The rates of hydrolysis of-amino acid esters in the presence of heavy metal divalent ions were investigated. A mechanism is postulated which involves a second-order reaction between a metal complex of the amino acidester and hydroxyl ions. The hydrolytic rate is determined by the nature of the side chain in the alpha amino acid ester and the complexing tendency of the metal ion.In a continuation of our studies on the effects of metal ions in biological systems, 4 it was observed that heavy metal ions accelerated the hydrolysis of amino acid esters in the pH range of 7.5-8.5. This reaction was investigated more closely in order to obtain information which could contribute to an understanding of the nature ofmetal ion activation of enzyme catalyzed hydrolytic re-actions. 5
