RECEIVEDJULY 24, 1962 The catalytic effects of 1 : 1 Cu( 11)chelates of S,N'-dimethylethylenediamine( D M E S ) , N , S , ~ ' , S ' - t e t r a m e t l i y l e t h ~ l ~ r i e diamine ( T M E S ) , S-hydroxyethylethylenediamine ( H E N ) , S,N'-dihydroxyethylethylenediarnine (2-HEN), a,a -diyyridyl (DIPY), 1,lO-phenanthroline ( P H E S ) , glycylglycine (GG) and diglycylglycine (GGG) on the hydrolysis of diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate ( D F P ) h a r e been studied over a range of p H and metal chelate corxentration. Detailed studies of the aqueous metal complex equilibria were correlated with rate measurements in order to calculate specific rate constants or monohydroxo (Cu[OH]L(H?O))chelates. The specific rate constants for for catalysis by the 1 :1 diaquo CUL(H~O)J catalysis by chelates of the various ligands decreased in the order D I P Y > T M E N > P H E S > D M E K > H E N > 2 - H E S . Tlic specific rate constant for the interaction of D F P with hydrosyl ion vms foulid to be 0.31 + 0.03 liter mole-' set.-'. The protonated cupric chelate of glycylglycine was shown t o have slight catalytic activity whereas the observed rates for the Cu:IIFGGG system were the result of catalysis by the aquo cupric ion which was present in equilibrium with the clielate. The heat and entropy of activation of the Cu( II)-dipyrid>-l catalJ-stare reported.

Introduction Following the preliminary report of Wagner- Jauregg, et aLJ3the role of metal ions and metal chelates as catalysts in the hydrolysis of cholinesterase inhibitors such as isopropyl methyl phosphonofluoridate (Sarin) and diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate (DFP) has been dt scribed by several workers. Wagner- Jauregg, ?t rcported the use of copper(I1) complexes of a,cr'-dipyridyl, imidazole, histidine and other ligands as catalysts for the hydrolysis of D F P and have outlined some possible mechanisms. Courtney, et aLJ4showed that chelates of Cu(II), La(III), Fe(III), Cr(III), Ti(IV), Sn(IV), U02(VI), VO(IV), Mo02(VI) and ZrO(1V) have considerable catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of Sarin, and also studied the effect of various copper(I1) chelates on the hydrolysis of DFP. Fowkes, et u L . , ~ carried out a detailed study on the interaction of Cu(1I)-dipyridyl with D F P , while Epstein, et aZ.,5investigated the catalytic hydrolysis of Sarin in the presence of cerous, cupric and manganous ions. Gustalson and RIartel17reported in detail the catalytic effects of six copper(I1) chelates upon the hydrolysis of Sarin and proposed a mechanism for the catalytic hydrolysis reaction. It is the purpose of this investigation to extend the scope of the Sarin studies to include the reactions of the analogous compound, DFP. As in the previous case,' the ligands chosen were N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine (DRIEN) , N,N,N ',N '-tetramethylethylenediamine (TRIEN), N-hydroxyethylthylenediamine (HEN), N, N '-dihydroxyethylthylenediamine (2 - HEN), a,a' - dipyridyl (DIPY) and 1 , l O - phenanthroline (PHEN). Also, the catalytic effects of two copper(I1) chelates containing peptide ligands, Cu(I1)-glycylglycine and Cu(I1)-diglycylglycine, are investigated. Experimental Reagents.-The D F P was obtained from the Colgate-Palm; olive Co. and had the following physical properties: b.p. 60-61 ~ A stock solution of 0.06 molar (8.2 mm.), d25 1.055, n Z 51.3792. concentration was prepared in spectrograde anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. Standardization was carried out by titration of the acid produced during catalytic hydrolysis by the cupric chelate of T M E N at -log [H+]values of 6.9 and 8.9 with a Beckman automatic titrator. Cupric nitrate and the various ligand solutions were prepared and standardized as described in previous publica(1) This paper reports work done under contract with the Chemical Corps, U. S.

t i ~ n s , ~Standard J potassium hydroxide was prepared by the method of Schwarzenbach and Biedermann .lo Samples of glycylglycine and diglycylglycine were obtained from F. Iloffman LaRoche and Co., and aqueous solutions of these compounds were standardized by potentiometric titration with standard potassium hydroxide. Kinetic Measurements.-The formation of acid during the course of D F P hydrolysis was measured as a function of time with a Beckman automatic titrator, which maintained the experimental solution at constant pH by automatic addition of standard potassium hydroxide from a microburet. The reaction was ~' carried out in a multinecked flask, described p r e v i o ~ s l y , ~which accommodated a mercury seal stirrer, gas inlet and outlet tubes, glass and calomel electrodes and microburet delivery tubes for D F P and potassium hydroxide solutions. In a typical run an aliquot of copper chelate solution was introduced into the titration cell and the volume was adjusted t o 100ml. with potassium nitrate solution and distilled water such that the final ionic strength was 0.10. Presaturated nitrogen was passed through the solution to exclude carbon dioxide and the hydrogen ion concentration was adjusted by means of the automatic unit. An anticipation setting of 9 was used in all experiments. An aliquot of D F P was added by means of an automatic buret and time measurements were begun when half of the D F P had been added. Readings of time v s . corresponding standard base delivered were recorded over the course of the titration. I n nearly all cases, linear plots of time vx. log [u/'(a - F)] (where u is the amount of base required for complete hydrolysls of D F P and x is the amount of base added at time t ) were obtained indicating first order kinetics. Catalytic hydrolysis of D F P in the presence of the Cu(I1) chelates of DMEN, T M E N , H E N , 2-HEN, D I P Y and P H E N were carried out a t -loa IH+1 values of 6.90, 7.40, 7.90, 8.40 and 8.90 with several conc&'trat'ions of catalyst at 25.0". Several experiments were also performed at 0.3 and 42.5' with each of the chelates mentioned above. The catalytic effects of the copper( 11) chelates of glycylglycine (GG) and diglycylglycine (GGG) were also measured at -log [H+] values of 6.90 and 8.90 at 25.0°, and the reaction of D F P with hydroxyl ion was studied in the PH range 10.0- 11.5 a t 25.0"

Calculations A plot of time 11s. log [a/ (a-x)3 resulted in a straight line, indicating first-order kinetics, since copper chelate and hydroxyl ion concentrations were maintained a t constant values during the course of each hydrolysis experiment. First-order constants were calculated according to the relationship kubs

where kobs is the first-order rate constant and t l / , is the experimental half -time. Since hydroxyl ion alone will react with the DFP, rate measurements were carried out in the absence of a metal chelate catalyst. The measured hydrolysis rate may be summarized by the expression kobs =

A plot of [OH-] as abscissa LIS. kobs as ordinate should give a straight line of slope koH, while the intercept a t [OH-] equal t o zero should give a value of the constant c. The possible catalytic copper(I1) species are: 1, the diaquo chelate, CuLZ+;2, the monohydroxo chelate Cu[OH]L+; 3, dihydroxo chelate, Cu[OH]gL; 4, a dimer, ( C U [ O H ] L ) ~ ~and + ; 5, the unbound or aquo copper(I1) ion, Cu2+. The calculation of the distribution of the above species as a function of p H and total concentration has been described in detail in previous publication^.^^^ Correlation of the equilibrium data with kinetic data obtained upon catalytic hydrolysis of D F P permitted the calculation of rate constants in the manner described p r e v i ~ u s l y . ~The total observed rate, kobs, may be defined in terms of thev arious catalytic and reacting species as k,i,

Results and Discussion Interaction of Hydroxyl Ion with DFP.-The results of experiments in which the hydrolysis of D F P was carried out in the absence of a copper(I1) chelate catalyst in the -log [ H + ]range 9.9-11.4 are shown in Table I. A plot of ko, vs. [OH-] using these data resulted in a straight line with an intercept a t or near the origin indicating that the constant c in eq. 2 is small. The rate of spontaneous hydrolysis of D F P due to interaction with the solvent medium alone may therefore be said t o be negligible with respect to the effects observed when either copper(I1) chelates or high hydroxyl ion concentrations are present.

Catalytic Effect of Cu(I1) Chelates.-The results obtained on the catalytic hydrolysis of D F P in the presence of copper(I1) chelates are shown in Tables I1 and 111, in which the experimental half-times are given as a function of -log [ H + ] and total metal concentration. On the basis of these data and the equilibrium data for the various copper(I1) chelate systems employed,s rate constants for the diaquo (and or monohydroxo) chelate, kL, and for the dihydroxo (and/'or nionohydroxo) chelate, kB, were calculated and are listed in Table IY. Similar constants calculated for the copper chelate catalyzed reaction of Sarin' are also tabulated for comparison, The results of typical calculations based on eq. 4 are shown in Fig. 1 for the Cu(I1)DMEN-DFP system. 4lthough the values of k L obtained for hydrolysis of Sarin in the presence of Cu(I1) chelates of T M E X , D M E K , H E N and ?-HEN are 13 to 15 times those obtained for D F P hydrolysis, the values of k L calculated for Cu(I1)-DIPI' and Cu(I1)-PHEN catalyzed hydrolysis of Sarin are only greater than those of the analogous D F P case by a factor of four. This is somewhat surprising since one might expect a larger difference in the relative reactivities of D I P Y and P H E S with Sarin and D F P due to possible steric effects which might be encountered in the latter compound because of the presence of an additional isopropyl substituent. Based on data for Cu(I1)-DIPY catalyzed D F P hydrolysis shown in Table V, in which i t was assumed that no unchelated copper(I1) species mere present, a heat 0.6 kcal.,'mole was obof activation, AH*, of 3.1 tained for the aquo or monohydroxo chelate catalyzed hydrolysis reaction, the rate constant of which is represented by kA'. For the purpose of comparative calculations at -log [ H + ] = 6.90 it was assumed that

Catalysis by Cu(I1)-glycylglycine (GG) and Cu(I1)diglycylglycine (GGG).-The results of catalytic hydrolysis of D F P by Cu(I1)-GG and Cu(I1)-GGG are shown in Table VI. Two interesting results may be noticed. First the catalytic effect of the chelate of the quadridenbate ligand, GGG, is greater than t h a t of the terdentate ligand, GG, a t -log [H+] 6.90 and, second, the rate observed in the presence of Cu(1I)-GGG is greater at -log [H-] 6.90 than a t 8.99. Consideration of the distribution of chelate species under the conditions employed makes it possible to explain the effects noted above. From data published by Murphy and Martellll the equilibrium constants for the following reactions were interpolated to the following values a t 25" k, H.?G
