Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of L‐Cystine by Hexacyanoferrate(III) in Alkaline Medium

Abstract: Kinetics of oxidation ofL-cystine by hexacyanoferrate(III) was studied in alkaline medium at 30 °C. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically at λmax = 420 nm. The reaction was found to be first order dependence each on [HCF(III)] and [cystine]. It was found that the rate of the reaction increases with increase in [OH-]. The oxidation product of the reaction was found to be cysteic acid. A plausible mechanism has been proposed to account for the experimental results.

“…Only ascorbic acid and l-cysteine interfered to a significant extent. This is due to the fact that the hexacyanoferrate (III) produced in the turnip peroxidase reaction can be reduced by ascorbic acid and is able to oxidize lcysteine [33]. From this it can be noted that the proposed turnip …”

“…Its thiol group (–SH), thiolate ion (CS − ), and thiyl radical species (CS * ) are capable of initiating reduction reaction in acidic, aqueous, or buffer media [ 11 13 ]. The electron transfer reactions of l-cysteine have been investigated in a good number of researches such as reduction of trinuclear Mn(IV) species in which the rate was found to increase in aqua media [ 14 ], [Mn 4 O 6 ] 4+ core resulted in a significant decrease in the observed second-order rate constants in aqua media enriched with deuterium water and a proton-mixed single electron transfer reaction was proposed [ 15 ], 11-tungstophosphovanate(V) resulted in a first order with respect to [redox species] [ 16 ], Hexacyanoferrate(III) showed an increased reaction rate with increase in hydroxide ion concentration and the product was found to be sulfenic acid [ 17 ], and [CoSalophen] + complex established the importance of deprotonated and protonated form of l-cysteine in the electron transfer process [ 18 ]; in the view to gain more understanding of the character of enzymes containing thiol group in bio-systems.…”

“…Hexacyanoferrate(III) (HCF) has been widely used to oxidize various organic and inorganic compounds in basic, acidic, and neutral medium . HCF is one electron oxidant with a redox potential of +0.45V for the [Fe(CN) 6 ] −3 /[Fe(CN) 6 ] −4 couple in alkaline medium leading to its reduction to hexacyanoferrate(II), a stable product . In most of the oxidations, HCF is mainly used as a hydrogen atom abstractor and free radical generator .…”
