Abstract: | The effect of cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the interaction of dipeptide glycyl-tyrosine (Gly-Tyr) with ninhydrin under varying conditions has been studied spectrophotometrically at 70 °C and pH 5.0. The reaction followed first- and fractional-order kinetics with respect to [Gly-Tyr] and [ninhydrin], respectively. Increase in total concentration of CTAB from 0 to 70 × 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 pseudo-phase model of the micelles (proposed by Menger and Portnoy and developed by Bunton) and Piszkiewicz model. A possible mechanism has been proposed and the kinetic data have been used to evaluate the micellar binding constants KS (268 mol−1 dm3 for Gly-Tyr) and KN (64 mol−1 dm3 for ninhydrin). |
