A comparative study on the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride and N,N-dimethylformamide: Kinetic isotope effect, transition-state structure, polarity, and solvent effect

Abstract: Recent studies have shown that general-base assisted catalysis is a viable mechanistic pathway for hydrolysis of smaller anhydrides. Therefore, it is the central purpose of the present work to compare and contrast the number of hydrogen atoms in-flight and stationary in the transition state structure of the base-catalyzed mechanisms of 2 hydrolytic reactions as well as determine if any solvent effects occur on the mechanisms. The present research focuses on the hydrolytic mechanisms of N,Ndimethylformamide (DM… Show more

“…However, it should not be forgotten that DMF is far from being an inert solvent [90]. Its hydrolysis reaction has been studied in detail [91,92] and DMF has even been used as a drying agent [93]! Clearly, this would not be an acceptable procedure for an industrial production and a different strategy must be pursued to reach complete conversion.…”

“…This causes an increase in the viscosity due to hydrogen bonding between the protonated carboxylic acid functions, limiting access of MA to the hydroxyl groups thus leading to lower DM. At TEA/MA ≥ 2 eq, TEA catalyzes the hydrolysis of the anhydride compared to nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction, favoring the formation of methacrylic acid rather than grafting on the alginate backbone and resulting in lower DM . In addition, a large excess of MA is used to achieve a higher DM.…”

“…At TEA/MA ≥ 2 eq, TEA catalyzes the hydrolysis of the anhydride compared to nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction, favoring the formation of methacrylic acid rather than grafting on the alginate backbone and resulting in lower DM. 23 In addition, a large excess of MA is used to achieve a higher DM. A logarithmic increase is observed until a plateau is achieved due to the steric hindrance caused by the grafted methacrylic moieties.…”

“…Their report was followed by others, where triphenylimidazole‐derived esters and related compounds, such as acid chlorides and amides, were applied as FL or CL probes, being of special interest for enzyme activity determination and drug‐binding site characterization . The fact that 1 and 2 are both markedly fluorescent make them promising for studying ester decomposition pathways, especially using spectroscopic methods . In order to avoid the need of using chromatographic separation and quantification techniques, we have explored the FL emission of both reactant and product to study the decomposition of 1 in basic alcoholic media.…”
