Conceptual principles for operation of a molecular motor stipulate that such a species must consist of an energy-consuming catalyst that exhibits within its mechanism temporal overlap of successive catalytic cycles, so as to induce irreversible intramolecular motion during operation. The exothermic hydration reaction of MeCOCH=C=NCMe3 brought about by catalyst HO2CCH2OCMe(CO2H)2 qualifies as such a process, in the form of serial conversion between canonical carboxylic anhydride structures within the catalyst. The steady-state kinetic behavior and inactivation by methanol demonstrate the operation of an appropriate repetitive catalytic loop in this case. Copyright

Compounds having the formula STR1 wherein M is an alkali metal or ammonium, R1 and R2 are hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R3 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or COOM are useful sequestrants and detergency builders. Lower alkyl esters and acids of such compounds are useful intermediates for their production.
