The deprotonation rate constants and kinetic isotope effects of the cation radicals have been determined by combined use of direct electrochemical techniques at micro- and ultramicroelectrodes, redox catalysis, and laser flash photolysis, over a extended

The solvolysis kinetics in 1-propanol of a number of alkyl-substituted pyridine boranes was studied. The reactions were first order in amine borane. Linear variation of log k with pKa of the pyridinium ion was observed for groups of compounds with the same ortho substituents; steric enhancement of rate was attributed to 1.1 and 3.5 kcal./mole of strain relief in the transition state for one or two o-methyl groups, respectively. It was concluded that the solvolysis mechanism involves B-N cleavage in the slow step. It was found that the free energy of the transition state referred to the dissociation products was invariant with substitutions on the pyridine ring.
