Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetramethoxyethene in aqueous solution. Initial state stabilization by the methoxy groups

Abstract: The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetrarnethoxyethene to methyl dirnethoxyacetate in aqueous solution at 25OC was found to occur with the hydronium-ion catalytic coefficient kH+ = 0.454 M-' s-I, to give the solvent isotope effect k H -/ k D -= 3.15, and to provide a Bronsted relation based upon six carboxylic acids with the exponent a = 0.42. These data indicate that the reaction proceeds via rate-determining proton transfer from the catalyzing acid to an olefinic carbon atom of the substrate. They also show te… Show more
