“…132 The Ir(III)-catalysed oxidation of l-phenylalanine (Phe) to phenylpyruvic acid was first order in OH − and the order with respect to Phe changed from first order to zero order with increasing Phe concentration. 133 The Os(VIII)-catalysed oxidation of l-cystine was first order in Os(VIII) and OH − and zero order in cysteine; formation of an intermediate complex by OsO 4 (OH) 2 2− and Fe(CN) 6 3− ions has been proposed. 134 The oxidation of thioglycolic and thiomalic acids to disulfides in acidic medium was first order in substrates and H + ; a radical intermediate in thiomalic acid oxidation was characterized as a 1 : 2 : 1 triplet.…”
