Abstract To study the variation of oxidative strengths of N-chloro-arenesulphonamides with substitution in the benzene ring, six mono- and five di-substituted N-chloro-arenesulphonamides are employed as oxidants for studying the kinetics of oxidation of two neutral amino acids, L-leucine and Lisoleucine in aqueous acid medium. The N-chloro-arenesulphonamides studied are of the constitution: ArSO2NaNCl·H2O (where Ar = C6H5, 4-CH3C6H4, 4-C2H5C6H4, 4-FC6H4, 4-ClC6H4, 4-BrC6H4, 2,3-(CH3)2C6H3, 2,4-(CH3)2C6H3, 2-CH3-4-ClC6H3, 2,4-Cl2C6H3, and 3,4-Cl2C6H3). The reactions show second order kinetics in [oxidant], fractional order in [amino acid] and inverse dependence on [H+]. Addition of the reduced product of the oxidants or variation in ionic strength of the medium has no significant effect on the rates of oxidations. A two-pathway mechanism is considered to explain the experimental results. Effective oxidizing species of the oxidants is Cl+ in different forms. Therefore the oxidising strengths of N-chloro-arenesulphonamides depend on the ease with which Cl+ is released from them. The study reveals that the introduction of substituent in the benzene ring of the oxidant affects both the kinetic and thermodynamic data for the oxidations The electron releasing groups such as CH3 generally inhibit the rates, while electron-withdrawing groups such as Cl enhance this ability, as the electron withdrawing groups ease the release of Cl+ from the reagents and hence increase the oxidising strengths. The on Ea and logA and validity of the Hammett and isokinetic relationships for the oxidations are also analysed.

The kinetics of oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by chlorine in aqueous acid solution (pH 0-1) have been studied using a spectrophotometric stopped flow technique. The rate law is ���������������� -d[Cl2]a/dt =([Cl2][NO2-]/Ka[Cl-]2)(f+g[HNO2]) where [Cl2]a = [Cl2]+[Cl3-] and where Ka is the ionization constant for nitrous acid. At 298.2 K and ionic strength 2.75M, f = 60.8�0.5 mol2 l-2 s-1 and g = (2.35�0.05)x105 mol l-1 s-1: the associated activation energies are 68�3 and 44�2 kJ mol-1 respectively. A mechanism is proposed involving the reversible initial step: �������������������������� NO2-+Cl2 ↔ NO2Cl+Cl- with the NO2Cl undergoing two parallel subsequent reactions, one a unimolecular decomposition and the other an attack by HNO2 upon NO2Cl. ��� Oxidation of nitrite by the three halogens, Cl2, Br2, I2, is discussed.

In the presence of iron(III) or other oxidants, aqueous acid chloride solutions of RhCl5(H2O)2− catalyze under mild conditions the oxidation of ethylene to acetaldehyde. The kinetics of the reaction measured by gas-uptake techniques indicate the presence of both ethylene dependent and independent paths. Besides fully protonated anions, hydroxy species such as RhCl5 (OH)3− and RhCl4(OH)(H2O)2−, although present in very small concentrations, are significantly reactive towards ethylene. A mechanism, based on that postulated for a similar palladium(II) system in the well-known Wacker process, is presented. Under our reaction conditions the slow steps in the rhodium system involve formation of π-complexes in the ethylene dependent paths and the formation of tetrachlororhodate(III) complexes in the ethylene independent paths. Iron(III) regenerates the rhodium(III) catalyst by oxidation of the rhodium(I). Rate constants are estimated for the various reaction paths.

The reaction kinetics of the chemical polymerization of aniline in aqueous acid solutions with FeCl3 as the oxidant (initiator) was investigated at 25?C. The polymerization was performed in a special reactor which enabled the initial concentration of oxidant to be kept constant during the polymerization reaction. The order of the reaction of ANI polymerization with respect to FeCl3 was calculated as n=0.18. The rate constant k of the polymerization reaction was found to be 9.1x10-5(mol dm-3)-1,18 s-1. The theoretical yield of the reaction was calculated using the Faraday law and the experimentally determined quantity of electricity exchanged during the polymerization reaction. There was a discrepancy between the experimentally and theoretically determined yield, indicating that the oxidant was being consumed in some side reactions, which is an accordance with the fact that the order of the reaction of ANI polymerization with respect to FeCl3 is a non-integer number.
