The kinetics of oxidation of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) by diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.25 mol/dm⁻³ has been studied spectrophotometrically.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of aurate(I) by peroxydisulphate in aqueous hydrochloric acid

The reaction between Au(I), generated by reaction of thallium(I) with Au(III), and peroxydisulphate was studied in 5 mol dm^?3 hydrochloric acid. The reaction proceeds with the formation of an ion‐pair between peroxydisulphate and chloride ion as the Michealis–Menten plot was linear with intercept. The ion‐pair thus formed oxidizes AuCl₂^? in a slow two‐electron transfer step without any formation of free radicals. The ion‐pair formation constant and the rate constant for the slow step were determined as 113 ± 20 dm^?3 mol^?1 and 5.0 ± 1.0 × 10^?2 dm³ mol^?1 s^?1, respectively. The reaction was retarded by hydrogen ion, and formation of unreactive protonated form of the reductant, HAuCl₂, causes the rate inhibition. From the hydrogen ion dependence of the reaction rate, the protonation constant was calculated to be as 0.6 ± 0.1 dm³ mol^?1. The activation parameters were determined and the values support the proposed mechanism. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 589–594, 2002

The oxidation of D ‐mannitol by cerium(IV) has been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous sulfuric acid medium at 25°C at constant ionic strength of 1.60 mol dm^?3.

Two-step one-electron transfer reaction of chromium(III) complex containing levodopa and uridine with N-bromosuccinimide

[Cr^III(LD)(Urd)(H₂O)₄](NO₃)₂?·?3H₂O (LD?=?Levodopa; Urd?=?uridine) was prepared and characterized. The product of the oxidation reaction was examined using HPLC. Kinetics of the oxidation of [Cr^III(LD)(Urd)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in an aqueous solution was studied spectrophotometrically, with 1.0–5.0?×?10^?4?mol?dm^?3 complex, 0.5–5.0?×?10^?2?mol?dm^?3 NBS, 0.2–0.3?mol?dm^?3 ionic strength (I), and 30–50°C. The reaction is first order with respect to [Cr^III] and [NBS], decreases as pH increases in the range 5.46–6.54 and increases with the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 0.0–1.0?×?10^?3?mol?dm^?3). Activation parameters including enthalpy, ΔH*, and entropy, ΔS*, were calculated. The experimental rate law is consistent with a mechanism in which the protonated species is more reactive than its conjugate base. It is assumed that the two-step one-electron transfer takes place via an inner-sphere mechanism. A mechanism for this reaction is proposed and supported by an excellent isokinetic relationship between ΔH* and ΔS* for some Cr^III complexes. Formation of [Cr^III(LD)(Urd)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ in vivo probably occurs with patients who administer the anti-Parkinson drug (Levodopa), since Cr^III is a natural food element. This work provides an opportunity to identify the nature of such interactions in vivo similar to that in vitro.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of 2-Aminoethanol and 3-Amino-1-propanol by diperiodatoargentate(III) in alkaline medium

Influence of copper(II) catalyst on the oxidation of l-histidine by platinum(IV) in alkaline medium: a kinetic and mechanistic study

The kinetics of oxidation of l-histidine (His) by platinum(IV) in the absence and presence of copper(II) catalyst was studied using spectrophotometry in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm^?3 and at 25 °C. In both cases, the reactions exhibit a 1:1 stoichiometry ([His]:[Pt^IV]). The rate of the uncatalyzed reaction is dependent on the first power of each of the concentrations of oxidant, substrate and alkali. The catalyzed path shows a first-order dependence on both [Pt^IV] and [Cu^II], but the order with respect to both [His] and [OH^?] is less than unity. The rate constants increase with increasing ionic strength and dielectric constant of the medium. The catalyzed reaction has been shown to proceed via formation of a copper(II)^_histidine intermediate complex, which reacts with the oxidant by an inner-sphere mechanism leading to decomposition of the complex in the rate-determining step. Platinum(IV) is reduced to platinum(II) by the substrate in a one-step two-electron transfer process. This is followed by other fast steps, giving rise to the oxidation products which were identified as 2-imidazole acetaldehyde, ammonia and carbon dioxide. A tentative reaction mechanism is suggested, and the associated rate laws are deduced. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism are reported and discussed.     

A kinetic study of oxidation of 1,4‐dioxane by diperiodatonickelate(IV) in aqueous alkaline medium

The kinetics of oxidation of 1,4‐Dioxane (Dio) by Diperiodatonickelate (IV) (DPN) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 1.5 mol dm⁻³ was studied spectrophotometrically.

A mechanism based on experimental results, involving two paths, one [Dio] dependent and the other [Dio] independent is proposed. The constants involved in the mechanism are evaluated. There is a good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants at varying conditions of experiments. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 31: 789–796, 1999
