a

At pH 7.0 and I = 0.14 (NaCl), unless noted otherwise.

b

Second-order rate constant for the unactivated OMPDC-catalyzed decarboxylation of the truncated substrate in the absence of phosphite. The estimated error is ± 10%.

c

Data from Ref. 13.

d

At pH 7.1.

e

Third-order rate constant for the phosphite-activated OMPDC-catalyzed decarboxylation of the truncated substrate. The estimated error is ± 20%.

f

Data from Ref. 11.

g

At pH 7.1 and I = 0.21 (NaCl).
