Kinetics and mechanism of osmium (VIII) and ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of aliphatic amines by chloramine-T in alkaline and perchloric acid media

The kinetics of oxidation of aliphatic amines viz., ethylamine, n-butylamine, isopropylamine (primary amines), diethylamine (secondary amine), and triethylamine (tertiary amine) by chloramine-T have been studied in NaOH medium catalyzed by osmium (VIII) and in perchloric acid medium with ruthenium(III) as catalyst. The order of reaction in [Chloramine-T] is always found to be unity. A zero order dependence of rate with respect to each [OH^?] and [Amine] has been observed during the osmium(VIII) catalyzed oxidation of diethylamine and triethylamine while a retarding effect of [OH^?] or [Amine] on the rate of oxidation is observed in case of osmium(VIII) catalyzed oxidation of primary aliphatic amines. The ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of amines follow almost similar kinetics. The order of reactions in [Amine] or [Acid] decreases from unity at higher amine or acid concentrations. The rate of oxidation is proportional to {k′ and k″ [Ruthenium(III)] or [Osmium(VIII)]} where k′ and k″ (having different values in case of ruthenium(III) and osmium(VIII)) are the rate constants for uncatalyzed and catalyzed path respectively. The suitable mechanism consisting with the kinetic data is proposed in each case and discussed.     

Kinetics of oxidation of reducing sugars by catalytic amount of osmium(VIII) in presence of periodate

The kinetics of oxidation of some reducing sugars viz. glucose, galactose, fructose, maltose, and lactose by osmium(VIII) in presence of sodium metaperiodate in alkaline medium have been investigated. The reactions are zero order in periodate. The order of reaction in substrate and OH^? decreases from unity to zero at higher [substrate] or [OH^?], respectively. Rate of oxidation is proportional to [Osmium(VIII)]. Osmium(VIII) serves as an effective oxidant which oxidizes reducing sugars and itself reduces to osmium(VI). Role of IO₄^? is to regenerate osmium(VIII) from osmium(VI). An evidence for the complex formation between osmium(VIII) and reducing sugar has also been obtained. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kinetics and mechanism of Os(VIII)-catalyzed hexacyanoferrate(III) oxidation of α amino acids in alkaline medium

The kinetics of the Os(VIII)-catalyzed oxidation of glycine, alanine, valine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, lycine, and glutamic acid by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) reveal that these reactions are zero order in hexacyanoferrate(III) and first order in Os(VIII). The order in amino acid as well as in alkali is 1 at [amino acid] ?2.5 × 10^?2M and [OH^?] ?1.3 × 10^?M, but less than unity at higher concentrations of amino acids or alkali. The active oxidizing species under the experimental conditions is OsO₄(H₂O) (OH)^?. The ferricyanide is merely used up to regenerate the Os(VIII) species from Os(VI) formed during the reaction. The structural influence of amino acids on the reactivity has been discussed. The amino acids during oxidation are shown to be degraded through intermediate keto acids. The kinetic data are accommodated by considering the interaction between the conjugate base of the amino acids and the active oxidizing species of Os(VIII) to form a transient complex in the primary rate-determining step. The catalytic effect of hexacyanoferrate(II) has been rationalized.     

Osmium(VIII)-Catalyzed Oxidation of Some Cyclic Amines by Potassium Hexacyanoferrate(III) in Alkaline Media: a Kinetics and Mechanistic Study

Reactions of morpholine, piperidine, and piperazine with Os(VIII)-catalyzed hexacyanoferrate(III) in alkaline media to produce the corresponding lactam have been studied at constant temperature and ionic strength. The reactions followed first-order kinetics with respect to [amine] and [Os(VIII)] but were independent of [Fe(CN)₆ ^3-] and [OH^-]. The effects of introduced electrolytes, potassium hexacyanoferrate(II), relative permitivity, and temperature have also been studied. A mechanism accounting for these results has been proposed.     

Pd(II) inhibition during hexacyanoferrate(III) oxidation of sugars: A kinetic study

An inhibition effect of PdCl₂ on the rate of oxidation of sugars by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) has been observed. The order of reactions in hexacyanoferrate(III) and OH⁻ is zero and unity, respectively, while that in sugars decreases from unity at higher sugar concentration. The kinetic data and spectrophotometric evidence support the formation of {Pd^II − (sugar)} and {Pd^II − sugar)₂} complexes and their resistance to react with Fe(CN)₆³⁻ © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetics and mechanism of palladium (II) chloride catalyzed oxidation of allyl alcohol by potassium hexacyanoferrate (III)

A kinetic study of the oxidation of allyl alcohol by potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) in the presence of palladium (II) chloride is reported. The reaction was observed by measuring the disappearance of the potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) spectrophotometrically. The reaction is first order with respect to allyl alcohol and palladium (II) chloride, inverse second order with respect to [Cl^?], and zero order with respect to potassium hexacyanoferrate (III). The rate is found to increase linearly with hydroxyl ion concentration.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the ruthenium(III)-catalysed oxidation of aminoalcohols by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

Summary The kinetics of the ruthenium(III)-catalysed oxidation of aminoalcoholsviz. 2-aminoethanol and 3-aminopropanol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) has been studied spectrophotometrically. The reactions are rapid initially, then follow a second order rate dependence with respect to each of the catalyst and the oxidant. The second order rate dependence with respect to ruthenium(III) was observed for the first time. The order in [Aminoalcohol] and [OH^–] is unity in each case. A suitable mechanism, consistent with the observed kinetic data is postulated.     

Kinetics and mechanism of osmium(VIII)-catalyzed oxidation of 1,4-thioxane by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

The kinetics of oxidation of 1,4-thioxane (1,4-oxathiane) by alkaline K₃Fe(CN)₆ have been studied in the presence of Os^VIII as catalyst. The reaction is first order in hexacyanoferrate(III) and Os^VIII. The order in thioxane and OH^– is zero. While added salts and ethanol have a negligible effect on the oxidation rate, K₄Fe(CN)₆ retards it. On the basis of kinetic evidence, a mechanism has been proposed.     

Kinetic study of ruthenium(VI)‐catalyzed oxidation of 2‐butanol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

The oxidation kinetics of 2‐butanol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) catalyzed by sodium ruthenate has been studied spectrophotometrically. The initial rates method was used for kinetic analysis. The reaction rate shows a fractional‐order in [hexacyanoferrate(III)] and [substrate] and a first‐order dependence on [Ru(VI)]. The dependence on [OH⁻] is rather more complicated. The kinetic data suggest a reaction mechanism involving two active catalytic species. Each one of these species forms an intermediate complex with the substrate. The attack of these complexes by hexacyanoferrate(III), in a slow step, produces ruthenium(V) complexes which are oxidized in subsequent steps to regenerate the catalyst species. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Kinetics and mechanisms of oxidation by metal ions. Part XIII. Osmium(VIII)-catalysed oxidation of cycloalkanols by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III)

Summary The kinetics of OsO₄-catalysed oxidation of cyclopentanol, cyclohexanol and cyclooctanol by alkaline hexacyanoferrate(III) have been studied at low [OH^–] so that the equilibrium between alcohol and alkoxide ion is not unduly shifted towards the latter. The reaction shows a first-order dependence in [OH^–]. The order of the reaction with respect to cycloalcohol is fractional, indicating the formation of an intermediate complex with Os^VIII since the order with respect to hexacyanoferrate(III) ion is zero. The order with respect to Os^VIII may be expressed by the equation k_obs=a+b[Os^VIII]. The analysis of the rate data indicates a significant degree of complex formation between [OsO₃(OH)₃]^– and ROH. It was found that the bimolecular rate constant k for the redox reaction between complex and OH^–k₁, the forward rate constant for the formation of alkoxide ion. The activation parameters of these rate constants are reported.     

Oxidation of d-Glucose by Silver(III) Periodate Complex in the Presence of Ru(III)/Os(VIII) as a Homogeneous Catalyst: A Comparative Mechanistic Study (Stopped Flow Technique)

The kinetics of the oxidation of ruthenium(III) (Ru(III)) and osmium(VIII) (Os(VIII)) catalyzed oxidation of d-glucose (d-Glu) by silver(III) periodate complex (DPA) in aqueous alkaline medium at 298 K and constant ionic strength 0.003 mol·dm^?3 was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between d-Glu and DPA in alkaline medium exhibits 1:2 stoichiometry in both catalyzed reactions (d-Glu:DPA). The main products were identified as D-arabinonic acid and formic acid by spot tests, GC–MS spectra and chromatographic techniques. The reaction orders with respect to various species concentrations were determined. Also, the active species of catalyst and oxidant have been identified. Probable mechanisms were proposed. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism were computed and discussed and thermodynamic quantities were also calculated. It has been observed that the catalytic efficiency for the present reaction is in the order Os(VIII) > Ru(III).     

Kinetics and mechanism of osmium(VIII)-catalysed and uncatalysed oxidation of aminoalcohols by chloramine-T in alkaline medium

Summary The kinetics of osmium(VIII)-catalysed oxidation of aminoalcohols,viz., 2-aminoethanol, 3-aminopropanol, diethanolamine and triethanolamine, by chloramine-T in alkaline medium have been investigated. The reactions follow a first-order-rate dependence with respect to oxidant. The order in [aminoalcohol] decreases from unity at higher concentrations of aminoalcohols while that in [OH^–] is nearly –1. The oxidation rate is directly proportional to [osmium(VIII)] in primary amino-alcohols, while that is proportional to {k+k [osmium(VIII)]} (where k and k are rate constants) in diethanolamine and triethanolamine. The uncatalysed oxidation of diethanolamine and triethanolamine follows a first-order-rate dependence in each of the oxidant and the sustrate. Suitable mechanisms consistent with the observed kinetic results are proposed.     

Preparation and Characterization of Mixed‐Valent Osmium Hexacyanoferrate/Silicomolybdate Hybrid Films and Their Electrocatalytic Properties

A polynuclear mixed‐valent osmium hexacyanoferrate/silicomolybdate film electrode has been prepared using repetitive cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammograms have been recorded for the deposition of a mixed‐valent osmium hexacyanoferrate/silicomolybdate hybrid film directly from the mixture of Os³⁺, Fe(CN₆)^3?, and SiMo₁₂O₄₀^4? ions from the acidic aqueous solutions. The polynuclear mixed‐valent osmium hexacyanoferrate/silicomolybdate film exhibited four redox couples. The electrocatalytic properties of the osmium hexacyanoferrate/silicomolybdate film electrode have been studied. The modified electrode has shown good electrocatalytic properties towards the oxidation of dopamine, ascorbic acid, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and reduction of IO₃^?, Fe³⁺.     

Spectral and Mechanistic Investigation of the Osmium(VIII) Catalyzed Oxidation of Diclofenac Sodium by the Copper(III) Periodate Complex in Aqueous Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of the osmium(VIII) (Os(VIII)) catalyzed oxidation of diclofenac sodium (DFS) by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) in aqueous alkaline medium has been studied spectrophotometrically at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol⋅dm⁻³. The reaction showed first order kinetics in [Os(VIII)] and [DPC] and less than unit order with respect to [DFS] and [alkali]. The rate decreased with increase in [periodate]. The reaction between DFS and DPC in alkaline medium exhibits 1:2 [DFS]:[DPC] stoichiometry. However, the order in [DFS] and [OH⁻] changes from first order to zero order as their concentration increases. Changes in the ionic strength and dielectric constant did not affect the rate of reaction. The oxidation products were identified by LC-ESI-MS, NMR, and IR spectroscopic studies. A possible mechanism is proposed. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism were calculated. The catalytic constant (K _C) was also calculated for Os(VIII) catalysis at the studied temperatures. From plots of log ₁₀ K _C versus 1/T, values of activation parameters have been evaluated with respect to the catalytic reaction. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism were computed and discussed, and thermodynamic quantities were also determined. The active osmium(VIII) and copper(III) periodate species have been identified.

The kinetics of oxidation of some aldoses, amino sugars and methylated sugars by osmium (VIII) have been studied spectrophotometrically in alkaline medium. The reactions are first‐order with respect to both [sugar]≤9.0×10⁻³ mol dm⁻³ and [OH⁻]≤10.0×10⁻² mol dm⁻³ but tends toward zero order with respect to each at higher concentration. Activation parameters of the reactions have been calculated and plausible reaction mechanisms have been suggested. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 31: 477–483, 1999     

Kinetik und Mechanismus der durch Osmiumtetroxid katalysierten Oxidation von Cyclohexanol und Methylcyclohexanol durch alkalische Hexacyanoferrat(III)-ionen

Kinetics of the OsO₄ catalysed oxidation of the above mentioned cyclic alcohols by hexacyanoferrate(III) in alkaline medium has been studied. The effect of variation of the concentration of osmium tetroxide on the reaction rate shows the direct dependence. The first order kinetics observed at lower concentration of the organic substrates tends towards zero order at higher concentrations. Similarly zero order kinetics was also observed with respect to hexacyanoferrate(III). The order with respect to hydroxide ion is unity at its lower concentrations and changing towards lower order at higher concentrations. On the basis of these results a probable reaction mechanism has been set out and the oxidation products have been confirmed.     

Electron transfer to trans-dihydroxotetraoxoosmate(VIII). II. Kinetics of the oxidation of dimethylsulfoxide in aqueous alkaline media

The kinetics of the oxidation of dimethylsulfoxide by oxohydroxoosmate(VIII) complex ions in alkaline media follow pseudo-first-order disappearance in Os(VIII). The values of the observed pseudo-first-order rate constant are linearly dependent on initial dimethylsulfoxide concentrations in a fortyfold range, and increase with increasing [OH^?], leveling off at higher relative [OH^?]. The results are interpreted in terms of outer sphere interactions involving dimethylsulfoxide and various species of the Os(VIII) complex. The more nucleophilic dihydroxotetraoxoosmate(VIII) ion reacts about 50 times faster than the trihydroxotrioxoosmate(VIII) species.     

Intercalation of hydrotalcites with hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III)—a thermoRaman spectroscopic study

Raman spectroscopy using a hot stage indicates that the intercalation of hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III) in the interlayer space of a Mg, Al hydrotalcites leads to layered solids where the intercalated species is both hexacyanoferrate(II) and (III). Raman spectroscopy shows that depending on the oxidation state of the initial hexacyanoferrate partial oxidation and reduction takes place upon intercalation. For the hexacyanoferrate(III) some partial reduction occurs during synthesis. The symmetry of the hexacyanoferrate decreases from O_h existing for the free anions to D_3d in the hexacyanoferrate interlayered hydrotalcite complexes. Hot stage Raman spectroscopy reveals the oxidation of the hexacyanoferrate(II) to hexacyanoferrate(III) in the hydrotalcite interlayer with the removal of the cyanide anions above 250 °C. Thermal treatment causes the loss of CN ions through the observation of a band at 2080 cm⁻¹. The hexacyanoferrate (III) interlayered Mg, Al hydrotalcites decomposes above 150 °C.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of the drug mephenesin by bis(hydrogenperiodato)argentate(III) complex anion

Mephenesin is being used as a central‐acting skeletal muscle relaxant. Oxidation of mephenesin by bis(hydrogenperiodato)argentate(III) complex anion, [Ag(HIO₆)₂]^5?, has been studied in aqueous alkaline medium. The major oxidation product of mephenesin has been identified as 3‐(2‐methylphenoxy)‐2‐ketone‐1‐propanol by mass spectrometry. An overall second‐order kinetics has been observed with first order in [Ag(III)] and [mephenesin]. The effects of [OH^?] and periodate concentration on the observed second‐order rate constants k′ have been analyzed, and accordingly an empirical expression has been deduced: k′ = (k_a + k_b[OH^?])K₁/{f([OH^?])[IO^?₄]_tot + K₁}, where [IO^?₄]_tot denotes the total concentration of periodate, k_a = (1.35 ± 0.14) × 10^?2M^?1s^?1 and k_b = 1.06 ± 0.01 M^?2s^?1 at 25.0°C, and ionic strength 0.30 M. Activation parameters associated with k_a and k_b have been calculated. A mechanism has been proposed to involve two pre‐equilibria, leading to formation of a periodato‐Ag(III)‐mephenesin complex. In the subsequent rate‐determining steps, this complex undergoes inner‐sphere electron transfer from the coordinated drug to the metal center by two paths: one path is independent of OH^? whereas the other is facilitated by a hydroxide ion. In the appendix, detailed discussion on the structure of the Ag(III) complex, reactive species, as well as pre‐equilibrium regarding the oxidant is provided. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
