The rates of hydrolysis of aryl phenylacetates have been measured in the presence of piperidine in 80% acetonitrile-20% water(v/v). For the electron withdrawing substituents of leaving group, the hydrolysis is catalyzed by a general base and the Hammett $\rho_{LG}$ and Bronsted value $\beta$ are 5.28 and -2.72 at $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. These high senstivities of Hammett and Bronsted values are $E1_{C}B$ mechanism. But in the electron donating ones, the hydrolysis is catalyzed by a specific base and $B_{AC}2 mechanism is predominated. $pK_{SH}'s of phenylacetic acid ester and rate constants of hydrolysis $k_1$, $k_{-1)$, $k_2$ were calculated.

Rate constants for the hydrolysis of cinnamonitrile in the concentration range of 1 ∼ 5M of perchloric acid at 25$^{\circ}$C have been determined by UV spectrophotometry and from the Bunnett equations, hydration parameters (${\omega}$ = 9.8, ${\omega}^*$ = 0.42 & ${\phi}$=1.6) were obtained. CNDO/2 MO calculations were performed to determine relative stability, net charges, and overlap population of various conformational isomers. The results show that the (E)-planar is more stable than the (Z)-planar and protonation is favored on the nitrogen atom. On the basis of above findings, the acid hydrolysis is initiated by the protonation of the nitrogen atom of cinnamonitrile and then water molecule acting as nucleophile and as a proton transfer agent in the rate determining step. In the transition state of the acid hydrolysis, nucleophilic addition of water molecule occurs by sigma approach to the positively charged $C_7({\alpha}$) atom of the conjugate acid. As the results, we may conclude that the hydrolysis of cinnamonitrile in the strong acidic media proceeds through the A-2 type mechanism.

Diazidophenylmethane derivatives(X: p-H, $p-OCH_3,\;p-F,\;p-CH_3$) were synthesized and the rate constants of hydrolysis of diazidophenylmethane derivatives were determined by UV spectrophotometry in 50:50(v/v) aqueous methanol at 25$^{\circ}C$. On the basis of rate equation, substituent effect, activation parameters, solvent effect, salt effect, and product analysis, it may be concluded that the hydrolysis of diazidophenylmethane derivatives proceed through $S_N2_CA$ mechanism below pH 2.0, while above pH 12.0 through $S_N2$ mechanism, and in the range of pH from 2 to 12 through $S_N1$ mechanism respectively.

Neutral salts have negative or positive effects on the rates of many chemical reactions and also on the rates of acidic and alkaline hydrolysis of carboxylic esters. The direction of neutral salt effects on the hydrolysis of ester depends on the charge of esters. Neutral salts accelerate alkaline hydrolysis of esters with negative charge, but decelerate alkaline hydrolysis of esters with positive charge, and have little effect on the alkaline hydrolysis of neutral esters. It is expected that the rate of the alkaline hydrolysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalte) (PET), polymeric solid carboxylic polyester with carboxyl end group at the polymer end, is also influenced positively by neutral salts. In the present work, to clarify the mechanism of the neutral salt effect on the alkaline hydrolysis of PET, many salts with different anions like NaF, NACl, NaBr, NaI were added to the aqueous alkaline solutions. Then PET was hydrolyzed with aqueous solutions of many salts in alkali metal hydroxides under various conditions. Some conclusions obtained from the experimental results were summarized as follows. The reaction rate of the alkaline hydrolysis of PET was increased by the addition of neutral salts and In k was increased nearly linearly with the square root of ionic strength of reaction medium. This fact suggested that the ionic strength effect by Debye-Huckel and Bronsted theory was exerted on the reaction. The specific salt effect was also observed. The reaction rate was increased with the decrease in the nucleophilicity of anions of neutral salts, i.e., in the order of $F^-$ <$Cl^-$<$Br^-$<$I^-$. It was thought that the reaction rate was increased in the order of $F^-$ <$Cl^-$<$Br^-$<$I^-$. because the completion of anions with $OH^-$ for carbonyl carbon became weaker with the decrease in the nucleophilicity and with the increase in the size of anions.

The hydrolysis rate of insecticidal buprofezin(IUPAC : tert-butylimino-3-isopropyl-5-phenylperhydro-1,3,5-thiadiazin-4-one) in the range of pH 2.0 and 12.0 have been examined in 15%(v/v) aqueous dioxane at $45^{\circ}C$. The hydrolysis mechanism of buprofezin is proposed from the pH-effect, solvent effect(${\ell}{\gg}m$), thermodynamic parameter(${\Delta}H^{\neq}$=11.12 $Kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ &, ${\Delta}S^{\neq}=5.0e.u.$), rate equation and hydrolysis product, l-isopropyl-3-phenyl urea. General acid catalyzed hydrolysis and specific acid catalyzed($k_{H3O+}$) hydrolysis through $A-S_{E}2$ and A-2(or $A_{AC}2$) reaction mechanism with orbital-control reaction proceed below pH 8.0 and above pH 9.0, the nucleophilic addition-elimination, $Ad_{N}-E$ mechanism via tetrahedral($sp^{3}$) intermediate is initiation by general base catalyzed($k_{H2O}$) reaction. Buprofezin was more stable in alkaline ($k=10^{-8}sec.^{-1}$) than acid solutions from the sigmoid pH-rate profile. And the half-life($t=\frac{1}{2}$) of hydrolysis reaction in neutral aqueous solution(pH 7.0) at $45^{\circ}C$ was about 3 months.

Urea is detected as an indicator of renal disease in the human body. For these reasons, many biosensors for urea have been developed based on the enzymatic reaction of urea hydrolysis catalyzed by urease. Potentiometric method is applied reversible reaction system. But urea hydrolysis reaction may not has a reversible reaction mechanism in electrode surface. Therefore we applied to voltammtricmethod to obtain a sensitivity curve. The sensitivity of sensors was 34 ${\mu}$A/decade.

The kinetic of hydrolysis for cinnamylidene aniline derivatives has been investigated by ultraviolet spectrophotometry in 20% (v/v) dioxane - $H_2O$ at $25^{\circ}C$. A rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. The substituent effects on cinnamylidene aniline derivatives were studied and the hydrolysis was facilitated by electron attracting group. Final products of the hydrolysis were cinnamaldehyde and aniline. From the rate equation, substituent effect and final products, the hydrolysis of cinnamylidene aniline derivatives was initiated by the neutral molecule of $H_2O$ which does not dissociate at below pH 9.0${\sim}$12.0, but proceeded by the hydrogen ion at above pH 5.0${\sim}$9.0.

Solvolyses of methanesulfonyl chloride (CH3SO2Cl) in water and methanol have been studied theoretically using ab initio self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) molecular orbital method. All stationary structures including transition state on the potential energy surface in solution have been found and compared with the gas phase structures. The overall reaction occurs via a concerted SN2 mechanism with a non-cyclic trigonal bipyramidal transition state, and the activation barrier is lowered significantly in solution. The transition state for the hydrolysis reaction is looser than that for the methanolysis reaction, and this is in accord with the experimental findings that an SN2 type mechanism, which is shifted toward an SN1 process or an SAN process in the hydrolysis and alcoholysis reaction, respectively, takes place. The catalytic role of additional solvent molecules appears to be a purely general-base catalysis based on the linear transition structures. Experimental barrier can be estimated by taking into account the desolvation energy of nucleophile in the reaction of methanesulfonyl chloride with bulk solvent cluster as a nucleophile.

Catalytic iminohydroacylation has been achieved by the reaction of aldimine 1 and 1,5-hexadiene (2a) with Wilkinson's complex as catalyst. Compounds 7a, 8a and 9a were obtained as final product after hydrolysis of the resulting iminohydroacylation products 4a, 5a and 6a. Depending on the reactant ratio (2/1), the ratio of products were changed dramatically : As the 2/1 ratio was increased, 7a is the major product after hydrolysis while 8a is the major with an 1/1 ratio of 2/1. The mechanism of the formation of 5a is determined by the reaction of 1 and 2b under the identical reaction conditions. Considering that 5a may not be formed from the hydroiminoacylation of 14a since 5b cannot be formed from that of conjugate diene 14b generated from isomerization of 2b, 5a must be formed from the reaction of 4a and 10 by addition-elimination mechanism.
