Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of some simple reducing sugars by permanganate ion in alkaline medium

The kinetics of oxidation of glucose, galactose, fructose, maltose and sucrose by alkaline permanganate anion has been studied. The reactions studied spectrophotometrically over a wide range of experimental conditions show that the rate of the reactions is enhanced by increase in pH, ionic strength, and temperature as well as the reactant concentrations. The mechanism has been proposed to proceed via the formation of enediol intermediate complexes and the order of reactivities of the sugars is fructose > glucose ≈ galactose > maltose > sucrose. The activation parameters were evaluated and lend further support to the proposed mechanism.     

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 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 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.

The oxidation of mandelic acid and nine monosubstituted mandelic acids by acid permanganate, in the presence of fluoride ions, have been studied. The reaction is of first order with respect to each the oxidant, the substrate and hydrogen ions. The kinetic isotope effect, k_H/k_D = 3·76 at 25°. The oxidation exhibits a reaction constant ?+= ?2·23 ± 0·07 at 25°. The oxidation does not induce polymerisation of acrylonitrile and does not show any solvent isotope effect. The activation enthalpies entropies are linearly related (r = 0·979). A mechanism involving transfer of a hydride ion to the oxidant is proposed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of selenium(IV) by permanganate

Summary The oxidation of selenium(IV) by permanganate has been studied kinetically in acid, neutral and alkaline media. The reaction exhibits unit-order dependence on selenium(IV) and permanganate in all the three media. Manganese(VI) retards the reaction in alkaline medium. The rate-limiting step is the same in all the three media, but the stoichiometry is different, being 2:1 in alkaline medium, 2:3 in neutral medium and 2:5 in acid medium. Evidence has been obtained for a one electron-transfer in the rate-determining step.

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.     

Mechanism and kinetics of hypophosphite oxidation by permanganate ion

The kinetics of the permanganate‐hypophosphite redox reaction has been studied over a wide range of pH by using a stopped‐flow technique. It has been found that the reaction leads to the formation of phosphite and orthophosphate, and that the molar ratio of the final products depends on pH. The proposed mechanism of the process was based on the assumption that the first step in the oxidation of hypophosphite is a fast reversible reaction in which an intermediate complex (O₃MnOH₂PO₂)²⁻ is formed. The observed dependence of the reaction rate on pH was attributed to the influence of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions on the decomposition of this complex. The rate constants and the equilibrium constants of elementary reactions are given. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 31: 737–743, 1999     

Mechanism of the oxidation of organic sulphides by permanganate ion

The kinetics of the oxidation of number of aryl methyl, alkyl phenyl, dialkyl and diphenyl sulphides by permanganate ion to yield the sulphoxides, have been studied. The reaction is first order with respect to the sulphide and permanganate and is independent of hydrogen ion concentration. The reaction exhibited negative polar reaction constants and a small degree of steric hindrance. The lack of solvent isotope effect and the observed solvent effect ( m = 0.39 for McSPh) are explained by an electrophilic attack of permanganate-oxygen on the sulphide yielding a polar transition state. A moderate anchimeric assistance was observed in the oxidation ofo-C00Me ando-C00H substituted methyl phenyl sulphide. A mechanism involving a one-step electrophilic oxygen transfer from permanganate ion to the sulphide and a polar product-like transition state, has been proposed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of permanganate oxidation of pectin polysaccharide in acid perchlorate media

The kinetics of oxidation of pectin polysaccharide as a natural polymer by permanganate ion in aqueous perchloric acid at a constant ionic strength of 2.0 mol dm⁻³ has been investigated spectrophotometrically. The reaction time curves showed two distinct stages, the initial stage was relatively slow, followed by an increase in the rate of oxidation at longer times. The results of the initial rates reveal first-order kinetics in permanganate ion and fractional-order with respect to pectin concentration. Kinetic evidence for the formation of an intermediate complex between the polysaccharide and the oxidant is presented. The results obtained at various hydrogen ion concentrations showed that the reaction is acid catalyzed. The added salts lead to the prediction that Mn⁴⁺ and/or Mn³⁺ play an important role in the autoaccleration period kinetics. A tentative reaction mechanism consistent with the kinetic results is discussed.     

Kinetics and mechanism of chromium(III) catalyzed oxidation of 1,10-phenanthroline by alkaline permanganate

The kinetics of chromium(III) catalyzed oxidation of 1,10-phenanthroline by permanganate in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength has been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between permanganate and 1,10-phenanthroline in alkaline medium exhibits 4:1 stoichiometry (KMnO₄:1,10-phenanthroline). The reaction shows first order dependence on [permanganate] and [chromium(III)] and less than unit order dependence in 1,10-phenanthroline, zero order in alkali concentrations. The results suggest the formation of a complex between the 1,10-phenanthroline and the chromium(III) which reacts further with one mole of permanganate species in the rate-determining step, resulting in the formation of a free radical, which again reacts with three moles of permangante species in a subsequent fast step to yield the products. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were evaluated. The activation parameters were computed with respect to the slow step of the mechanism.This revised version was published online in December 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

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.
