Rates of disproportionation of 0.015-0.4 mM aqueous glyoxal to glycolic acid were measured a t 0.24-75 mM NaOH and constant ionic strength, leading to the empirical rate expression r = (aJOH-1 + a,[OH~l')[GTl/(l + aJOH 11, where [GTl is the total glyoxal concentration.

β¦ Synopsis
Equilibria and rates of interconversion between monomeric and dimeric glyoxal were measured in aqueous solution. The equilibrium constant [G2]/[GJ2 was 0.56 M-' at 25"C, and was hardly affected by changes of ionic strength and pH but increased rapidly with increase of temperature. The rate of depolymerization was first-order in dimer, with the pseudo first-order rate coefficient in the pH range 1.3-7.8 being of the form bl[H30*I + bp + b3[OH-]/(1 + b,[OH-I) + b,[OH-]. Coefficients 6, and bp were more strongly affected by changes of temperature, though [OH-] was much the more effective catalyst. This rate form has not previously been observed for monomer-dimer interconversion of Q -hydroxycarbonyls and a -dicarbonyls or for related reactions such as mutarotations and hydrations. Equivalent rate forms arise from reactions where an intermediate a t steady state and low concentration is produced.
