Catalytic oxidation of benzoin to benzil by p-benzoquinone in the presence of 2 (tipbt = 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenethiolate) obeys first-order kinetics in concentrations of benzoin and the catalyst.The observed rate constant was found to depend on the bulkiness of the thiolate or the peptide ligand of ^2-.A complex with a bulky peptide, ^2- ( Z = benzyloxycarbonyl, CysS = S-deprotonated cysteinate), had an activity five times higher than that of ^2-. para-Substitution of benzoin indicated a trend in the oxidation rate: 4-Cl > H, 4-OMe.It is proposed that the methine hydrogen of benzoin is released as a proton in the rate-determining step.This is supported by the isotope effect (k_H/k_D 2.5:1) on the oxidation rate of α-C-deuteriated benzoin.An increase in the relative permittivity of the solvent results in an increase in the rate constant, indicating a polar transition state.
