Oxidation of Methionine by Colloidal MnO2 in Aqueous and Micellar Media: A Kinetic Study

The oxidation of methionine by freshly prepared colloidal manganese dioxide in aqueous as well as micellar media was studied spectrophotometrically at 35°C. The reaction between methionine and MnO₂ in both media exhibits 1:1 stoichiometry (methionine:MnO₂). The oxidation reaction is first order with regard to the MnO₂ concentration, but is fractional-order in the methionine concentration and HClO₄ concentrations. A catalytic effect of nonionic surfactant TX-100 on the rate of oxidation was observed and reaction rate was found to be proportional to {k′ + k″ [TX-100]}, where k′ and k″ are the rate constants in absence and presence of surfactant, respectively. The use of surfactant micelles is highlighted as, in favorable cases; the micelles help the redox reactions by bringing the reactants in a close proximity through hydrogen bonding. The oxidation reaction in aqueous and micellar media is shown to proceed via methionine–MnO₂ and methionine–MnO₂–TX-100 complexes, respectively, which decomposes slowly in a rate determining step to give methionine sulfoxide as the product. A suitable mechanism is proposed for these observations.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide Catalyzed N-Bromosuccinimide Oxidation of D-Mannose in Acidic Medium

The kinetics and mechanism of N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) oxidation of D-mannose in the absence and presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in acidic media have been studied under the condition [D-mannose]_T ? [NBS]_T at 40°C. Under the kinetic conditions, both the slower uncatalyzed and faster catalyzed paths go on. Both the paths show the fractional and first order dependence on [D-mannose] and [NBS]_T, respectively. The rate decreased with increase in acidity. Neither succinimide (NHS) nor Hg(II) influenced the reaction rate. Activation parameters of the reactions were determined by studying the reaction at different temperatures (30–50°C). The influence of salts on the reaction rate was also studied. CTAB accelerates the reactions and the observed effects have been explained by considering the hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction between the surfactants and reactants. In the reaction, approximately 1 mole of NBS oxidized one mole of D-mannose. A reaction scheme of the oxidation of D-mannose by NBS was found to be in consistent with the rate law and the reaction stoichiometry.     

Effect of Cationic Micellar Aggregates on the Kinetics of Dextrose Oxidation by N-Bromophthalimide

The effect of cationic micelles of Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) on the kinetics of oxidation of dextrose by N-Bromophthalimide were studied at 40°C. The reaction follows fractional-order and first order kinetics, with respect to [dextrose] and [NBP], respectively. CTAB strongly catalyze the reaction, and typical k_obs and [CTAB] profile was observed, that is, with a progressive increase in [CTAB], the reaction rate increased, reaches a maximum value then decreased. Results are treated quantitatively in terms of Berezin's Model, which is applicable to bimolecular micellar catalyzed reaction. There is a negative effect of mercuric acetate and phthalimide. The influence of salts on the reaction rates has also been seen. The activation parameters as well as other parameters were calculated and suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental findings has been proposed.

The kinetics of micellar catalyzed oxidation of oxalic acid [OA] by N-bromophthalimide was studied in the presence of perchloric acid at 308 K. The orders of reaction with respect to [Oxalic acid], [oxidant], and [H⁺] were found to be fractional, first and negative fractional order respectively. Cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide increased the reaction rate. The effect of phthalimide, mercuric acetate and inorganic salts, that is, [Cl^?][Br^?] has also been done. The rate reaction decreases with increasing dielectric constant of the medium. The results are treated quantitatively in terms of Piszkiewicz and Berezin models. The rate constant (K_obs), cooperatively index (n), binding constant (k_s + k_o), and corresponding activation parameters (E_a, ΔH^#, ΔS^#, and ΔG^#) were determined. A suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental finding has been proposed.

The reaction is strongly catalyzed by cationic micelle, CTAB with a progressive increase in CTAB concentration the reaction rate increased, at higher concentration constancy in the rate constant was observed. The reaction follows first and fractional order kinetics in NBP and citric acid, respectively. The reaction follows inverse fractional order with respect to perchloric acid. The Arrhenius equation is found to be valid for the reaction. A detailed mechanism with the associated reaction kinetics is discussed. The catalytic role of CTAB micelles is discussed in terms of the Menger and Portnoy model.

Mechanistic Investigations of Oxidation of Some Dipeptides by Sodium N‐chloro‐p‐toluenesulfonamide in Alkaline Medium:A Kinetic Study

The kinetics of oxidation of five dipeptides (DPP) viz., glycylglycine (Gly-Gly), L-alanyl-L-alanine (Ala-Ala), L-valyl-L-valine (Val-Val), L-leucyl-L-leucine (Leu-Leu) and phenylglycyl-phenylglycine (Phg-Phg) by sodium N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide or chloramine-T (CAT) in NaOH medium was studied at 308 K. The reactions follow identical kinetics for all the dipeptides, being first-order dependence each on [CAT]_o, [DPP]_o and fractional-order on [OH^－]. Addition of p-toluenesulfonamide or halide ions (Cl^－ or Br^－) has no significant effect on the rate of reaction. The reaction rate was found to increase with increase in ionic strength of the medium. The solvent isotope effect was studied using D₂O. The activation parameters for the reaction were computed from Arrhenius plots. Equilibrium and decomposition constants were evaluated. The oxidation products of the dipeptides were identified as their corresponding aldehydes. An isokinetic relationship was observed with β＝352 K, indicating that enthalpy factors control the reaction rate. CH₃C₆H₄SO₂NCl^－ of the oxidant has been postulated as the reactive oxidizing species. Under comparable experimental conditions, the rate of oxidation of the dipeptides increases in the order: Phg-Phg＞Ala-Ala＞Val-Val＞Leu-Leu＞Gly-Gly. The kinetics of oxidation of the dipeptides have also been compared with those of their corresponding monomer amino acids. The observed results have been explained by a plausible mechanism and the related rate law has been deduced.
