Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Phenyl Acetic Acid and Dl-mandelic Acid by Permanganate in Acid Medium
نویسنده
چکیده
Kinetics of oxidation of phenyl acetic acid and DLMandelic acid by potassium permanganate in aqueous acetic acid and perchloric acid mixture reveals that the kinetic orders are first order in oxidant, first order in H+ and zero order in substrate for phenyl acetic acid. DL-Mandelic acid exhibits first order in oxidant and zero order in substrate. The results are rationalised by a mechanism involving intermediate formation of mandelic acid in case of Phenyl acetic acid and ester formation with Mn (VII) in case of DL-Mandelic acid. The following order of reactivity is observed: DL-Mandelic acid > Phenyl acetic acid. The high reactivity of DL-Mandelic acid over phenyl acetic acid may be due to different mechanisms operating with the two substrates and benzaldehyde is the final product in both the cases.

The kinetics of Mn(VII) oxidation of lysine in moderately sulfuric acid solutions was studiedspectrophotometrically in the presence and absence of Mn(II) as catalyst. The reaction was arrangedto be under pseudo first-order condition with respect to Mn(VII). The results showed that the pseudofirst-order rate constant increases with increasing [H2SO4], [(Mn)II], and [lysine]. The dependence ofthe...

The kinetics of oxidations of α-hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid, lactic acid and mandelic acids with piperidiniumchlorochromate has been studied in aqueous acetic acid medium. The reaction order is one with respect to oxidant, substrate and fractional order with respect to hydrogen ion concentration. Decrease in dielectric constant of the medium increases the rate of reaction. No appreciabl...

Amyloid-β (Aβ) self-assembly into cross-β amyloidfibrils is implicated in a causative role in Alzheimer’s disease pathology.Uncertainties persist regarding the mechanisms of amyloid self assembly and the role of metastable prefibrillar aggregates. Aβ fibrilsfeature a sheet-turn-sheet motif in the constituent β-strands; as such, turn nucleation has been proposed as a rate-limiting step in the se...
