A kinetic and mechanistic study on oxidation of Isoniazid drug by alkaline diperiodatocuprate(III) – A free radical intervention

The kinetics of oxidation of isoniazid (INH) by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.05 mol dm⁻³ has been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction showed first order kinetics both in [DPC] and [INH] and negative less than unit order, both in alkali and periodate concentrations under the experimental conditions. Intervention of free radicals was observed in the reaction. Products of the reaction, isonicotinic acid and copper(II) have no effect on the rate of reaction. Ionic strength and dielectric constant did not affect the rate of reaction. Based on the observed orders and experimental evidences, a mechanism involving the monoperiodatocuprate(III) (MPC) as the reactive oxidant species has been proposed. The main products were identified by I.R, N.M.R. and GC-MS spectral studies. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were evaluated. Investigations at different temperatures allowed the determination of the activation parameters with respect to the slow step of proposed mechanism. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate laws are consistent with the observed kinetics.

Determination of the nature of the diperiodatocuprate(III) species in aqueous alkaline medium through a kinetic and mechanistic study on the oxidation of iodide ion

The nature of the diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) species present in aqueous alkaline medium has been investigated by a kinetic and mechanistic study on the oxidation of iodide by DPC. The reaction kinetics were studied over the 1.0 × 10^–3–0.1 mol dm^–3 alkali range. The reaction order with respect to DPC, as well as iodide, was found to be unity when [DPC] [I^–]. In the 1.0 × 10^–3–1.0 × 10^–2 mol dm^–3 alkali region, the rate decreased with increase in the alkali concentration and a plot of the pseudo-first order rate constant, k versus 1/[OH^–] was linear. Above 5.0 × 10^–2 mol dm^–3, a plot of k versus [OH^–] was also linear with a non-zero intercept. An increase in ionic strength of the reaction mixtures showed no effect on k at low alkali concentrations, whereas at high concentrations an increase in ionic strength leads to an increase in k. A plot of 1/k versus [periodate] was linear with an intercept in both alkali ranges. Iodine was found to accelerate the reaction at the three different alkali concentrations employed. The observed results indicated the following equilibria for DPC.[Cu(H₂IO₆)₂]^3- [Cu(H₂IO₆)]^- + H₂IO₆ ^3- [Cu(H₂IO₆)] + OH^- [Cu(HIO₆)]^- + H₂OA suitable mechanism has been proposed on the basis of these equilibria to account for the kinetic results.

A comparative study of ruthenium(III) catalysed oxidation of L-leucine and L-isoleucine by alkaline permanganate. A kinetic and mechanistic approach

The kinetics of the Ru^III-catalysed oxidation of L-leucine and L-isoleucine by alkaline permanganate were studied and compared, spectrophotometrically using a rapid kinetic accessory. The reaction is first order with respect to [oxidant] and [catalyst] with an apparently less than unit order in [substrate] and [alkali] respectively. The results suggest the formation of a complex between the amino acid and the hydroxylated species of ruthenium(III). The complex reacts further with the alkaline permanganate species in a rate-determining step, resulting in the formation of a free radical, which again reacts with the alkaline permanganate species in a subsequent fast step to yield the products. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were calculated. There is a good agreement between observed and calculated rate constants under different experimental conditions. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism for both the amino acids were calculated and discussed. Of the two amino acids, leucine is oxidised at a faster rate than isoleucine.     

A kinetic and mechanistic study of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexacyanoferrate(III) in aqueous ethanoic acid

The kinetics of oxidation of As^IIIby Fe(CN)₆ ^3– has been studied spectrophotometrically in 60% AcOH–H₂O containing 4.0moldm^–3HCl. The oxidation is made possible by the difference in redox potentials. The reaction is first order each in [Fe(CN)₆ ^3–] and [As^III]. Amongst the initially added products, Fe(CN)₆ ^4– retards the reaction and As^Vdoes not. Increasing the acid concentration at constant chloride concentration accelerates the reaction. At constant acidity increasing chloride concentration increases the reaction rate, which reaches a maximum and then decreases. H₂Fe(CN)₆ ^–, is the active species of Fe(CN)₆ ^3–, while AsCl₅ ^2– in an ascending portion and AsCl₂ ⁺ in a descending portion are considered to be the active species of As^III. A suitable reaction mechanism is proposed and the reaction constants of the different steps involved have been evaluated.

In view of these kinetics phenomena, a plausible mechanism is proposed and the rate equations derived from the mechanism can explain all experimental results. The activation parameters along with the rate constants of the rate-determining step are calculated.

The oxidation of trans-stilbene, phenylacetylene, and diphenylacetylene by Tl(OAc)₃ in aqueous acetic acid medium in the presence of HClO₄ follows the rate law in [H⁺] of 0.1–1.0M, the [H⁺] dependence below 0.1M being marginal.
