emit in water, luminesces upon intercalation between the DNA base pairs, the luminescence of Ru(TAP)2(PHEHAT)2+ is quenched by binding to DNA. Emission quenching is also observed in the presence of GMP, with a quenching rate constant of 1.25 × 109 l mol-1 s-1. This strongly suggests the presence of a photo-induced electron transfer from the guanine residues of GMP or DNA to the excited complex and leads to the conclusion that this complex is a good DNA photoreagent. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The advantage of adding more structure-diagnostic information to the simple detection of flash photolytically generated transient species by changes in UV-visible light absorbance is illustrated by a case study involving the mandelic acid keto-enol system. An early report based on preliminary evidence proposed that flash photolysis of phenyldiazoacetic acid produces the enol of mandelic acid by hydration of phenylhydroxyketene, itself generated by a photo-Wolff reaction of the diazo acid. Further examination, however, shows that this is only a minor route, and that the major pathway is a new enol-forming reaction involving what appears to be hydration of a carboxycarbene formed by dediazotization of the diazo compound. Hydration of phenylhydroxyketene is nevertheless the reaction by which mandelic acid enol is generated when esters of benzoylformic acid are the flash photolysis substrates. These mechanisms, and also identification of the enol as a tranisent species, are supported by detailed arguments involving acid-base catalysis, solvent isotope effects, and the use of oxygen-18 as a tracer. The work produces a keto-enol equilibrium constant for the mandelic acid system, pKE  =  16.19, and also acidity constants of the enol ionizing as an oxygen acid, pKEa  =  6.39, and the keto isomer ionizing as a carbon acid, pKKa  =  22.57. The bearing of these results on the enzyme-catalyzed racemization of mandelic acid is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: N-Methyl-N-phenyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MPSA) and morpholinyl-tert-butylsulfenamide (MOSA) were thermolyzed in a stirred-flow reactor at temperatures of 340-390 °C and pressures of 7-13 Torr, using toluene as carrier gas, at residence times of 0.3-1.3 s. Isobutene was formed in 99% yield through first-order reactions having the following Arrhenius parameters (A,s-1, Ea, kJ mol-1): MPSA, log A  =  12.41 ± 0.02, Ea  =  158.8 ± 0.2; MOSA, log A  =  12.91 ± 0.22, Ea  =  159 ± 3. It is proposed that the elimination of isobutene takes place by unimolecular reaction mechanisms involving polar, four-center cyclic transition states, forming S-unsubstituted thiohydroxylamines as co-products. Thermochemical parameters, estimated by semiempirical AM1 calculations, are reported for the latter and for the parent molecules. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Acidities and bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the N-H bond in two phenylsulfenylamides, PhSNHBz and PhSNH-t-Bu, and four phenylsulfenylanilides, 4-GC6H4NHSPh, where G  =  MeO, H, Br and CN, were measured in order to compare the effects of substituents on acidities and BDEs of N - H bonds with those of C - H bonds. The effects of PhS groups on acidities and BDEs in a series of C - H acids were found to be comparable to those on acidities and BDEs of PhS in a similar series of N - H acids. Comparisons were also made of the effects of changing the oxidation state of sulfur in the series PhS, PhSO and PhSO2 on the acidities and BDEs of adjacent N - H and C - H bonds in weak acids. Hammett-type plots of pKHA values for phenyl benzyl sulfones (4-GC6H4CH2SO2Ph) and phenylsulfenylanilides (4-GC6H4NHSPh) were linear vs σp- values. A linear plot was obtained and explained for a plot of BDE of the N - H bonds in remotely substituted phenylsulfonylanilides with σ+ values. Plots of BDEs vs Eox(A-) were also linear for 4-substituted phenylsulfenylanilides (4-GC6H4NHSPh), phenylsulfonylanilides (4-GC6H4NHSO2Ph) and phenyl benzyl sulfones (4-GC6H4CH2SO2Ph). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The prototropic tautomerism of 8-azaadenine (azaade) was studied theoretically by means of ab initio methods, in both the gas phase and aqueous solution. A number of tautomeric forms were not included in the calculations after applying a stepwise elimination procedure based on both AM1 and HF/6-31G* energy values. The tautomers 9H-azaade, 8H-azaade and 7H-azaade survived to this elimination and their optimized geometries and energies were calculated at the MP2/6-31*//HF/6-31G* level. To include the solvent effects, two self-consistent reaction field method were used: (1) Onsager's SCRF with multipolar expansion up to the hexadecapolar term and (2) the isodensity polarizable continuum method (IPCM). Both methods produce similar results, although the latter represents better the situation in aqueous solution. The stability order in solution, 8H- 〉 9H- 〉 7H-azaade, differs slightly from that found in the gas phase, implying that in general the electrostatic effects in solution are important, but the intrinsic stability of these species in the gas phase overcomes the solvent effect. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography [LiChrosorb RP-18,UV detection at 254 nm and acetonitrile-water (86:14,v/v) as mobile phase] was applied to studies of the host-guest complexation of tetraalkylcalix[4]resorcinareneoctols and their upper rim phosphoryl, sulfonyl and dialkylaminomethyl derivatives with some aromatic guests in the mobile phase. It was shown that the formation of the inclusion complexes results in changes in the retention of aromatic guests and improves their separation. Stability constants of the complexes were calculated from the dependences of the l/k′ values of the aromatic guest on the concentration of the calix[4]resorcinarene in the mobile phase. The molecular structure of 4,6,16,18-tetrahydroxy-10,12,22,24-tetrakis(dipropoxyphosphoryloxy)-2,8,14,20-tetramethylcalix[4]resorcinarene (12) was determined.

    Notes: Rate coefficients were measured for the base-catalysed hydrolysis of a series of substituted 3-(phenoxy- or thiophenoxymethylene)-(Z)-1(3H)-isobenzfuranones (3-phenoxy- or thiophenoxymethylenephthalides) in 70% (v/v) aqueous dioxane at 30.0 °C, in addition to the carbonyl stretching frequencies in chloroform and tetrachloromethane following deconvolution and band separation, when required. The Hammett reaction constants for the alkaline hydrolysis of the 3-/4-substituted phenoxy and thiophenoxy series are ca 0.75 and 1.10, respectively. These results are related to electrostatic field and resonance effects. Successful correlations between the carbonyl stretching frequencies and substituent constants and the rates of alkaline hydrolysis were found. Computational studies using the semi-empirical AM1 method correctly model both the details of the mechanistic pathway and the substituent effects. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A new model of the inductive effect is proposed, allowing highly accurate theoretical calculations of inductive constants for a diversity of substituents, using a simple and readily available system of mathematics. According to this approach, the inductive effect of a substituent is considered in terms of the additive influence of its constituent atoms. A constant inherent capacity for inductive interaction with a reactive center (with a four-coordinate carbon atom chosen for such a center), represented by an atomic constant σA, is ascribed to each atom. Values of σA for a wide variety of atoms are determined, and their physical meaning is revealed to elucidate to a certain extent the physical nature of the inductive effect. In addition, the proposed model permits the convenient use in calculations of group constants σG characterizing the inductive power of groups. Values of σG are determined for molecular fragments that are most widely dealt with in organic chemistry, and the use of σA or σG constants and of their superposition is shown to have, in most cases, little or no effect on the accuracy and reproducibility of the results obtained. It is also shown that, in terms of the developed approach, the inductive effect of a substituent is closely associated with its conformation. Theoretical inductive constants were calculated for 427 organic, aromatic, organometallic and charged substituents, and they showed perfect correlation with the corresponding experimental values. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The kinetics of the oxidation of mandelic acid (MA) by permanganate in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 were studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction shows first-order kinetics in [permanganate ion] and fractional order dependences in [MA] and [alkali]. Addition of products, manganate and aldehyde have no significant effect on the reaction rate. An increase in ionic strength and a decrease in dielectric constant of the medium increase the rate. The oxidation process in alkaline medium under the conditions employed in the present investigation proceeds first by formation of an alkali permanganate complex, which combines with mandelic acid to form another complex. The latter decomposes slowly followed by a fast reaction between the free radical of mandelic acid and another molecule of permanganate to give products. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were derived. There is good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants under different experimental conditions. The reaction was studied at different temperatures and activation parameters were computed with respect to the slow step of the proposed mechanism. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An improved Yukawa-Tsuno equation was obtained by inserting the resonance demand parameter r in the tetralinear extension of the Hammett equation constrained by a hyperbolic relation between meta and para substituent effects. The new equation with five adjustable parameters and other Yukawa-Tsuno models were applied to selected literature data for the ionization equilibria of 21 meta- and 20 para-substituted pyridinium ions in water at 25 °C. The data are best described by the new equation using either the sigma-benzoic acid scale with r = 1.35 ± 0.16 or a truncated sigma-plus scale (in which sigma-zero constants are assigned to 4-alkyl substituents) with r = 0.29 ± 0.04. Standard errors were estimated by Monte Carlo simulation. The results for the pyridinium ion demonstrate that the hyperconjugative effect by alkyl groups is inoperative and that through-resonance effects by electron-donating substituents are considerably hindered. The origin of this hindrance is ascribed to the particularities of nitrogen orbitals in heteroaromatic compounds. It is concluded that the pyridine reactivity lies between those of benzoic acid and benzylic cation, being much closer to the former. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The cerium(IV) oxidation of isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol isopropyl alcohol, and secondary butanol catalysed by chromium(III) was studied in sulphuric and perchloric acid mixture at 30 °C. The reaction was found to proceed with the formation of a chromium(IV) intermediate followed by its complexation with alcohol. The complex thus formed decomposed into an aldehyde or ketone by a two-electron hydride ion transfer. The formation constants for complexes were determined from Michaelis-Menten plots. The accelerating effect of [H+] on the reaction is attributed to the formation of active species, HCe(SO4)3- and HAlcohol+, of the oxidant and alcohol, respectively. The activation parameters were also determined and an isokinetic plot was found to be linear. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The reaction of phenyllithium (PhLi) with E-cinnamaldehyde (1) has been fully examined. Besides the main product E-1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-ol (2), three other by-products were detected: E-cinnamyl alcohol (3), E-chalcone (4) and E-1,3-diphenylpropanone (5). The effect of several variables on the nature and relative yields of products was examined. In all the solvents studied, the selectivity of the reaction was higher at higher temperatures, probably owing to aggregation effects; at lower temperatures the reaction is slower and the amount of by-products increases. The addition is complete in 1 h at 0 °C in THF for a [PhLi]:[1] ratio of 1:1, and longer reaction times have almost no effect, while for the reaction in toluene the amount of by-products increases when the reaction mixture is allowed to stand. The concentration of the reagents has no important effect on the reaction as long as the ratio is kept equal to 1:1. The influence of light was examined and a marked decrease in the selectivity of the reaction was observed. When the reaction was carried out in the presence of radical traps, no by-products were detected. Finally, for a [PhLi]:[1] ratio of 3:1 the main product is the dihydrochalcone 5, especially for long reaction times. All the above results could be interpreted in a reaction scheme involving electron transfer from PhLi to 1, and further reaction of the radical ions formed as well as reaction of dimeric PhLi without previous deaggregation when the ratio is 3:1.­© 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Molecular and biomolecular optobioelectronic systems that yield the amperometric transduction of recorded optical signals are described. Phenoxynaphthacene quinone is assembled as a monolayer on an Au electrode. Photoisomerization of the monolayer between the redox-active trans-quinone state and the redox-inactive ‘ana’-quinone state provides a means to transduce electrochemically optical signals recorded by the monolayer. Coupling of the redox-active trans-quinone monolayer electrode to the secondary reduction of N,N′-dibenzyl-4,4′-bipyridinium, BV2+, provides a means to amplify the transduced current. As the redox potential of the trans-quinone monolayer is pH dependent, the electrocatalyzed monolayer-mediated reduction of BV2+ is controlled by light and the pH. The system represents an ‘AND’ gated molecular electronic assembly. A thiol nitrospiropyran monolayer was assembled on an Au electrode. The functionalized electrode acts as photo-triggered ‘command interface’ that controls the electrooxidation of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DPAA). The electrical properties of the monolayer are controlled by the photoisomer state of the monolayer and the pH of the medium. The monolayer in the nitromerocyanine state exists at pH 9.2 and 7.0 in zwitterionic or positively charged states, respectively. Electrooxidation of the negatively charged substrate, DPPA, is enhanced only in the presence of the protonated nitromerocyanine monolayer electrode. This permits the gated oxidation of the substrate by two complementary triggering signals, light and pH. A mixed monolayer consisting of nitrospiropyran and thiolpyridine units assembled on an Au electrode is applied as a photoisomerizable command surface for controlling the electrical contact of cytochrome c (Cyt c) with the electrode. In the nitrospiropyran-pyridine configuration electrical contact of Cyt c and the electrode is attained by the association of Cyt c to pyridine promoter sites. Photoisomerization of the monolayer to the protonated nitromerocyanine state results in the electrostatic repulsion of Cyt c from the monolayer, and the electrical contact of Cyt c with the electrode is blocked. Coupling of the electrically contacted Cyt c and nitrospiropyran-pyridine monolayer electrode configuration to the cytochrome oxidase biocatalyzed reduction of oxygen provides a means to amplify the transduced amperometric response. The photostimulated association and dissociation of Cyt c to and from the photoisomerizable monolayer were confirmed by microgravimetric, quartz crystal microbalance analyses. The system mimics the function of the native vision process. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The molecular mechanism for the pyrrole ring expansion to yield 3-chloropyridine, as a model of the abnormal Reimer-Tiemann rearrangement, was characterized theoretically in vacuo by means of the HF/6-31G* computational method. The electron correlation was estimated at the MP2/6-31G* level and by calculations based on density functional theory, B3LYP/6- 31G* and B3LYP/6- 31+G*. Solvent effects of the diethyl ether and ethanol media were analyzed by using a polarizable continuum model. The stationary points were characterized with analytical gradient techniques in the gas phase and insolvents. The topology of the potential energy surfaces calculated at the MP2/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* levels shows that the molecular mechanism corresponds to an inverted energy profile along one intermediate, associated with the addition of dichlorocarbene at the β-position of the pyrrole anion, and only one transition structure related to the ring expansion associated with the breaking and forming of Cα - Cβ and C - Cα bonds, respectively, and the Cl- leaving process. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Lanthanide ion-induced hydrolyses of methyl esters, ethyl esters, and amides of α-amino acids were systematically studied. In the hydrolysis of the alkyl esters, all the lanthanide ions are effective and the catalytic activities decrease in the order Ce(III), Nd(III) 〉 Sm(III) 〉 Eu(III) 〉 Gd(III), Ce(IV) 〉 Pr(III) 〉 Dy(III), Tb(III), Er(III), Ho(III), Tm(III) 〉 La(III), Lu(III), Yb(III). For the hydrolysis of the amides, however, the Ce(IV) ion is overwhelmingly more active than other lanthanide(III) and non-lanthanide ions. The results are interpreted in terms of the difference in the rate-limiting step for these two reactions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Density and sound velocity data for aqueous solutions at 298.2 K containing alkyltrimethylammonium bromides and sodium alkylsulphates were analysed to yield partial molar volumes and isentropic compressions. The calculated contributions of methylene groups to the properties of alkyltrimethylammonium cations and alkylsulphate anions show no dependence on position in the alkyl chains and a common contribution to the ionic partial molar volumes over the range methyl ≤ n-octyl for the sulphates and n-propyl ≤ n-hexyl for the alkyltrimethylammonium ions. However, a switch in head group from trimethylammonium to sulphate changes the contribution of methylene groups to estimated partial molar isentropic compressibilities. The reasons for this sensitivity are discussed in terms of hydration characteristics. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Solvolysis products of 3-azetidinyl chlorides, tosylates, and mesylates have been interpreted previously to indicate that these reactions proceed by azabicyclo[1.1.0]butyl cationic intermediates. Whether these cations are formed by direct ionization to 3-azetidinyl cations followed by collapse to the bicyclic ion or are formed with anchimeric assistance by the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is unclear. This investigation was initiated to assess the relative stability of these bicyclic cations and their isomeric 3-azetidinyl and aziridinylmethyl cations. All ab initio methods investigated suggest that the bicyclic ions (1) are much more stable than the corresponding 3-azetidinyl cations (3) and that transition states for conversion of the bicyclic ions to azetidinyl carbocations are not acheivable from the bicyclic ions. Hartree-Fock ab initio calculations on N-methyl (and N,2-dimethyl) bicyclic ions and their isomeric aziridinylmethyl cations (2) indicate that the bicyclic ions are significantly more stable than are the isomeric partially ring-opened cations, and that transition states (4) for conversion of the bicyclic ions to the corresponding aziridinylmethyl carbocations are probably energetically unattainable. Hartree-Fock theory predicts that the N-methyl-2-phenylbicyclic ions are slightly less stable than the resulting aziridinylmethyl cations. Calculations which include electron correlation (MP2) indicate, however, that all bicyclic ions investigated are more stable than any of their isomeric carbocations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Kinetic and equilibrium results are reported for the reactions of sulphite with the ethyl and phenyl ethers of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol and 2,4,6-trinitrothiophenol in 80/20 (v/v) water/DMSO. In each case 1:1 and 1:2 adducts are observed by reaction of sulphite at one or two unsubstituted ring positions respectively. In the case of the ethyl derivatives these adducts are long-lived however, the phenyl derivatives rapidly yield 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonate, the substitution product. This difference is attributed to a change in the nature of the rate-determining step, from nucleophilic attack with the phenyl derivatives to leaving group departure with the alkyl derivatives. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Compounds similar in structure to reactants, intermediates and products of the aldolase-catalysed reaction were synthesized and their affinities for the enzyme determined. The best situations were found with β-dicarbonyl phosphorylated compounds which are a good mimics of the incoming groups in the bond-forming process; the corresponding binding is characterized by slow-binding inhibition type, the inhibitors forming stabilized iminium ions and enamines with the enzyme; similar effects were obtained with an aromatic aldehyde, also capable of forming a stabilized iminium ion. The use of aldolase mutants allows one to characterize the lysyl group involved in the process and also to suggest a proton transfer mechanism for the iminium ion formation with the enzyme natural substrate. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra of 4-formylcyclohexene in 50% CF2Cl2-50% CHF2Cl decoalesce at very low temperatures and, at 108 K, have sharpened into a major (77%) and a minor (23%) subspectrum. Based on the NMR spectra and molecular mechanics calculations, the major subspectrum is assigned to a family of equatorial conformations and the minor subspectrum to a family of axial conformations. The free energy of activation for conversion of the equatorial conformations to the axial forms is 5.6 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal  =  4.184 kJ) at 117 K. Within a family of conformations, interconversion occurs rapidly at 108 K via formyl group rotation. The conformational preference in 4-formylcyclohexene is solvent dependent. In 50% CF2Cl2-50% CHF2Cl, CHF2Cl and CF2Cl2, the respective ratios of equatorial to axial conformations are 77:23, 77:23, and 89:11 at 108 K. The 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra of 4-methylcyclohexene and 4-vinylcyclohexene in 50% CF2Cl2-50% CHF2Cl show no evidence of decoalescence at very low temperatures but do show differential broadening and subsequent sharpening of various resonances characteristic of exchange between strongly dominant equatorial conformations and axial conformations present at too low a concentration to be detectable by NMR. A lower limit on the free energy preference for the equatorial conformations is estimated to be 1.0 kcal mol-1. Molecular mechanics calculations also predict a stronger preference for equatorial conformations in 4-methylcyclohexene and 4-vinylcyclohexene than in 4-formylcyclohexene. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Enhanced rates of solvolysis have been reported for some isodrin derivatives, e.g. compounds 2, 3, 6 and 7 compared with anti-7-norbornene (1). The effect has been ascribed to the formation of laticyclic (2 + 2 + 0) π-delocalization on a carbocation such as 5. However, comparable rates of solvolysis were also observed for analogous monoenes 4, 8, 9 and 12, where no adequate explanation has been provided. Molecular modeling at both semiempirical and ab initio levels shows a good correlation between the stabilization energy of the cations and their kinetic data. The enhanced rate of solvolysis for 4, 8, 9 and 12 can be rationalized by strong effects of σ-bond participation in the transition state. For both series of compounds, the stabilization effect can be effectively transmitted either through space or through bonds. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A simple model for the energy surface of a reacting system permits the calculation of the free energies of activation. A chemical reaction is analyzed in terms of the simple processes (bond making/breaking or atom transfer; geometry changes) which must take place to achieve the overall transformation. When only one (or two, or three, …) of these processes has progressed to the full extent required for reaction, one has a ‘corner intermediate.’ The reaction diagram is viewed as a square (2D) or cube (3D) or hypercube (4D), etc., and energies at intermediate points on the energy surface or hypersurface are calculated by interpolation. Suitable equations have been obtained for this purpose. Along any section parallel to an axis the energy is given by an upward opening parabola centered at the lower energy end. This paper deals with the application of these ideas to proton transfer reactions involving carbon acids. For mono- or dicarbonyl compounds, with pKas ranging from 7 to 25.6, and rate constants for water or hydroxide ranging from 10-9.3 to 104.6, rate constants can be predicted with an r.m.s. error in log k of 0.99 for 51 reactions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Aspartate aminotransferase (AATase) and aminocyclopropane carboxylate synthase (ACC synthase) are pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes whose common junction of mechanistic divergence is after the formation of a Cα carbanion from the amino acid substrate bound to PLP as a Schiff base (aldimine). AATase catalyzes the reversible interconversion of α-amino acids and α-keto acids, while ACC synthase effects the irreversible decomposition of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) and 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA). ACC is subsequently converted to ethylene, the plant ripening and senescence hormone, by ACC oxidase, the next enzyme in the pathway. AATase and ACC synthase exhibit many similar phenomenological characteristics that result from different detailed mechanistic origins. The kcat/KM versus pH profiles for both enzymes are similar (AATase, acidic pKa = 6.9, basic pKa = 9.6; ACC synthase, acidic pKa = 7.5, basic pKa = 8.9); however the acidic pKa of AATase reflects the ionization of an enzyme proton from the internal Schiff base, and the basic one is that of the α-amino group of the substrate, while the opposite situation obtains for ACC synthase, i.e. the apparent pKa of 7.4 is due to the α-amino group of SAM, whereas that of 9 reflects the Schiff base pKa. The mechanistic imperative underlying this reversal is dictated by the reaction mechanism and the low pKa of the α-amino group of SAM. The low pKa of SAM requires that the enzyme pKa be moved upward in order to have sufficient quantities of the reacting species at neutral pH. It is shown by viscosity variation experiments with wild-type and active site mutant controls of both enzymes that the reaction of SAM with ACC synthase is 100% diffusion controlled (kcat/KM = 1.2 × 106 l mol-1 s-1) while the corresponding reaction for the combination of L-aspartate with AATase is insensitive to viscosity, and is therefore chemically not diffusion limited. Tyr225 (AATase) or Tyr233 (ACC synthase) forms a hydrogen bond with the PLP in both enzymes, but that formed with the former enzyme is stronger and accounts for the lower pKa of the Schiff base. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The transition states of thermally allowed pericyclic reactions are aromatic. They not only have highly delocalized structures and large resonance stabilizations (energies of concert), but also strongly enhanced magnetic susceptibilities (Λ) and appreciable NICS (nucleus-independent chemical shifts) values arising from the diatropic ring currents. Aromaticity is the consequence of cyclic electron delocalization, which can have σ and hybrid, and not just π character. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: IR spectroscopy has transformed the study of mechanistic organometallic chemistry. Reaction intermediates can now be detected and characterized; their kinetics can be measured and their behaviour understood. However, the field is not static. New techniques are still being developed. We focus here on hydrogenation and related reactions describing (i) a miniature low-temperature/high-pressure cell, which allows photochemical reactions to be studied under high pressures of gases, (ii) the use of flow reactors for continuous reactions in supercritical fluids, including hydrogenation of organic compounds, and (iii) the use of supercritical fluid solutions for studying weak metal-ligand interactions by nanosecond time-resolved IR spectroscopy (TRIR) and the application of TRIR to the detection of intermediates in organic reactions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
