The kinetics of oxidation of seven sulpha drugs, viz. sulphanilamide, sodium sulphacetamide, sulphasomidine, sulphaguanidine, sulphadiazine, sulphapyridine and sulphamethazole by peroxydisulphate ion have been followed iodometrically.The reaction follow second order kinetics, first order in each reactant.The salt effect is found to be of primary linear type.The reaction is very sensitive to pH and the rate increases with increase in pH and becomes constant after a certain value of pH in each case.The rate decreases with decrease in the dielectric constant of the medium, and the plot between log k2 and D-1 is linear.Reaction is appreciably inhibited by the presence of diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH).The product of oxidation characterised in each case is the corresponding azoxybenzene derivative.The various thermodynamic parameters are reported.A suitable mechanism involving free radicals has been proposed and the corresponding rate law derived.
