The kinetics of oxidation of tyrosine by Fe(CN)63- have been studied in 40% AcOH-H2O containing 4.0 mol dm-3 HCl. The oxidation is made possible by varying the difference in redox potential by adding HCl and AcOH to the reaction mixture. The reaction is first order with respect to [Fe(CN)63- and fractional (0.72) order with respect to [tyrosine]. Increasing the acid concentration at constant chloride concentration accelerates the reaction. The order with respect to acid concentration is nearly two and H2Fe(CN)6- is regarded as the active oxidant. The initially formed product, Fe(CN)64- retards the reaction. A suitable mechanism is proposed and the reaction constants of the different steps involved have been evaluated. Activation parameters have also been calculated with respect to the slow step of the mechanism and discussed.

The kinetics of oxidation of L-proline by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.10 mol dm-3was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between DPC and L-proline in alkaline medium exhibits 2:1 stoichiometry (DPC: L-Proline). The reaction is of first order in [DPC], less than unit order in [L-proline] and [alkali]. Periodate has no effect on the rate of reaction. The reaction rate increases with increase in ionic strength and decrease in solvent polarity of the medium. Effect of added products and ionic strength of the reaction medium have been investigated. The main products were identified by spot test and I.R spectra. A mechanism involving the DPC as the reactive species of the oxidant and a complex formation with L-proline has been proposed. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of mechanism are calculated. The activation parameters with respect to slow step of the mechanism are computed and discussed and thermodynamic quantities are also calculated.

The kinetics of oxidation of L-histidine by manganese(VII) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.05 mol dm-3was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between permanganate and L-histidine in alkaline medium exhibits 2:1 stoichiometry (KMnO4: L-histidine). The reaction is of first order in [KMnO4], less than unit order in [L-histidine] and [alkali]. Decrease in the dielectric constant of the medium decreases the rate of reaction. Effect of added products and ionic strength of the reaction medium have been investigated. The main products were identified by spot test and I.R. A mechanism involving the free radical has been proposed. In composite equilibrium step L-histidine binds to MnO4-species to form a complex(C). The reaction constants involved in the different steps of mechanism are evaluated. The activation parameters with respect to slow step of the mechanism are computed and discussed and thermodynamic quantities are also determined.

The kinetics of oxidation of anti-pyretic drug, paracetamol by diperiodatoargentate (III) (DPA) in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.01 mol dm-3was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between DPA and paracetamol in alkaline medium exhibits 1:2 stoichiometry (paracetamol: DPA). The reaction is of first order in [DPA] and has less than unit order in both [PAM] and [alkali]. A decrease in the dielectric constant of the medium increases the rate of the reaction. The effect of added products and ionic strength of the reaction medium have been investigated. The oxidation reaction in alkaline medium has been shown to proceed via a DPA- paracetamol complex, which decomposes slowly in a rate determining step followed by other fast step to give the products. The main products were identified by spot test, IR, NMR and GC-MS. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism are calculated. The activation parameters with respect to slow step of the mechanism are computed and discussed and thermodynamic quantities are also determined.

The kinetics of oxidation of L-proline by permanganate in alkaline medium was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction is first order with respect to[MnO4-] and is an apparent less than unit order, each in [L-proline] and [alkali] under the experimental conditions. The reaction rate increases with increase in ionic strength and decrease in solvent polarity of the medium. Addition of reaction products has no effect on the reaction rate. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between the oxidant and substrate has been proposed. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were evaluated. There is a good agreement between the observed and calculated rate constants under varying experimental conditions. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the proposed reaction scheme were evaluated and discussed.

The oxidation of 4-hydroxycoumarin (HDC) by diperiodato- nickelate(IV) (DPN) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm-3was studied spectrophotometrically at 298 K. The reaction between DPN and 4-hydroxycoumarin in alkaline medium exhibits 1:3 stoichiometry (HDC: DPN).

The oxidation reaction in alkaline medium has been shown to proceed via a DPN- 4-hydroxycoumarin complex, which decomposes slowly in a rate-determining step followed by other fast steps to give the products. The main products were identified by spot test, IR,1HNMR studies. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism were calculated. The activation parameters with respect to slow step of the mechanism were computed and discussed and thermodynamic quantities were also determined.

AbstractOxidation of an amino acid, L-tyrosine (L-Tyr) by diperiodatocuprate(III) (DPC) in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm−3 was studied spectrophotometrically at different temperatures (288.1–313.1 K). The reaction between DPC and L-Tyr in alkaline medium exhibits 1:4 stoichiometry (L-Tyr:DPC). Intervention of free radicals was observed in the reaction. Based on the observed orders and experimental evidence, a mechanism involving monoperiodatocuprate(III) (MPC) as the reactive oxidant species has been proposed. A suitable mechanism is proposed through the formation of a complex and free radical intermediate. The products were identified by spot test and characterized by spectral studies. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism were calculated. The activation parameters with respect to slow step of the mechanism were computed and are discussed. The thermodynamic quantities were determined for different equilibrium steps. Isokinetic temperature was also calculated and found to be 252.3 K.

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.
