Kinetics and mechanism of diethyl sulfide oxidation by sodium peroxoborate in aqueous solutions

The kinetics of diethyl sulfide (Et₂S) oxidation by aqueous sodium peroxoborate (Na₂[В₂(О₂)₂(ОН)₄]) solutions in a wide acidity range (from [HClO₄] = 1 mol/L to рН 12) has been studied using a kinetic distribution method. The kinetic data together with the results of ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy demonstrate that the monoperoxoborate B(O₂H) ₃ ^- (OH) and diperoxoborate B(O₂H)₂(OH) ₂ ^- anions are the active species in Et₂S oxidation by sodium peroxoborate at рН 8–12. It is assumed that, at a high acidity of the medium ([HClO₄] = 0.05–1.0 mol/L), peroxoboric acid (ОН)₂ВООН or its protonated form (OH)₂BOOH ₂ ⁺ are direct reactants along with Н₂О₂ and HOOH ₂ ⁺ .

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of dibenzothiophene in hydrocarbon solution Oxidation by aqueous hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid mixtures

The oxidation of white oil solutions of dibenzothiophene (DBT) by aqueous hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid solutions was studied kinetically at 50–100°. Under these conditions, the rate of DBT oxidation was found to be first order in acetic acid, second order in hydrogen peroxide, and inversely proportional to the water concentration. The activation energy between 50–100° in 64·5% acetic acid was 14 kcal/mole. We have also found that the monoxide is oxidized about 1·4 times faster than DBT. A mechanism consistent with the kinetic data has been postulated. The rate-determining step appears to be attack of a peracetic acid-hydrogen peroxide dimer on the sulfur atom of DBT.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide by chloramine-T in aqueous solution

The kinetics of oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by chloramine-T (CAT) is studied in HClO₄ and NaOH media with OsO₄ as a catalyst in the latter medium. In acid medium, the rate law is -d [CAT]/dt = k [CAT][DMSO][H⁺]. Alkali retards the reaction and the rate law takes the form -d [CAT]/dt = k [CAT][DMSO][OsO₄]/[NaOH], but is reduced to -d [CAT]/dt = k [CAT][DMSO] at higher alkali concentrations. The reaction is subjected to changes in (a) ionic strength, (b) concentrations of added neutral salts, (c) concentrations of added reaction product, (d) dielectric constant, and (e) solvent isotope effect, and the subsequent effects on the reaction rate are studied. The reaction mechanism in acid medium assumes an electrophilic attack by the free acid RNHCl (CAT′) at the sulfur site in DMSO, forming a reaction intermediate which subsequently decomposes to dimethyl sulfone on hydrolysis. Formation of a cyclic complex between RNHCl and OsO₄ which interacts with the substrate in a slow step explains the observed results in alkaline medium. The simplification of the rate equation at higher alkali concentrations is attributed to a direct reaction between chloramine-T and the substrate.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of ferrocyanide by N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous acidic solution

The kinetics of oxidation of ferrocyanide by N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) has been studied spectrophotometrically in aqueous acidic medium over temperature range 20–35 °C, pH = 2.8–4.3, and ionic strength = 0.10–0.50 mol dm⁻³ over a range of [Fe²⁺] and [NBS]. The reaction exhibited first order dependence on both reactants and increased with increasing pH, [NBS], and [Fe²⁺]. The rate of oxidation obeys the rate law: d[Fe³⁺]/dt = [Fe(CN)₆]^4–[HNBS⁺]/(k ₂ + k ₃/[H⁺]). An outer-sphere mechanism has been proposed for the oxidation pathway of both protonated and deprotonated ferrocyanide species. Addition of both succinimide and mercuric acetate to the reaction mixture has no effect on the reaction rate under the experimental conditions. Mercuric acetate was added to the reaction mixture to act as scavenger for any bromide formed to ensure that the oxidation is entirely due to NBS oxidation.     

Kinetics of diethyl sulfide oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonocarbonate in the presence of surfactants

We have studied the effect of different surfactants on the rate of diethyl sulfide (Et₂S) oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonocarbonate (HCO ₄ ^- ) in aqueous solutions. In all the studied cases, the rate of the reaction between Et₂S and H₂O₂ decreases as the surfactant concentration increases. The reaction of Et₂S with HCO ₄ ^- is catalyzed by cationic surfactants and inhibited by neutral and anionic surfactants.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimentalnaya Khimiya, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 368–372, November–December, 2004.     

Kinetics of hydrogen absorption by porous nickel in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution

Kinetic studies of hydrogen absorption by porous nickel catalyst establish that there are three regions on kinetic curves of the process differing in their regularities of adsorption. The dependence of the observed rate of hydrogen absorption on the adsorbate amount is formally described by a first order kinetic equation, and the absorption rate constants corresponding to distinct parts of the kinetic curve differ by 1–2 orders of magnitude. The obtained data are explained using the concept that hydrogen adsorption on nickel active centers proceeds with three forms of adsorption.     

Kinetics of the permanganate oxidation of formic acid in aqueous solution

The kinetics of the permanganate oxidation of formic acid in aqueous perchloric acid at 30°C were examined by the spectrophotometric method. The chemical reaction 2MnO + 3HCOOH + 2H⁺ → 2MnO₂ + 3CO₂ + 4H₂O, appears to proceed via several parallel reactions. The overall rate equation has been obtained by using statistical multilinear regression analysis of the 660 cases studied, and the presence in the rate equation of two new terms in relation to previous studies shows that both permanganate autocatalytic effects and acid media inhibition must be taken into account when the reaction proceeds at constant ionic strength.     

Kinetics of oxidation of bilirubin and its protein complex by hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions

A comparative study of oxidation reactions of bilirubin and its complex with albumin was carried out in aqueous solutions under the action of hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen at different pH values. Free radical oxidation of the pigment in both free and bound forms at pH 7.4 was shown not to lead to the formation of biliverdin, but to be associated with the decomposition of the tetrapyrrole chromophore into monopyrrolic products. The effective and true rate constants of the reactions under study were determined. It was assumed that one possible mechanism of the oxidation reaction is associated with the interaction of peroxyl radicals and protons of the NH groups of bilirubin molecules at the limiting stage with the formation of a highly reactive radical intermediate. The binding of bilirubin with albumin was found to result in a considerable reduction in the rate of the oxidation reaction associated with the kinetic manifestation of the protein protection effect. It was found that the autoxidation of bilirubin by molecular oxygen with the formation of biliverdin at the intermediate stage can be observed with an increase in the pH of solutions.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol in aqueous solution

The kinetics of oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol in aqueous solution has been studied. The rate of the reaction decreases with increasing pH since the hydrogen ascorbate ion is less reactive than the unionized L-ascorbic acid. The rate constants for the oxidation of the two species have been evaluated and a plausible mechanism of the reaction is suggested.

Kinetics of oxidation of manganese(II) by peroxomonosulfuric acid in aqueous acidic solution

Summary Oxidation of Mn _aq ²⁺ by HSO ₅ ^– in acetate buffer to manganese(IV) is autocatalytic, and obeys a rate expression of the general form -d[Mn^II]/dt = k₀[Mn^II] + k₁[Mn^II][MnO_x]. The first-order (k₀) and heterogenetic (k₁) rate constants show first-order dependences on [HSO ₅ ^– ] and on 1/[H⁺]. The reaction is catalyzed by the addition of the chelating ligand glycine; k₁ shows a first-order dependence on [glycine] at a fixed pH. This catalysis is ascribed to complexation, whereby the redox potential for Mn(gly) _n ^(2–n)+ is lower than that for Mn _aq ²⁺ , facilitating oxidation. The stoichiometry of the reaction is Mn²⁺: HSO ₅ ^– = 11, and the manganese(IV) oxide formed is of battery-active grade. Purity of the recovered product is not affected by the presence of high concentrations of natural sugars in the initial solution.

Selective oxidation of sulfide catalyzed by peroxotungstate immobilized on ionic liquid-modified silica with aqueous hydrogen peroxide

Two kinds of catalysts of peroxotungstates immobilized on ionic liquid-modified silica have been synthesized and characterized. By comparing with other heterogeneous catalysts, the most characteristic of these heterogeneous catalysts is the catalyst formed from the combination of catalytic active center peroxotungstate with an ionic liquid. Thereinto, ionic liquid-modified supported catalysts provide the hydrophobic environment for organic reactions. We presume that the heterogeneous catalyst would display excellent catalytic ability depending on the additive effect of an ionic liquid and peroxotungstate. Their catalytic properties in oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones were investigated with 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide at room temperature. These recoverable catalysts both exhibit high catalytic activities in the oxidation reaction of sulfoxides and provide excellent chemselectivities towards sulfur groups with unsaturated double bonds when the aqueous hydrogen peroxide was greatly in excess. The yields of methyl phenyl sulfoxide were still satisfied when the catalyst was reused for a sixth time.
