Mm. Shoukry et al., EQUILIBRIUM AND HYDROLYSIS OF ALPHA-AMINO-ACID ESTERS IN MIXED-LIGANDCOMPLEXES WITH N-(ACETAMIDO)-IMINODIACETATECOPPER(II), Transition metal chemistry, 20(3), 1995, pp. 252-255
The formation equilibria of the binary and ternary complexes of Cu-II
with N-(acetamido)-iminodiacetic acid (ADA) and amino acids or their e
sters were investigated potentiometrically. The chelation mode was asc
ertained by conductivity measurements. The kinetics of the base hydrol
ysis of amino acid esters in the presence of the copper(II)-ADA comple
x were studied. The rate and catalysis constants were estimated.
