Abstract: | The liberation of 2,4-dinitrophenolate ion from 2,4-dinitrophenyl sulfate (DNPS) in aqueous organic solvent with 0.1 N sodium hydroxide was accelerated upon addition of an equimolar amount of Oxime-I (10-hydroxy-11-hydroxyimino20]-paracyclophane) to the sulfate ester. Oxime-I was found to undergo covalent participation at the oxime group to afford oxime O-sulfonate. The rate acceleration with Oxime-I was larger than that with β-CD (cycloheptaamylose). The catalytic efficiency of Oxime-I has been ascribed primarily to the tighter inclusion of the substrate ester into the more hydrophobic Oxime-I cavity provided by the effective apolar paracyclophane skeleton, as well as to the greater nucleophilicity of the oxime group than of the hydroxyl group in β-CD. Consequently, Oxime-I may be considered as a conventional model for arylsulfatases and sulfotransferases, providing the effective binding process for the substrate. |
