- Ru(III) Catalysed Oxidation of Aminoacids by N-Bromosuccinimide in Aqueous Acetic Acid: A Kinetic Study
-
Kinetics of Ru(III) catalysed oxidation of glycine (GLy), α-alanine (α-ala), β-alanine (β-ala) leucine (Leu), phenyl glycine (Ph-gly) and phenyl alanine (Ph-ala) by N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of mercuric acetate have been studied in aqueous acetic acid medium in the presence of sulphuric acid.The oxidation products were identified as corresponding aldehydes, ammonia, and carbondioxide.The order of was found to be unity both in catalysed as well as uncatalysed reactions.However the first order of changed from unity to a fractional one in the presence of Ru(III).The applicability of Taft's equation was tested.On the basis of kinetic features the probable mechanisms were discussed and individual rate parameters evaluated.
