The kinetics of oxidation of a number of meta- and para-substituted N,?-diphenylnitrones (nitrone) by dichloramine-T (DCT) was investigated in the presence of alkali in aqueous acetonitrile medium. The order with respect to DCT was one and to OH- an inverse fractional order. The reaction was first order with respect to nitrone. Both electron releasing and withdrawing substituents suppress the reaction rate. The observed rate constant for the substituents were plotted against the Hammett constant, ?, and a non-linear concave downward curve was obtained. The electron withdrawing substituents fall on one side of the curve, having a negative ? value and the electron releasing substituents fall on the other side, with a positive ? value. A mechanism is proposed and the derived rate law is in conformity with the observed results.

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of n-butane has been investigated at pressures from 5 to 60 cm. and temperatures from 513 to 572 °C. The initial first order rate constants at high pressures are given by[Formula: see text]The results are in good agreement with the work of Frey and Hepp, but differ greatly from that of Paul and Marek. The reaction rate falls off strongly with diminishing pressure; this is rather surprising for a molecule as complex as butane. The first order constants in a given run fall rapidly as the reaction progresses. The last two facts suggest that chain processes may be involved.A large number of analyses of the products of reaction have been made at various pressures, temperatures, and stages of the reaction, the method being that of low-temperature fractional distillation. The products are virtually independent of temperature and pressure over the range investigated. The initial products, obtained by extrapolation to zero decomposition, are:—H2, 2.9; CH4, 33.9; C3H6, 33.9; C2H4, 15.2; C2H6, 14.1%. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed, and the results are compared with those of the other paraffin decompositions.

Abstract The present paper deals with the kinetics of oxidation of D-galactose by Nessler's reagent in alkaline medium. The reaction is zero order with respect to Hg(II) and first order with respect to reducing sugar. The direct proportionality of the reaction rate at low hydroxide ion concentrations shows retarding trend at higher concentrations. The reaction rate is inversely proportional to iodide ion concentration. A mechanism has been proposed taking HgI3- as the reacting species

The kinetics of oxidation of proline by periodate has been studied at pH 1.40–8.83 and 30.0 °C. The reaction rate is first order in both periodate and amino acid, and the overall reaction follows second-order kinetics. There was no evidence for the formation of an appreciable amount of intermediate. The reaction rate is highest at pH 4–7 and the oxidation is catalysed by [Formula: see text] ions. The pH dependence of the reaction rate can be explained in terms of reaction of periodate monoanion and the protonated and dipolar forms of the amino acid. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law are consistent with the observed kinetics. The rate constants obtained from the derived rate law are in agreement with the observed rate constants, thus justifying the rate law and the proposed mechanistic scheme. Keywords: oxidation of proline, oxidation by periodate.

The kinetics of oxidation of isoleucine withN-bromophthalimide has been studied in perchloric acid medium potentiometrically. The reaction is of first order each in [NBP] and [amino acid] and negative fractional order in [H+]. The rate is decreased by the addition of phthalimide. A decrease in the dielectric constant of the medium increases the rate. Addition of halide ions or acrylonitrile has no effect on the kinetics. Similarly, variation of ionic strength of the medium does not affect the reaction rate. The reaction rate has been determined at different temperatures and activation parameters have been calculated. A suitable mechanism involving hypobromous acid as reactive species has been proposed.

The kinetics of oxidation of (phenylthio)acetic acid (PTAA) withN-chlorosaccharin (NCSA) have been studied potentiometrically in 80:20 (v/v) acetonitrile-water medium at 298 K. The reaction is first-order each with respect to PTAA and NCSA and shows a negative dependence on [H+]. NCSA itself is shown to be the active oxidizing species. Effects of ionic strength variation, added saccharin, added acrylonitrile, added NaCl and solvent composition variation have been studied. Effect of substituents on the reaction rate has been analysed by employing various (p-sustituted phenylthio)acetic acids. The electron-releasing substituent in the phenyl ring of PTAA accelerates the reaction rate while the electron-withdrawing substituent retards the rate. The excellently linear Hammett plot yields a large negative ρ value, supporting the involvement a chlorosulphonium ion intermediate in the rate-determining step.

The kinetics of oxidation of serine and threonine by periodate have been investigated in acid medium at 10 °C. The reaction rate is first order in both periodate and amino acid, and the overall reaction follows second-order kinetics. The rates decrease with increase in [H+]. A catalytic effect of the buffers was not observed in the oxidation process. An analysis of the dependence of the rate on [H+] reveals that the reactive species under the experimental conditions are periodate monoanion and dianion and the dipolar form of the amino acid. The mechanism proposed and the derived rate law are consistent with the observed kinetics. The rate constants predicted using the derived rate law are in agreement with the observed rate constants, thus justifying this rate law and hence the proposed mechanistic scheme.

The kinetics of oxidation of metochlopramide hydrochloride (MCP) with sodiumN-chlorop-toluenesulfonamide (CAT) in perchloric acid solution has been studied at 313K. The reaction rate shows a first order dependence on [CAT], fractional order on [MCP] and inverse fractional order on [H+]. There is a negative effect of dielectric constant of the solvent. The addition of the reduction product of CAT has no significant effect on the rate. The rate remained unchanged with the variation in the ionic strength of the medium. The reaction fails to induce the polymerization of acrylonitrile. Thermodynamic parameters have been computed by Arrhenius plot. The stoichiometry of the reaction was found to be 1:2 and oxidation products were identified. The Michaelis-Menten type of kinetics has been proposed. CH3C6H4SO2NHCl have been assumed to be the reactive oxidizing species. Thermodynamic parameters were computed by studying reactions at different temperatures. A mechanism consistent with observed kinetics is proposed.

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 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.
