Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of ferrocyanide by N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous acidic solution

The kinetics of oxidation of ferrocyanide by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) has been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous acidic medium over temperature range 20–35 °C, pH = 2.8–4.3, and ionic strength = 0.10–0.50 mol dm⁻³ over a range of [Fe²⁺] and [NBS]. The reaction exhibited first order dependence on both reactants and increased with increasing pH, [NBS], and [Fe²⁺]. The rate of oxidation obeys the rate law: d[Fe³⁺]/dt = [Fe(CN)₆]^4–[HNBS⁺]/(k ₂ + k ₃/[H⁺]). An outer-sphere mechanism has been proposed for the oxidation pathway of both protonated and deprotonated ferrocyanide species. Addition of both succinimide and mercuric acetate to the reaction mixture has no effect on the reaction rate under the experimental conditions. Mercuric acetate was added to the reaction mixture to act as scavenger for any bromide formed to ensure that the oxidation is entirely due to NBS oxidation.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of aniline and substituted anilines by isoquinolinium bromochromate in aqueous acetic acid

Oxidation of anilines by isoquinolinium bromochromate (IQBC) in aqueous acetic acid leads to the formation of corresponding azobenzenes. The reaction is first order with respect to both aniline and IQBC and is catalyzed by hydrogen ion. The rate of oxidation decreases with increasing dielectric constant of solvent, indicating the presence of an ion-dipole interaction. The rate of oxidation decreases with increase in concentration of KCl, possibly due to the formation of less reactive species by interaction of Cl^- and protonated IQBC. The specific rate of oxidizing species anilines reaction correlates with substituents constant affording a negative reaction constant. Hammett plot is found to be valid and the correlation between enthalpies and free energies of activation is reasonably linear with an isokinetic temperature of 401 K.     

Kinetics of oxidation of pyridoxine by anodically generated manganese(III) in aqueous acetic acid medium

Summary Manganese(III) acetate was prepared by the electrolytic oxidation of Mn(OAc)₂ in aqueous AcOH. The electro-generated manganese(III) species was characterised by spectroscopic and redox potential studies. The kinetics of oxidation of pyridoxine (PRX) by manganese(III) in aqueous AcOH were investigated and is first order with respect to [Mn^III]. The effects of varying [Mn^III], [PRX], added manganese(II), pH and added anions such as AcO⁻, F⁻, Cl⁻ and ClO _inf4 ^sup− and SO _inf4 ^sup2− were studied. The rate decreased slowly with increasing [H⁺] up to 0.2 mol dm⁻³ and increased steeply thereafter. The orders in [PRX] and [Mn^II] were unity and inverse fractional, respectively, in both low and high [H⁺] ranges. The dependence of reaction rate on temperature was studied and activation parameters were computed from Arrhenius and Eyring plots. A mechanism consistent with the observed results is proposed and discussed.

The oxidation of l-ascorbic acid (H₂A) by platinum(IV) in aqueous acid medium exhibits overall second-order kinetics, being first order with respect to each reactant.

The kinetics of oxidation of l ‐ascorbic acid (H₂A) by peroxomonophosphate in acid aqueous medium has been studied. The stoichiometry of the reaction corresponds to the reaction as represented by the equation (1) where A is dehydroascorbic acid. The reaction is second order versus first order with respect to each reactant. The rate is retarded by hydrogen ion concentration. A plausible reaction mechanism has been suggested. The derived rate law (2) from such a mechanism accounts for all experimental observations: (2) Such pH dependence is somewhat different from that observed in the case of metal ion oxidants. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of diethyl ketone by N-bromosuccinimide

Oxidative kinetics of diethyl ketone in perchloric acid media in the presence of mercuric acetate have been studied by using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as oxidant in the temperature range of 25°-50°C. It has been found that the order with respect to NBS is zero while with respect to diethyl ketone and [H⁺], it is unity. Succinimide, sodium perchlorate, and mercuric acetate have an insignificant effect on the reaction rate, while the dielectric effect was negative. A solvent isotope effect (k0_D2O/k0_H2O = 1.6–1.8) at 35°C has been observed. On the basis of the available evidences a suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental results has been proposed in which it is suggested that the mechanistic route for NBS oxidation in an acidic medium is through the enol form of the ketone. The magnitude of the solvent effect also supports the mechanism. Various activation parameters have been calculated, and the 1,2-dicarbonyl compound has been identified as the end product of the reaction.

Kinetics and mechanism of OsO4 catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce4 in aqueous acetic sulfuric acid media

Kinetics of OsO₄ catalyzed oxidation of chalcones by Ce⁴⁺ has been studied in aqueous acetic-sulfuric acid medium in the temperature range 313 to 338 K. The order in [oxidant] is zero while the order with respect to [substrate] and [catalyst] are each fractional.

A mechanism in which formation of a cyclic ester between chalcone and OsO₄ in a fast step followed by its decomposition in a rate-determining step is envisaged.
