Abstract: | Rates of oxidation of dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) by HOBr producedin situ from sodium bromate-sodium bisulphite reagent have been studied iodometrically in aqueous medium. The order in DMSO] is
one when DMSO] < 001 mol dm-3, fractional when DMSO] is between 0.01 and 0.5mol dm-3 and zero when (DMSO) > 0.5 mol dm-3. Different rate laws are operative under these three conditions though HOBr is the effective oxidizing species in all the
cases. A mechanism involving an intermediate four-membered cyclic transition state between DMSO and HOBr (formation constantK), which decomposes in a slow step with a rate constant(k) has been proposed. Thermodynamic parameters for the adduct formation step and activation parameters for the first-order decomposition
of the adduct step have been evaluated in the temperature range 308–323 K. Activation parameters have also been determined
while the orders in DMSO] are unity and zero. The reaction product has been identified as dimethyl sulphone (DMSO2). |
