The substituent effects on the rate constant of the acid and alkaline deamination of quinone di-imines are explained, using the frontier orbital (FO) perturbation theory.The main contributions to the pertubation energy are electrostatic and orbital interactions.The alkaline deamination is both orbital and charge controlled, whereas the acid deamination is only an orbital-controlled reaction.

The deamination rates of six N-substituted quinone monoimines in aqueous solution were measured by a stopped-flow method at temperatures between 278 and 323 K in the pH range between 1 and 9 using u.v. spectra. The observed rate constants are given by k = k′[H2O] + k″[OH-]; k′ and k″ differ by 12 orders of magnitude. The enthalpies of activation of k′ and k″ are nearly equal; the entropies of activation are strongly negative for k′ and strongly positive for k″. The activation parameters of the acid and alkaline deamination of N-substituted quinone di-imines were also measured. With regard to the activation entropies similar results were found as for the quinone monoimines. For all deaminations a common mechanism with a preceding solvation equilibrium is proposed.
