The nucleophilic substitution reactions of ethylene phosphorochloridate (1c) with substituted anilines ($XC_6H_4NH_2$) and deuterated anilines ($XC_6H_4ND_2$) are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at $5.0^{\circ}C$. The anilinolysis rate of 1c involving a cyclic five-membered ring is four thousand times faster than its acyclic counterpart (1a: diethyl chlorophosphate) because of great positive value of the entropy of activation of 1c (${\Delta}S^{\neq}=+30\;cal\;mol^{-1}K^{-1}$ compared to negative value of 1a (${\Delta}S^{\neq}=-45\;cal\;mol^{-1}K^{-1}$) over considerably unfavorable enthalpy of activation of 1c (${\Delta}H^{\neq}=27.7\;kcal\;mol^{-1}$) compared to 1a (${\Delta}H^{\neq}=8.3\;kcal\;mol^{-1}$). Great enthalpy and positive entropy of activation are ascribed to sterically congested transition state (TS) and solvent structure breaking in the TS. The free energy correlations exhibit biphasic concave upwards for substituent X variations in the X-anilines with a break point at X = 3-Me. The deuterium kinetic isotope effects are secondary inverse ($k_H/k_D$ < 1) with the strongly basic anilines and primary normal ($k_H/k_D$ > 1) with the weakly basic anilines and rationalized by the TS variation from a dominant backside attack to a dominant frontside attack, respectively. A concerted $S_N2$ mechanism is proposed and the primary normal deuterium kinetic isotope effects are substantiated by a hydrogen bonded, four-center-type TS.

The dissociation constants of ${\beta}$-alanine and ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid were measured in the temperature range from 20 to $40^{\circ}C$ and pressure up to 2,500 bar by conductometric method. The both dissociation constants of respective amino acid increase with temperature increase but pressure effect is not same as the temperature. The $K_1$ increases as pressure increases but $K_2$ decreases. The properties of these amino acids were discussed in terms of the thermodynamic properties of the dissociation reaction. A relationship between the dissociation constants and the distance between substituted groups of amino acid was discussed. The substituted effects of the reaction were deduced from Hammett reaction and substituted constants which were calculated from the measured dissociation constants.

The rate constants for the hydrolysis of the derivatives of N-(p-nitrophenyl)-benzohydrazonyl azide (p-$CH_3,\;p-CH_3O,\;p-NO_2$, p-Cl, p-Br) have been determined by UV spectrophotometry in 50% dioxane-water at $25^{\cicr}C$ and a rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. Below pH 5, the rate of hydrolysis of hydrazonyl azides is accelerated by electron-donating group ($\rho$ = -0.47), whereas at the pH values greater than 7, the $\rho$-value is 0.68. The effect of salt, solvent, substituent and azide ion on the rate of hydrolysis are rationalized in terms of $S_N1$ and $S_N2$ mechanism; below pH 5, the hydrolysis proceed through $S_N1$, however, above pH 7, the hydrolysis is started by the attack of hydroxide ion and in the range of pH 5∼7, these two reactions occur competitively.

The kinetics of hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-nitrobenzaldehydephenylhydrazone derivatives (p-$NO_2$, m-$NO_2$, p-Cl, p-$CH_3$) have been investigated by UV spectrometry in 25% dioxane-water at $25^{\circ}C$ and a rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained. From the rate equation and the effect of solvent, substituent and pKa on the rate equation, the following reaction mechanisms were proposed. Below pH 3.0 the hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-nitrobenzaldehydephenylhydrazone proceeds by $S_N1$ mechanism, while above pH 4.0 the hydrolysis proceeds through 1,3-dipole ion mechanism. In the range of pH from 3.0 to 4.0 these two reactions occur competitively.

The rate constants for the nucleophilic addition reactions of thiourea to ${\beta}$-nitrostyrene derivatives(p-H, p-Cl, p-CH$_3$, p-OCH$_3$, p-NO$_2$) were determined by UV spectrophotometer and rate equations which can be applied over a wide pH ranges were obtained. On the basis of substituent effect, general base catalysis and rate equations, a reaction mechanism was proposed and revealed quantitively. Above pH 9.00, sulfide anion adds to the double bond(Michael type addition) and between pH 7.00 and 9.00, the neutral molecules and its anions add to the double bond competitively. Below pH 7.00, the addition reaction to double bond is initiated by the addition of neutral thiourea molecule.

Second-order rate constants ($k_N$) have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl X-substituted-benzoates (1a-1h) with a series of cyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. The Hammett plot for the reactions of 1a-1h with piperidine consists of two intersecting straight lines, while the Yukawa-Tsuno plot exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ${\rho}_X $ = 1.25 and r = 0.58, indicating that the nonlinear Hammett plot is not due to a change in the rate-determining step (RDS) but is caused by ground-state stabilization through resonance interactions for substrates possessing an electron-withdrawing group in the benzoyl moiety. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl benzoate (1d) with a series of cyclic secondary amines curves downward with ${\beta}_2$ = 0.85, ${\beta}_1$ = 0.24, and $pK_a{^o}$ = 10.5, implying that a change in RDS occurs from the $k_2$ step to the $k_1$ process as the $pK_a$ of the conjugate acid of the amine exceeds 10.5. Dissection of $k_N$ into the microscopic rate constants $k_1$ and $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratio associated with the reaction of 1d reveals that $k_2$ is dependent on the amine basicity, which is contrary to generally held views.

Rates of reactions of methanesulfonyl chloride with various substituted anilines have been measured in methanol. Substituent effects in aniline are found to be linearly correlated with pKa(Bronsted relation with ${\beta}$ = 0.84) and ${\rho}$(Hammett equation with ${\rho}$ = -2.46) respectively. The results are interpreted in terms of degree of bond-formation at the transition state, which was found to have progressed relatively further. The rates for o-methylaniline deviated from the Bronsted plot established by meta and para substituted anilines because of a steric effect of ortho position in aniline. Activation parameters, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ have also been determined. The enthalpy of activation showed a regular variation in that electron donating substituents in the p-substituted aniline decrease ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and increase the negative value of ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$.

The rate constants for the hydrolysis of 4'-[N-(9-acridinyl)]-1'-(N-methanesulfonyl)-3'-methoxyquinonediimide(AMQD) were determined by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer in water at $25^{\circ}C.$ The rate equation which could be applied over wide pH ranges were obtained. On the basis of pH-rate profile, Bronsted plot, hydrolysis product analysis, general base catalysis and substituent effect, the plausible hydrolysis mechanism was proposed: Below pH 3.00, the hydrolysis reaction was proceeded by the attack of water to 4'-position of quinonoid after protonation at nitrogen of acridinyl and between pH 3.00 and 9.00, the addition of water and hydroxide occurred competitively. However, above pH 9.00, the rate constants were dependent upon only the concentration of hydroxide ion.

The chemical compositions and stability constants, thermodynamic parameters for the neodymium(Ⅲ) complexes of substituted benzo-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane(B15C5) have been determined by spectrophotometry and conductometry in methanol solution at various temperatures. As substituents, CH3, Br, CHO, NO2, and 3,4-(NO2)2 were used. In methanol solution the ratios of neodymium(Ⅲ) to the ligands in the complexes are 1 : 1. The stability constants were increased in order of B15C5-3,4-(NO2)2 < B15C5-NO2 < B15C5-CHO < B15C5-Br < B15C5 < B15C5-CH3. This observation can be explained in terms of the substituent effect. The order of stability constants was dimethylsulfoxide < acetone < acetonitrile in solution and the magnitudes were found to be inversely proportional to the solvents donicities. These results could be understood in terms of solvent basicity, ligand basicity, solvation of the cation, and entropy changes of complex formation.

The rate constants for the nucleophilic addition reactions of thioglycolic acid and cysteine to ${\beta},\;{\beta}$-dichlorostyrene derivatives(p-H, p-Cl, $p-CH_3,\;and\;p-OCH_3$) were photochemically determined at various pH and a rate equation which can be applied over a wide pH range was obtained. On the bases of rate equation, general base catalysis and substituent effect, the plausible addition reaction mechanism was proposed: Above pH 9.0, the reaction was initiated by the addition of sulfide anion, and in the range of pH 7.0 to 9.0, the neutral molecules and it's anions attacked to the double bond, competitively. However, below pH 7.0, only the neutral molecules of thioglycolic acid or cysteine added to the carbon-carbon double bond.
