Kinetics and mechanisms of the oxidation by permanganate of L-Phenylalanine

The oxidation of L-Phenylalanine by permanganate ion in aqueous phosphate buffers is autocatalized by the inorganic reaction product, which is stabilized in solution by adsorption of phosphate ions on its surface. This product is a soluble form of colloidal manganese dioxide. The rate of the noncatalytic reaction pathway is first-order in both the oxidizing and reducing agent. It is not affected by potassium chloride addition to the solution, but by phosphate addition. The rate increases with the pH of the medium. The autocatalytic pathway is first-order in both permanganate ion and colloidal manganese dioxide, (the permanganate ion according to the Langmuir isotherm). The autocatalytic rate increases with reductant concentration (follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm). It is not affected by potassium chloride addition to the solution, whereas an increase in the phosphate concentration results in an increase in the rate with the same pH of the medium. Mechanisms consistent with the experimental data are proposed.     

Kinetics of the permanganate oxidation of formic acid in aqueous solution

The kinetics of the permanganate oxidation of formic acid in aqueous perchloric acid at 30°C were examined by the spectrophotometric method. The chemical reaction 2MnO + 3HCOOH + 2H⁺ → 2MnO₂ + 3CO₂ + 4H₂O, appears to proceed via several parallel reactions. The overall rate equation has been obtained by using statistical multilinear regression analysis of the 660 cases studied, and the presence in the rate equation of two new terms in relation to previous studies shows that both permanganate autocatalytic effects and acid media inhibition must be taken into account when the reaction proceeds at constant ionic strength.     

Kinetics of lecithin oxidation in liposomal aqueous solutions

The peculiarities of egg phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) oxidation with molecular oxygen in aqueous media are investigated. Under the action of ultrasound, lecithin forms multilamellar liposomes or vesicles in aqueous solutions. Lecithin is oxidized through a chain free-radical mechanism. The nonlinear dependence of the rate of oxygen absorption on the substrate concentration and the imitation of the linear termination of the oxidation chain are observed. The study of the inhibited oxidation of phosphatidylcholine suggests that catecholamines, such as dopamine, noradrenalin, and adrenalin, are markedly more efficient antioxidants than quercetin and α-tocopherol. Phosphate buffer solution is shown to strongly influence the ways of adrenalin transformation in reactions with peroxyl radicals.

Kinetics of the base-catalyzed permanganate oxidation of benzaldehyde

The kinetics of the base-catalyzed permanganate oxidation of benzaldehyde have been reexamined. The rate is proportional to the first power of the aldehyde and permanganate concentrations, and there are terms that are zero order, first order, and second order in hydroxide ion. The reaction has an isotope effect, and the effect of substituents gives rho = +1.58. The possible mechanisms for the reaction are discussed in the context of ab initio calculations at the B3P86/6-311+G and MP2/6-31G theoretical levels, and both one- and two-electron processes are possible. Benzaldehyde hydrate dianion is calculated to have a remarkably small C-H bond dissociation energy.     

Kinetics and mechanisms of the oxidation of iodide and bromide in aqueous solutions by a trans-dioxoruthenium(VI) complex

The kinetics and mechanisms of the oxidation of I (-) and Br (-) by trans-[Ru (VI)(N 2O 2)(O) 2] (2+) have been investigated in aqueous solutions. The reactions have the following stoichiometry: trans-[Ru (VI)(N 2O 2)(O) 2] (2+) + 3X (-) + 2H (+) --> trans-[Ru (IV)(N 2O 2)(O)(OH 2)] (2+) + X 3 (-) (X = Br, I). In the oxidation of I (-) the I 3 (-)is produced in two distinct phases. The first phase produces 45% of I 3 (-) with the rate law d[I 3 (-)]/dt = ( k a + k b[H (+)])[Ru (VI)][I (-)]. The remaining I 3 (-) is produced in the second phase which is much slower, and it follows first-order kinetics but the rate constant is independent of [I (-)], [H (+)], and ionic strength. In the proposed mechanism the first phase involves formation of a charge-transfer complex between Ru (VI) and I (-), which then undergoes a parallel acid-catalyzed oxygen atom transfer to produce [Ru (IV)(N 2O 2)(O)(OHI)] (2+), and a one electron transfer to give [Ru (V)(N 2O 2)(O)(OH)] (2+) and I (*). [Ru (V)(N 2O 2)(O)(OH)] (2+) is a stronger oxidant than [Ru (VI)(N 2O 2)(O) 2] (2+) and will rapidly oxidize another I (-) to I (*). In the second phase the [Ru (IV)(N 2O 2)(O)(OHI)] (2+) undergoes rate-limiting aquation to produce HOI which reacts rapidly with I (-) to produce I 2. In the oxidation of Br (-) the rate law is -d[Ru (VI)]/d t = {( k a2 + k b2[H (+)]) + ( k a3 + k b3[H (+)]) [Br (-)]}[Ru (VI)][Br (-)]. At 298.0 K and I = 0.1 M, k a2 = (2.03 +/- 0.03) x 10 (-2) M (-1) s (-1), k b2 = (1.50 +/- 0.07) x 10 (-1) M (-2) s (-1), k a3 = (7.22 +/- 2.19) x 10 (-1) M (-2) s (-1) and k b3 = (4.85 +/- 0.04) x 10 (2) M (-3) s (-1). The proposed mechanism involves initial oxygen atom transfer from trans-[Ru (VI)(N 2O 2)(O) 2] (2+) to Br (-) to give trans-[Ru (IV)(N 2O 2)(O)(OBr)] (+), which then undergoes parallel aquation and oxidation of Br (-), and both reactions are acid-catalyzed.

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of alkyl and aryl methyl ketones by permanganate ion in aqueous ethanoic acid

The kinetics of electron-transfer reactions between permanganate ion and ethyl and aryl methyl ketones have been studied in aqueous MeCO2H acid medium in the presence of HClO4 at different temperatures. For ethyl methyl ketone and XC6H4COMe (X = p-Cl, p-Br or p-NO2) the reaction obeys the rate law –d[MnO4–]/dt = (kKe[H+][MnO4–][RCO Me])/(1 + Ke[H+][RCOMe]).But the oxidations of XC6H4COMe (X = p-Me and p-OMe)follow the rate equation –d[MnO4–]/dt = k3[H+][MnO4–][RCOMe]. The reaction involves a fast pre-equilibrium with intermediate formation of a permanganate ester before the two-electron transfer, rate-determining, step. A number of thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated.     

Kinetics and mechanism of diethyl sulfide oxidation by sodium peroxoborate in aqueous solutions

The kinetics of diethyl sulfide (Et₂S) oxidation by aqueous sodium peroxoborate (Na₂[В₂(О₂)₂(ОН)₄]) solutions in a wide acidity range (from [HClO₄] = 1 mol/L to рН 12) has been studied using a kinetic distribution method. The kinetic data together with the results of ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy demonstrate that the monoperoxoborate B(O₂H) ₃ ^- (OH) and diperoxoborate B(O₂H)₂(OH) ₂ ^- anions are the active species in Et₂S oxidation by sodium peroxoborate at рН 8–12. It is assumed that, at a high acidity of the medium ([HClO₄] = 0.05–1.0 mol/L), peroxoboric acid (ОН)₂ВООН or its protonated form (OH)₂BOOH ₂ ⁺ are direct reactants along with Н₂О₂ and HOOH ₂ ⁺ .     

Kinetics and mechanisms of oxidation of 1-octene and heptanal by crown ether-solubilized potassium permanganate in non-aqueous solvents

The kinetics of oxidation of 1-octene and heptanal by 18-crown-6-ether-solubilized KMnO₄ in benzene and CH₂Cl₂ have been investigated. In benzene, the oxidation of 1-octene is first order with respect to the oxidant and zero order with respect to the substrate, whereas in CH₂Cl₂ the reaction is first order with respect to both substrate and oxidant. The reaction of heptanal followed different kinetics being first order with respect to both substrate and oxidant, regardless of whether benzene or CH₂Cl₂ was employed as the solvent. The values of activation energy E _a, standard enthalpy H ^*, standard entropy change S ^*, and standard free energy G ^*, for the reaction, are reported. Mechanistic pathways for the studied reactions are also proposed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of acetylacetone by permanganate ion

The kinetics and mechanism of permanganate ion oxidation of acetylacetone (Acac) was studied in acidic and alkaline media. The rate constants for keto, enol, and enolate anions were determined and discussed. Delocalization of the π‐electrons of the double bond by conjugation results in a slower oxidation rate of enol than can be usually observed for unsaturated compounds. In the case of the keto form, the acid‐catalyzed nucleophilic attack of permanganate ion occurs on the carbonyl‐C atom. For enolate anion a mechanism with basis‐catalyzed electron abstraction is suggested. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 38: 444–450, 2006     

Kinetics and mechanism of sulfite oxidation by permanganate in basic medium

The kinetics of the permanganate-sulfite redox reaction has been studied in the alkaline medium using a stopped-flow technique. In the pH range 10 to 12 the reaction was found to obey the rate expression: ?½d[MnO₄^?]/dt = (k₁ + k₂[OH^?]) [MnO₄^?] [SO₃^2?]. Mechanisms for the two paths involving the formation of a (O₃MnOSO₃)^3? complex prior to the rate-determining step are consistent with the data. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of substituted benzylamines by cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate

Oxidation of meta- and para-substituted benzylamines by cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate (CTAP) to the corresponding aldimines is first order with respect to both the amine and CTAP. Oxidation of deuteriated benzylamine (PhCD₂NH₂) exhibited the presence of a substantial kinetic isotope effect (k _H /k _D = 5.60 at 293 K). This confirmed the cleavage of an α-C-H bond in the rate-determining step. Correlation analyses of the rates of oxidation of 19 monosubstituted benzylamines were performed with various single and multiparametric equations. The rates of the oxidation showed excellent correlations in terms of Yukawa—Tsuno and Brown’s equations. The polar reaction constants are negative. The oxidation exhibited an extensive cross-conjugation, in the transition state, between the electron-donating substituents and the reaction centre. A mechanism involving a hydride-ion transfer from the amine to CTAP in the rate-determining step has been proposed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of decomposition of intermediate complex during oxidation of pectate polysaccharide by potassium permanganate in alkaline solutions

The kinetics of decomposition of an [Pect·Mn^VIO₄^2?] intermediate complex have been investigated spectrophotometrically at various temperatures of 15–30°C and a constant ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm^?3. The decomposition reaction was found to be first‐order in the intermediate concentration. The results showed that the rate of reaction was base‐catalyzed. The kinetic parameters have been evaluated and found to be ΔS^≠ = ? 190.06 ± 9.84 J mol^?1 K^?1, ΔH^≠ = 19.75 ± 0.57 kJ mol^?1, and ΔG^≠ = 76.39 ± 3.50 kJ mol^?1, respectively. A reaction mechanism consistent with the results is discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 35: 67–72, 2003     

Kinetics of partition between aqueous solutions of salts and bulk liquid membranes containing neutral carriers

The relationship between the rates of transport of alkali metal cations through a bulk chloroform liquid membrane containing polynactin or dibenzo-18-crown-6 as neutral carrier and the rates of uptake and release of cation at the interfaces between aqueous phase and membrane phase were investigated. The fluxes of cations through the membranes and cation-distribution ratios between aqueous solution and membrane were strongly dependent on the anions present. The distribution ratio increased in the following order: Cl^? < NO₃^? < SCN^? < ClO₄^?, and the flux increased in the same order as the distribution ratio, except for the fluxes of KSCN and KClO₄ with polynactin. In the case of polynactin, the flux of KSCN was comparable to that of KClO₄ in spite of the fact that KSCN was less soluble in the membrane than was KClO₄. In order to clarify the cause of this apparently contradictory behavior, the apparent rate constants of uptake and release of potassium were determined independently using an equation derived from Fick's first law of diffusion. From the rates of uptake and release, it was suggested that the overall rate of cation transport through the membrane was dependent on the rate of release rather than that of uptake.
