The kinetics of the degradation of N-amino-3-azabicyclo[3,3, Oloctane by chloramine has been studied by GC and HPLC in stoichiometric conditions in a solution buffered with NaOH/KHaP04 and NaaB407.10 H2O between pH = 10.5 and 13.5. The second-order reaction exhibits specific acid catalysis which indicates competitive oxidation between the haloamine and the neutral and ionic forms of the bicyclic hydrazine. The enthalpy and entropy of activation were determined a t pH = 12.89.In a nonbuffered solution, the interaction is autocatalyzed due to acidification of the mixture by the ammonium ions. In basic medium, the reaction forms a n endocyclic hydrazone. A mathematical treatment based on an implicit equation allows a quantitative interpretation of all the phenomena observed over the above pH interval. This takes both the acid/base dissociation equilibria and the alkaline hydrolysis of the chloro-derivative into account. 0 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Ine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
