The present paper describes the kinetics of oxidation of l-Arginine by QDC in the presence of perchloric acid in 30% DMF-H O(v/v) medium at 2 + 40⁰C spectrophotometrically at λ =354nm. The reaction is rst order with respect to [QDC], [H ], and [substrate]. The reaction rate increased with max increasing volume percentage of DMF in reaction mixture. Michaelis- Menten type kinetic was observed with l-Arginine. The reaction rates were studied at different temperature and the activation parameters has been computed. The main product was identied as Cr (III) and 4-Guanidino buteraldehyde.

Oxidation of L-isoleucine and L-valine by [25, 30, 35, 40, 45,50⁰C] and activation parameters were computed. The effect of dielectric constant of the medium on the rate was studied. A mechanism consistent with the observed results has been proposed.
