โฆ Synopsis
The tripeptide alanylalanylalanine reacts with either HOCl or HOBr to form a N, Ndihalopeptide. These compounds decompose to the N-halo-N'-(a-iminoket0)peptides plus halide ion. The rate constants for these reactions in 0.4-M NaCl were determined to be (PH 6.7) k4 = 1.06 x 1015e 18,400'RT min-' (PH 6.6) (71: k -1.52 101je-19.600/RT 4 -Br:
where the activation energies are in cal/mol. The N-halo-N '-(a-iminoketobpeptides slowly decompose either by a two-step hydrolysis reaction to form ammonia, halide ion, and an N-(a-acylketo)peptide, or by direct decomposition to a nitrile, an isocyanopeptide, and a halide ion.
