The kinetics of oxidation of L-tyrosine (Tyr) by sodium N-bromobenzenesulfonamide or bromamine-B (BAB) has been studied in NaOH medium at 283 K. The rates are first order in both [BAB]o and [Tyr] o and inverse fractional order in [OH-]. Ionic strength and halide ion variations or the presence of added reaction product, benzenesulfonamide, has no pronounced effect on the rate. The dielectric effect is positive. The reaction has been studied at different temperatures and activation parameters for the composite reaction are computed. Solvent isotope effect is also studied. The thermodynamic parameters for the equilibrium step and activation parameters for the rate determining step are evaluated. A plausible mechanism consistent with the observed kinetics is proposed.
