996. Kinetics of hydration of aliphatic aldehydes

Abstract: Catalytic constants for the hydrogen ion in the acid-catalysed hydration of aliphatic aldehydes have been found to be almost constant in a homologous series. Anomalies in the observed kinetics of the base-catalysed hydrations have been traced to the formation of appreciable quantities of addition compounds between the aldehydes and the catalysing bases. Evidence is presented for the existence of such compounds.

“…Since the carbonyl form of an aldehyde is more volatile than the gem -diol, it is reasonable to expect that most of an aldehyde sample reaching the nose through the air will initially be in the carbonyl form. Aldehydes undergo rapid acid- 25 and base- 44 catalyzed hydration, but at the slightly acidic pH of the nasal epithelium, 45 the uncatalyzed rate of hydration is expected to be slow ( k ≈ 3.5 × 10 –3 s –1 , t 1/2 = 3.3 min). 25 Although some gem -diol will have formed within the time it takes to perceive an aldehyde, without catalysis the equilibrium concentration will not be achieved within that time.…”

“…Values for D-glyceraldehyde (Angyal & Wheen, 1980) and other aldehydes and ketones (Lewis & Wolfenden, 1977) have been obtained by similar NMR techniques. To obtain the equilibrium constant in H20, the [hydrate]/[aldehyde] ratio in D 2 0 was multiplied by 0.84 to correct for the solvent deuterium isotope effect on the hydration equilibrium (Gruen & McTigue, 1963); the results are reported in Table I. l80 Transfer from Hydrate to Phosphate. In these experiments, the enzymatic ATPase activity competes with the nonenzymatic washout of l 8 0 from the aldehyde and hydrate.…”

“…Table 2 gives the most probable data for K hy = [hydrate]/[aldehyde] available in the literature. [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] Hydration in acidic solution is rapid compared with oxidation (k H = 500-800 dm 3 mol Ϫ 1 s Ϫ 1 for acetaldehyde 31,32,36,38,41 and 450-490 dm 3 mol Ϫ 1 s Ϫ 1 for propionaldehyde 32,36,41 ), i.e. the kinetic equation does not show whether the aldehyde or the hydrate is the reactive form.…”

“…For K hy we applied literature data [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] (given in Table 2); k 0 is the rate constant measured in neutral media, and therefore the two-parameter fitting of…”
