Second order rate constants, kAcO, kDO, and kHO, of the TKPs studied with 40% d3-MeCN co-solvent at 25 °C and I = 0.06–0.20 M (KCl).

k AcO a (M−1 s−1) k DO (M−1 s−1) k HO b (M−1 s−1)
Gly TKP 7.21 × 10−2 5.09 × 105 6.40 × 104
Pro TKP 1.61 × 10−2 8.99 × 106 1.14 × 106
a

k AcO is the second order rate constant for deprotonation by acetate anion and was obtained as the slope of kobsexversus buffer concentration plots at pD 6.28 for Gly TKP and pD 4.76–5.28 for Pro TKP.

b

A secondary solvent isotope effect of kDO/kHO = 1.46 was used to convert kDO to kHO.
