Abstract: | A study of the kinetics of the reaction of chlorophyll a with propylamine and isobutylamine indicates a low activation energy (~5 kcal) and high negative entropy (~60 eu). Propylamine and isobutylamine react with Ring V cleavage more readily with chlorophyll b and pheophytin b compounds than with the a compounds, and more readily with the pheophytins than with chlorophylls. |
