SevenN-alkylmaleamic acids were synthesized and converted through heating to the correspondingN-alkylmaleimides. Alkylmaleimides of varying chainlength were shown to effectively inactivate yeast alcohol dehydrogenase at pH 7.0. The effect of pH on the rate of hydrolysis ofN-ethylmaleimide was studied in the pH range from 8.6 to 9.4 where specific base catalysis of the reaction was observed.Second-order rate constants for maleimide inactivation of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase were shown to increase with increasing chainlength of the alkyl substituents of the maleimide derivatives. A chainlength effect was not observed in the reaction ofN-ethylmaleimide andN-heptylmaleimide with cysteine and glutathione. Yeast glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is less sensitive to maleimide inactivation than is yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, was inactivated by bothN-ethyl andN-heptylmaleimide at rates indicating no appreciable chainlength effect.
