The reactions of acetylimidazole with weakly acidic thiols undergo a change in rate-determining step with increasing imidazole buffer concentration. The imidazole-catalyzed step is assigned to the breakdown of a tetrahedral addition intermediate and the other step to attack of thiol anion on free acetylimidazole. However, the concurrent, uncatalyzed reaction of acetylimidazolium ion with thiol anion does not undergo this change in rate-determining step. The phosphate-catalyzed reaction also does not undergo a change in rate-determining step and phosphate can bring about a rate increase under conditions in which imidazole brings about no further rate increase. It is suggested that these results may be explained in terms of bimolecular reactions in aqueous solution that proceed by independent, concurrent pathways; ie, the intermediates or transition states need not be atequi-librium with respect to transport processes.
