The kinetics of oxidation of vanillin (VAN) by diperiodatoargentate (III) (DPA) in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 1.0 mol dm -3 was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between DPA and vanillin in alkaline medium exhibits 1:1 stoichiometry (vanillin:DPA). The reaction is first order in [DPA] and has less than unit order both in [VAN] and [alkali]. A decrease in the dielectric constant of the medium increases the reaction rate. An increase in periodate concentration has no effect on the rate. The oxidation reaction in alkaline medium has been shown to proceed via a DPA-vanillin complex, which decomposes slowly in a rate-determining step to give the products. The main products were identified by spot test, IR, and MS studies. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of the mechanism are calculated. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism are computed and discussed. Thermodynamic quantities are also determined.
The kinetics of oxidation of L-lysine by diperiodatoargentate(III) (DPA) in aqueous alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 0.50 mol dm -3 was studied spectrophotometrically. The oxidation products are aldehyde, 5-aminopentanal and Ag(I). The main products were identified by spot test, IR and GC-MS. The stoichiometry is [L-lysine]:[DPA] = 1:1. The reaction is first order with respect to diperiodatoargentate(III) concentrations, whereas the order with respect to L-lysine and alkali concentrations changes from first order to zero order as the L-lysine and alkali concentrations are increased. The effects of added products, periodate, ionic strength, and dielectric constant of the reaction medium were investigated. Based on the experimental results, a mechanism involving complex formation between DPA species and L-lysine is proposed. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were evaluated. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism were determined and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
