The kinetics of the oxidation of benzilic acid by potassium permanganate in an acidic medium were studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction followed a two-stage process, wherein both stages of the reaction followed first-order kinetics with respect to permanganate ion and benzilic acid. The rate of the reaction increased with an increase in acid concentration. Autocatalysis was observed by one of the products, i.e., manganese(II). A composite mechanism involving autocatalysis has been proposed. The activation parameters of the reaction were calculated and discussed and the reaction constants involved in the mechanisms were calculated. There is a good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants under different experimental conditions.Key words: oxidation, autocatalysis, benzilic acid, two-stage kinetics.

Prop-2-en-1-ol in aqueous acid solution gives propane-1,2-diol and propanal. At 100�C the amount of diol in this product ratio is found to decrease from 65% in 1 M HClO4 to 50% in 4 M HClO4. Pseudo-first-order kinetics are found to apply. The values obtained for the activation parameters, Ea and ΔS‡ and for a Hammett acidity plot, are similar to results reported for other alkenes. The relative rates of partitioning between regeneration of the substrate and rearrangement for the pinacol rearrangement of optically active propane-1,2-diol have been calculated previously. When these are compared with product ratios obtained from the hydration of prop-2-en-1-ol, good agreement is found between the respective values if it is assumed that the regenerated substrate has undergone complete racemization of configuration. This is interpreted to be evidence for a short-lived, but free ion-dipole as the intermediate in the heterolysis of propane-1,2-diol.

Atrazine is a broad spectrum herbicide of triazine family. It is a chlorine-containing molecule and it can persist in environment. Chemical and biochemical techniques are the main techniques used to decompose the chemicals. In pre-sent study, the dechlorination of atrazine (Atr) via reaction with Sn(II) ion under aqueous media at neutral pH condi-tions was studied. The observed dechlorinated metabolite was 4-Ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-[1,3,5]triazin-2-ol. Identification of dechlorinated product of Atr was performed by using spectroscopic (FTIR) and mass (ESI-MS) spectrometric analysis. The kinetics of the dechlorination of Atr was measured by using pseudo-first order kinetics. The observed reaction constants was, kobs = 6.11x10-2 (at 430 mg/ L of Atr), and kobs = 6.14 x10-2 (at 215 mg/ L of Atr). The calculated half-life (t1/2) period was, t1/2 = 0.204 d (at 430 mg/ L of Atr), and t1/2 = 0.205 d (at 215 mg/ L of Atr).

The reaction was studied via pseudo-first-order kinetics using a UV-1800 Shimadzu spectrophotometer with a thermostated cell compartment and interfaced with a computer. The reaction showed first order with respect to malachite green and sugar and hydroxyl ion concentrations. However, the reaction was independent of ionic strength and showed no dependence on the salt effect, indicating an inner sphere mechanism for the reaction. There was no polymerization of the reaction mixture with acrylonitrile, indicating the absence of radicals in the course of the reaction. Michaelis-Menten plot indicated the presence of a reaction intermediate in the rate-determining step. The activation parameters of the reaction have been calculated and products were elucidated by FTIR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1. A mechanism consistent with the above facts has been suggested.

Kinetics of Oxidation of Benzoin by N. Bromosuccinimide[NBS] 80% aqueous acetic acid has been investigated. The reaction follows first-order kinetics with respect to both[NBS] and [benzoin]. The effect of varying ionic strength and dielectric constant indicate the reaction is dipole-dipole type. Addition of succinimide(>NH), has a retarding effect on the rate of oxidation. The product of oxidation is benzil. By studying the effect of temparature on the reaction rate, the Arrhenius and the activation parameters have been calculated. A suitable mechanism has been proposed and a rate low explaining the experiment results is derived.

The comparative study of oxidation of aliphatic alcohols likes methanol, ethanol and propanol was carried out by CAN in the presence of perchloric acid in acetonitrile medium. The reaction is first order with respect to [substract], [oxidant] and [H+] concentration. The kinetics of the reaction was followed spectrophotometrically at λmax = 400 nm. The reactions were studied at different temperature [303 to 323 K]. A possible mechanism is proposed here. The reaction constant involved in the mechanism have been computed. There is good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constant under different experimental conditions. The activation parameters have been evaluated.

The reaction kinetics of the synthesis of sodium ethyl xanthogeneacetate from potassium ethylxanthogenate and sodium chloroacetate in distilled water as the reaction medium at 25, 30, 35 and 40?C, were investigated. The obtained reaction mixture was a complex system which demanded the use of two methods for the kinetic measurements. The reaction was followed using the conductrometric and UV/Vis spectrophotometric method with equimolar initial concentrations of the reactants and under pseudo-first order conditions with respect to one of the reactants. The rate constants of the pseudo-first order and second order reactions were calculated from the data. On the basis of the reaction constants, the activation parameters were calculated and are discussed. .

The kinetics of oxidation of methyl orange by vanadium(V) {V(V)} has been investigated in the pH range 2.3-3.79. In this pH range V(V) exists both in the form of decavanadates and VO2+. The kinetic results are distinctly different from the results obtained for the same reaction in highly acidic solution (pH < 1) where V(V) exists only in the form of VO2+. The reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to methyl orange but the rate has very little dependence on total vanadium concentration. The reaction is accelerated by H+ ion but the dependence of rate on [H+] is less than that corresponding to first order dependence. The equilibrium between decavanadates and VO2+ explains the different kinetic pattern observed in this pH range. The reaction is markedly accelerated by Triton X-100 micelles. The rate-[surfactant] profile shows a limiting behavior indicative of a unimolecular pathway in the micellar pseudophase.

The kinetics of oxidation of arsenic(III) by hexachloroiridate(IV) at lower acid concentrations and at constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3 have been investigated spectrophotometrically. A first-order reaction in [IrCl62-] and fractional order with respect to arsenic(III) have been observed. A kinetic evidence for the formation of an intermediate complex between the hydrolyzed arsenic(III) species and the oxidant was presented. The results showed that decreasing the [H+] is accompanied by an appreciable acceleration of the rate of oxidation. The activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic results was suggested.

A comparative study of chemical stability of terfenadine (TER) and itsin vivometabolite fexofenadine (FEX) was performed. Both TER and FEX were subjected to high temperature at different pH and UV/VIS light at different pH and then quantitatively analyzed using new validated LC-UV methods. These methods were used to monitor the degradation processes and to determine the kinetics of degradation for both the compounds. As far as the effects of temperature and pH were concerned, FEX occurred more sensitive to degradation than TER. As far as the effects of UV/VIS light and pH were concerned, the both drugs were similarly sensitive to high doses of light. Using all stress conditions, the processes of degradation of TER and FEX followed the first-order kinetics. The results obtained for these two antihistaminic drugs could be helpful in developing their new derivatives with higher activity and stability at the same time.
