Abstract
The hydrolysis reaction (Chemical Equation Presented) has been studied. For R = CN, kh = 1050 ± 60 M-1 s-1, ΔH‡ = 13.6 ± 0.5 kcal mol-1, ΔS‡ = 1.0 ± 2 eu at 25°C, and I = 1.0 M (LiClO4). For R = CONH2, kh = (5.8 ± 0.5) × 106 M-1 s-1, ΔH‡ = 21.3 ± 0.5 kcal mol-1, ΔS‡ = 44 ± 2 eu at 25°C, and I = 1.0 M (LiClO4). The unusual kinetic parameters for the latter complex are attributed to neighboring-group participation by the amide group.
