Tiivistelmä
Isopropyl, ethyl, 2-ethoxyethyl, 2-chloroethyl, 2,2-dichloroethyl and 2,2,2-trichloroethyl esters of uridine 3'-phosphate have been prepared. In aqueous acid the compounds undergo concurrent isomerization to 2'-alkylphosphates and cleavage to uridine 2',3'-cyclic phosphate, but in aqueous alkali only cleavage to the cyclic phosphate takes place. Buffer-independent rate constants for these reactions have been determined. The hydroxide-ion-catalyzed reaction to the 2',3'-cyclic monophosphate is exceptionally susceptible to the polar nature of the leaving group, the beta(1g) value being -1.28 +/- 0.05. By contrast, the hydronium-ion-catalyzed isomerization and cleavage are both rather insensitive to the electron-withdrawing ability of the alkyl group, the beta and beta(1g) values being -0.18 +/- 0.02 and -0.12 +/- 0.05, respectively. The transition state structures of the reactions are discussed on the basis of these structural-effects.
