The hydrolysis kinetics of monobasic and dibasic aminoalkyl esters of ketorolac.

Six aminoethyl and aminobutyl esters of ketorolac containing 1-methylpiperazine (MPE and MPB), N-acetylpiperazine (APE and APB) or morpholine (ME and MB), were synthesized and their hydrolysis kinetics were studied. The hydrolysis was studied at pH 1 to 9 (for MPE, APE and ME) and pH 1 to 8 (for MPB, APB and MB) in aqueous phosphate buffer (0.16 M) with ionic strength (0.

Analysis and evaluation of nitrate levels in groundwater at Al-Hashimiya area, Jordan.

Water with high nitrate concentration (NO(3) (-)) is unfit for human consumption, especially when its concentration exceeded the threshold limit (50 mg/l) recommended by the health authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO). In Jordan, there is a great concern for determination and monitoring organic and inorganic pollutants that may reach groundwater. Nitrate is highly mobile and present in domestic, agricultural and industrial waste in Jordan, and thus this study focused initially on nitrate as both a contaminant of concern and as an indicator of potential groundwater contamination.

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Epoxidation of Alkyl-Substituted Alkenes by Hydrogen Peroxide, Catalyzed by Methylrhenium Trioxide.

Epoxidations of alkyl-substituted alkenes, with hydrogen peroxide as the oxygen source, are catalyzed by CH(3)ReO(3) (MTO). The kinetics of 28 such reactions were studied in 1:1 CH(3)CN-H(2)O at pH 1 and in methanol. To accommodate the different requirements of these reactions, (1)H-NMR, spectrophotometric, and thermometric techniques were used to acquire kinetic data.
