Micellar catalyzed hydrolysis of mono-2,3-dichloroaniline phosphate

The kinetics of micellar catalyzed hydrolysis of mono-2,3-dichloroaniline phosphate in the presence of different surfactants has been studied at 303?K. The rate of reaction has been found to be first order with respect to both [substrate] and [HCl]. The cationic micelles of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), anionic micelles of di-octyl sodium sulphosuccinate (AOT), and non-ionic micelles of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) enhanced the rate of reaction to a maximum value and after that the increase in concentration of surfactant decreased the reaction rate. The applicability of different kinetic models has been tested to explain the observed micellar effects. The various thermodynamic activation parameters (E_a, ΔH^≠, ΔS^≠, ΔG^≠) have been evaluated. The added salts viz. KCl, KNO₃, K₂SO₄ enhanced the rate of reaction in the presence of CPC, AOT, and Tween 80 micelles. The kinetic parameters were determined from the rate (surfactant) profile and a suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental finding has been proposed.     

Effect of reactive and non-reactive counterion micelles upon the alkaline degradation of indomethacin

In the present paper, kinetics of alkaline degradation of well known drug, indomethacin (2-[1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methylindol-3-yl]acetic acid), was studied in presence of excess [NaOH]. The rate of hydrolysis of substrate was independent of the [indomethacin] though it increased linearly with increasing the hydroxide ion concentration with a positive slope, suggesting the following rate law: k_obs = k₁[OH⁻]. Cationic surfactants having non-reactive ions (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB and cetyltrimethylammonium sulfate (CTA)₂SO₄) first increased the rate constants at lower concentrations and then decreased it at higher concentrations while in case of the surfactant with reactive counterions (cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, CTAOH) the rate increases sharply at lower concentrations of surfactant until it reaches to a plateau in contrast to the appearance of maxima in case of CTAB and (CTA)₂SO₄. Anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), inhibited the reaction rate at all concentrations used in the study. Pseudophase ion-exchange model was used for analyzing the effect of cationic micelles while the inhibition by SDS micelles was fitted using the Menger–Portnoy model. The effect of salts (NaCl, NaBr and (CH₃)₄NBr) was also seen on the hydrolysis of indomethacin and it was found that all salts inhibited the rate of reaction. The inhibition followed the trend NaCl < NaBr < (CH₃)₄NBr.     

Kinetic study of oxidation of galactose by N-bromo phthalimide in the presence of cationic micelle in acidic medium

The kinetics of micellar catalyzed oxidation of galactose by N-bromophthalimide was studied in the presence of acidic medium at 308?K. The oxidation reaction exhibits first-order kinetics with respect to oxidant (N-bromophthalimide), fractional order with respect to substrate (galactose) and positive fractional order with respect to HClO₄ on the rate of reaction. The rate of the reaction increased with decreasing the dielectric constant of the medium. With a progressive increase in the concentration of CTAB, the rate of reaction increased and after reaching peak k _obs, decreased at higher concentrations of CTAB. There catalytic roles are best explained by Berezin??s model. The influence of salts on the reaction rate was also studied. The various activation parameters have been calculated. The rate constant and binding constant with the surfactant have also been evaluated. A suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental findings has been proposed.     

Kinetics of colloidal MnO<Subscript>2</Subscript> reduction by L-arginine in absence and presence of surfactants

The kinetics of the oxidation of L-arginine by water-soluble form of colloidal manganese dioxide has been studied using visible spectrophotometry in aqueous as well as micellar media. To obtain the rate constants as functions of [L-arginine], [MnO₂] and [HClO₄], pseudo-first-order conditions are maintained in each kinetic run. The first-order-rate is observed with respect to [MnO₂], whereas fractional-order-rates are determined in both [L-arginine] and [HClO₄]. Addition of sodium pyrophosphate and sodium fluoride enhanced the rate of the reaction. The effect of externally added manganese(II) sulphate is complex. It is not possible to predict the exact dependence of the rate constant on manganese(II) concentration, which has a series of reactions with other reactants. The anionic surfactant SDS neither catalyzed nor inhibited the oxidation reaction, while in presence of cationic surfactant CTAB the reaction is not possible due to flocculation of reaction mixture. The reaction is catalyzed by the nonionic surfactant TX-100 which is explained in terms of the mathematical model proposed by Tuncay et al. Activation parameters have been evaluated using Arrhenius and Eyring equations. On the basis of observed kinetic results, a probable mechanism for the reaction has been proposed which corresponds to fast adsorption of the reductant and hydrogen ion on the surface of colloidal MnO₂.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of L-Alanine by <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-bromophthalimide in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate

The kinetics of oxidation of L-Alanine (Ala) by N-bromophthalimide (NBP) was studied in the presence of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, in acidic medium at 308 K. The rate of reaction was found to have first-order dependence on [NBP], fractional order dependence on [Ala] and inverse fractional order dependence on [H⁺]. The addition of reduced product of the oxidant [Phthalimide] has decreased the rate of reaction. The rate of reaction increased with increase in inorganic salts concentration i.e., [Cl⁻] and [Br⁻], whereas a change in ionic strength of the medium and [Hg(OAc)₂] had no effect on oxidation velocity. The rate of reaction decreased with a decrease in dielectric constant of the medium. CH₃CN was identified as the main oxidation product of the reaction. The various activation parameters have been computed and suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental findings has also been proposed. The micelle-binding constant has been calculated.

Study of the reaction Fe(CN)5(4‐CNpy)3− + S2O82− in aqueous salt and micellar solutions

The reaction Fe(CN)₅(4‐CNpy)³⁻ + S₂O₈²⁻ (4‐CNpy=4‐cyanopyridine) was studied in aqueous salt solutions in the presence of several electrolytes as well as in anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactant solutions. In aqueous salt solutions the noncoulombic interactions seem to be important in determining the positive salt effects observed. The salting effects are influencing the activity coefficients of any participant in the reaction, including those ion pairs which can be formed between the anionic reagents and the cations which come from the added salts. The changes in surfactant concentration in anionic and nonionic surfactant solutions do not affect the reaction rate, which is similar to that in pure water at the same ionic strength. In cationic micellar solutions an increase in the rate constant compared to that in pure water is found; the reaction rate decreasing when the surfactant concentration increases. The kinetic trends can be explained assuming that the reagents are totally bound to the micelles and, therefore, an increase in the surfactant concentration results in a decrease in the reagent concentrations at the micellar phase and thus in a decrease in the observed rate constant. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effect of Cationic Micelles on the Kinetics of Interaction of [Cr(III)-Gly-Gly] with Ninhydrin

The effect of cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the interaction of chromium dipeptide complex ([Cr(III)-Gly-Gly]²⁺) with ninhydrin under varying conditions has been investigated. The rates of the reaction were determined in both water and surfactant micelles in the absence and presence of various organic and inorganic salts at 70 °C and pH 5.0. The reaction followed first- and fractional-order kinetics with respect to [Cr(III)-Gly-Gly²⁺] and [ninhydrin]. Increase in the total concentration of CTAB from 0 to 40×10⁻³ mol·dm⁻³ resulted in an increase in the pseudo-first-order rate constant (kψ) by a factor of ca 3. Quantitative kinetic analysis of kψ−[CTAB] data was performed on the basis of the pseudo-phase model of the micelles. As added salts induce structural changes in micellar systems that may modify the substrate-surfactant interactions, the effect of some inorganic (NaBr, NaCl, Na₂ SO₄) and organic (NaBenz, NaSal, NaTos) salts on the rate was also explored. It was found that the tightly bound counterions (derived from organic salts) were the most effective.     

Oxidative degradation of dipeptide (glycyl–glycine) by water-soluble colloidal manganese dioxide in the aqueous and micellar media

The kinetics of the oxidative degradation of dipeptide glycyl–glycine (Gly-Gly) by water-soluble colloidal MnO₂ in acidic medium has been studied by employing visible spectrophotometer in the aqueous and micellar media at 35 °C. To obtain the rate constants as functions of [Gly-Gly], [MnO₂] and [HClO₄], pseudo-first-order conditions were maintained in each kinetic run. The first-order-rate is observed with respect to [MnO₂], whereas fractional-order-rates are determined in both [Gly-Gly] and [HClO₄]. The addition of sodium pyrophosphate and sodium fluoride has composite effects (catalytic and inhibition). The reaction proceeds through the fast adsorption of Gly-Gly on the surface of the colloidal MnO₂. The observed results are discussed in terms of Michaelis–Menten/Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. The Arrhenius and Eyring equations are found valid for the reaction over a range of temperatures and different activation parameters have been evaluated. A probable reaction mechanism, in agreement with the observed kinetic results, has been proposed and discussed. The influence of changes in the surfactant concentrations on the observed rate constant is also investigated and the reaction followed the same type of kinetic behavior in micellar media. The pseudo-first-order rate constant (k_ψ) is found to increase about two-fold with increase in [TX-100]. The catalytic effect of nonionic surfactant TX-100 is explained in terms of the mathematical model proposed by Tuncay et al.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the redox reaction between malachite green and iron(III) in aqueous and micellar media

The kinetics of the oxidation of malachite green (MG⁺) by Fe(III) were investigated spectrophotometrically by monitoring the absorbance change at 618 nm in aqueous and micellar media at a temperature range 20–40 °C; I = 0.10 mol dm^?3 for [H⁺] range (2.50–15.00) × 10^?4 mol dm^?3. The rate of reaction increases with increasing [H⁺]. The reaction was carried out under pseudo-first-order conditions by taking the [Fe(III)] (>10-fold) the [MG⁺]. A mechanism of the reaction between malachite green and Fe(III) is proposed, and the rate equation derived from the mechanism was consistent with the experimental rate law as follows: Rate = (k ₄ + K ₁ k ₅[H⁺]) [MG⁺][Fe(III)]. The effect of surfactants, such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, a cationic surfactant) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS, an anionic surfactant), on the reaction rate has been studied. CTAB has no effect on the rate of reaction while SDS inhibits it. Also, the effect of ligands on the reaction rate has been investigated. It is proposed that electron transfer proceeds through an outer-sphere mechanism. The enthalpy and the entropy of the activation were calculated using the transition state theory equation.     

Kinetics of the interaction of Cd(II)-histidine complex with ninhydrin in absence and presence of cationic and anionic micelles

Kinetics of the interaction of Cd(II)-histidine complex with ninhydrin has been carried out at pH 5.02 (acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer) under varying conditions of reactant concentrations, temperature, and surfactant concentrations. The order of the reaction with respect to Cd(II)-histidine complex was unity while it was fractional with respect to ninhydrin. On the basis of these studies a mechanism has been proposed. In the absence of the surfactants, the reaction followed rate equation: while, in presence of surfactants, the following rate equation was obeyed: Anionic micelles of sodium dodecyl sulphate catalyze the reaction with the rate reaching a maximum at ca. 0.10 mol dm⁻³ surfactant. The surfactant decreases activation enthalpy and makes it more negative. Cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide strongly inhibit the reaction and increase the activation enthalpy but make the activation entropy more positive than the SDS micelles. Added salts (KNO₃ and NaCl) inhibit the catalysis, and the effect is more with the latter. The rate constants, binding constants with surfactants, and the index of cooperativity have been evaluated. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetic Study of Oxidation of DL-Serine by N-Bromophthalimide in the Presence of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

The kinetics of oxidation of DL-serine (Ser) by N-bromophthalimide (NBP) was studied in the presence of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, in acidic medium at 308 K. The rate of reaction was found to have first-order dependence on [NBP], fractional order dependence on [Ser] and inverse fractional order dependence on [H⁺]. The addition of reduced product of the oxidant [Phthalimide] and [Hg(OAc)₂] has no effect on the rate of reaction. The change in ionic strength of the medium had no effect on oxidation velocity. The rate of reaction increased with increasing [Br^?] and decreased with increasing [Cl^?]. The rate of reaction decreased with decrease in dielectric constant of the medium. OHCH₂CN was identified as the main oxidation product of the reactions. The various activation parameters have been computed. A suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental findings has been proposed. The micelle-binding constant has been calculated.     

Water-soluble colloidal manganese dioxide as an oxidant for l-tyrosine in the absence and presence of non-ionic surfactant TX-100

Water-soluble colloidal manganese dioxide has been used to oxidize l-tyrosine in aqueous-acidic medium. The kinetics of the reaction was studied in the absence and presence of non-ionic surfactant (TX-100) using a spectrophotometric technique. As the reaction was fast under pseudo-first-order conditions ([l-tyrosine]  [MnO₂]), the rate constants as a function of [l-tyrosine], [MnO₂], [HClO₄] and temperature were obtained under second-order conditions. The rate of the reaction increased and decreased with the increase in [l-tyrosine] and [MnO₂], respectively. Perchloric acid, sodium pyrophosphate and sodium fluoride showed catalytic effect. The effect of externally added manganese(II) sulphate is complex. It is not possible to predict the exact dependence of the rate constants on manganese(II) concentration, which has a series of reactions with other reactants. The reaction is inhibited by the non-ionic surfactant TX-100. Activation parameters have been evaluated using Arrhenius and Eyring equations. Based on observed kinetic results, a probable mechanism for the reaction has been proposed which corresponds to fast adsorption of the reductant and hydrogen ion on the surface of colloidal MnO₂ followed by one-step two-electron transfer rate limiting process.     

Influences of Micelle Formation and Added Salts on the Hydrolysis Reaction Rate of p‐Nitrophenyl Benzoate in Aqueous Buffered Media

The hydrolysis reaction rate of p‐nitrophenyl benzoate (p‐NPB) has been examined in aqueous buffer media of pH 9.18, containing surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and chloride (CTAC), or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at 35°C. Although the rate constant [log (k /s⁻¹)] of p‐NPB hydrolysis has once decreased slightly below the critical micelle concentration (CMC) value for CTAB and CTAC, it has begun to increase drastically with micellar formation. With increasing concentrations larger than the CMC value, the log (k /s⁻¹) value has reached the optimal value, i.e., a 140‐ and 200‐fold rate acceleration for CTAB and CTAC, respectively, compared to that without a surfactant. Whereas the anionic surfactant, SDS, has caused only a gradual rate deceleration in the whole concentration range (up to 0.03 mol dm⁻³). Increases in pH of the buffer have resulted in increases of the hydrolysis rate. In the CTAB micellar solution, the remarkably enhanced rate has been retarded significantly by the addition of only 0.10 mol dm⁻³ bromide salts. The effects of rate retardation caused by the added salts follows in the order of NaBr > Me₄NBr > Et₄NBr > Pr₄NBr > n‐Bu₄NBr. In the absence of surfactant, however, the addition of the bromide salts has accelerated the hydrolysis rate, except for the metallic salt of NaBr, with the order of Me₄NBr < Et₄NBr < Pr₄NBr < n‐Bu₄NBr. In the CTAC micellar solution, similar rate retardation effects have been observed in the presence of chloride salts (NaCl, Et₄NCl, and n‐Bu₄NCl). The effects of added salts have been interpreted from the viewpoints of the changes in activity of the OH⁻ ion and/or the nucleophilicities of the anions from the added salts.     

Kinetics,mechanism and cloud point measurements in the oxidative degradation of non-ionic Triton X-100 surfactant in acidic permanganate solutions

The polyoxyethylene chain of non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100 [4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl) phenyl polyethylene glycol,TX-100] was degraded by permanganate in the presence of HClO₄. The oxidative degradation rate and cloud point have been obtained as a function of [surfactant], [permanganate], [HClO₄], and temperature. Dependence of the reaction rate on adding inorganic salts (Na₄P₂O₇, NaF and MnCl₂) was also examined. The oxidation rate increased with increase in [TX-100] and [H⁺]. The higher order kinetics with respect to [TX-100] at lower [H⁺] shifted to lower order at higher [H⁺]. The cloud point of TX-100 (67°C) shifted to lower temperature (23±0.5°C) after oxidative degradation of the polyoxyethylene chain. Evidence of complex formation between TX-100 and MnO ₄ ⁻ was obtained spectrophotometrically. Presence of the primary alcoholic (–OH) group in the TX-100 skeleton is responsible for the degradation of oxyethylene chain. Both monomeric and aggregated TX-100 molecules are oxidized by permanganate. A catalytic oxidation mechanism is proposed on the basis of the experimental findings.     

Effect of Anionic Surfactant on the Oxidation of DL-Aspartic Acid by N-Bromophthalimide: A Kinetic Study

The kinetics of oxidation of DL-Aspartic acid (Asp) by N-bromophthalimide (NBP) was studied in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in acidic medium at 308 K. The rate of reaction was found to have first-order dependence on [NBP], fractional order dependence on [Asp] and inverse fractional order dependence on [H⁺]. The addition of reduced product of the oxidant, that is, [Phthalimide] has decreased the rate of reaction. The rate of reaction increased with increase in inorganic salts concentration, whereas a change in [Cl^?], ionic strength of the medium and [Hg(OAc)₂] had no effect on the oxidation velocity. The rate of reaction decreased with a decrease in dielectric constant of the medium. COOH-CH₂-CN was identified as the main oxidation product of the reactions. The various activation parameters have been computed. A suitable reaction mechanism consistent with the experimental findings has been proposed. The micelle-binding constant has been calculated.     

Organothallium compounds. Study of the iodination of dibutylthallium salts by molecular iodine in dioxane

The kinetics of the reaction of dibutylthallium salts with iodine in dioxane were studied. The reaction rate depends appreciably on illumination, and the process as a whole is photochemical. The contribution of the dark reaction is insignificant. The reactivity of dibutylthallium salts depends on the counterion and changes in the following order: Bu₂TlBF₄<Bu₂TlOCOCF₃<Bu₂TlOAc<Bu₂TlCl<Bu₂TlBr<Bu₂TlOOCPrⁱ. A radical mechanism for the reaction was proposed.     

Study on the Phenolic Oxidation by H2O2 Using Metallomicelles Composed of Dinuclear Copper(II) Complex as Synthetic Peroxidases

A dinuclear copper(II) complex [Cu₂(oxheel)] was synthesized and its structure was analyzed. This compound was then mixed with a surfactant (Brij35 or LSS) to form a metallomicelle, which would catalyze the phenol oxidation with the hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The reaction mechanism and the mathematic model for the kinetics of this reaction were proposed, and the effect of the molar ratio between H₂O₂ and catalyst, of the temperature and of the pH levels on the rate of catalytic reaction were studied.     

Kinetics of alkaline fading of methyl violet in micellar solutions of surfactants: Comparing Piszkiewicz's,Berezin's,and pseudophase ion-exchange models

The micellar effect of surfactants of various types on the rate of the reaction between methyl violet and hydroxide ion is studied. The absorption spectra show that the cation of methyl violet is bound by micelles of all types at proper concentrations of surfactants. The observed rate constant in micellar systems containing nonionic Brij-35, zwitterionic 3-(dimethyldodecylammonio)-propanesulfonate, cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and hydroxide surfactants is higher, whereas in solutions of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate is lower than that one in the surfactant-free system. Piszkiewicz's, Berezin's, and pseudophase ion-exchange models of the kinetic micellar effect are used for the treatment of the dependences of the above-mentioned constants on the surfactant concentration. The values of the corresponding kinetic parameters are compared and discussed. The influence of nonionic, zwitterionic, and anionic micelles on the reaction rate is discussed on the basis of medium and concentration kinetic effects. The character of the cationic micelles effect is somewhat paradoxical. Although the observed pseudo–first-order reaction rate constant substantially increases in the presence of such micelles, the second order-rate constant in these micelles is lower than the corresponding value in surfactant-free aqueous solution. As a possible explanation, the decrease in the reactivity of the HO^– ions is proposed, owing to their electrostatic association with the cationic headgroups (“diverting effect”).     

Synthesis,CMC determination and influence of the micelles, β-cyclodextrin,ionic liquids and liposome(dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) vesicles on the kinetics of an outer-sphere electron transfer reaction

The surfactant–cobalt(III) complex, cis-[Co(trien)(4AMP)(DA)](ClO₄)₃, trien = triethylenetetramine, 4AMP = 4-aminopyridine, DA = dodecylamine was synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic and physico-chemical techniques. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of this surfactant–cobalt(III) complex in aqueous solution was found out from conductance measurements. The conductivity data (at 303, 308, 313, 318 and 323 K) were used for the evaluation of the temperature-dependent CMC and the thermodynamics of micellization (ΔG _m ^° , ΔH_m and ΔS _m ^° ). Also the kinetics of reduction of this surfactant–cobalt(III) complex by hexacyanoferrate(II) ion in micelles, β-cyclodextrin, ionic liquids (ILs) and in liposome vesicles (DPPC) media were studied at different temperature. The rate constant for the electron transfer reaction in micelles was found to increase with increase in the initial concentration of the surfactant–cobalt(III) complex. This peculiar behaviour of dependence of second-order rate constant on the initial concentration of one of the reactants has been attributed to the presence of various concentration of micelles under different initial concentration of the surfactant–cobalt(III) complex in the reaction medium. Inclusion of the long aliphatic chain of the surfactant complex ion into β-cyclodextrin leads to decrease in the rate constant. Below the phase transition temperature of DPPC, the rate decreased with increasing concentration of DPPC, while above the phase transition temperature the rate increased with increasing concentration of DPPC. It is concluded that below the phase transition temperature, there is an accumulation of surfactant–cobalt(III) complex at the interior of the vesicle membrane through hydrophobic effects, and above the phase transition temperature the surfactant–cobalt(III) complex is released from the interior to the exterior surface of the vesicle. In the presence of ionic liquid medium the second order rate constant for this electron transfer reaction for the same complex was found to increase with increasing concentration of ILs has also been studied. An outer-sphere mechanism is proposed for all these reactions and the results have been explained based on the hydrophobicity of the ligand and the reactants with opposite charges.
