Authors: E. Hayon, T. Ibata, N. N. Lichtin, M. Simic The reactivity and sites of attack of hydroxyl radicals on simple amides in aqueous solution were studied. The following amides were examined: formamide (F), N-methylformamide (NMF), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetamide (A), N-methylacetamide (NMA), and , -dimethylacetamide (DMA). The rate constants for reaction of OH radical with NMF, DMF, NMA, and DMA…
Authors: P. S. Rao, M. Simic, E. Hayon The reaction rate constants of e-/sub aq/ and OH radicals with imidazole (ImH), N-methylimidazole (MeIm), histidine, and N-methylhistidine were determined. The k(e-/sub aq/ + S) values were strongly dependent on the state of protonation of the ”pyridine” nitrogen in these molecules, with rates of approximately 5 x 109 M-1 sec-1 at pH…
Authors: I.G. Draganić, Z. D. Draganić, V. M. Marković Fast kinetic spectrophotometry was used to study the absorption spectra of short-living intermediates produced by reactions of RCN molecules with H, e aq- and OH. The spectra were obtained on the microsecond time scale after an electron pulse from a Febetron 707 accelerator in aqueous solutions of the following compounds: hydrocyanic…
