Abstract. The kinetic solvent
isotope effects on the acid catalysed hydrolysis of three unsubstituted hydroxamic acids of the type R-C6H4.CO NHOH (R=H, 4-CH3O and 3-Cl) have been studied
in D2SO4
and DCl in 10% (v/v) dimethyl
sulphoxide at 550c. The results particularly the change in the magnitude
of kinetic solvent
isotope
effect on increasing acidityare consistent with a reaction
involving a· fast pre-equilibrium followde by bimolecular deuterium oxide or water attack
as a nucleophile on protonated
species of hydroxamic acid.
