KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF RUTHENIUM (III) CATALYSIS IN THE OXIDATION OF ERYTHRITOL BY CHLORAMINE-T
*Amrita Srivastava and Swarn Lata Bansal
ABSTRACT The kinetic investigations of Ru (III) catalyzed oxidation of erythritol (1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroxybutane) by chloramine-T (CAT) in HClO4 in the presence of Hg (OAc)2 as scavenger for Cl− have been investigated. The reactions are zero order with respect to alcohol and first order w.r.t of CAT. The reaction rate is first order with respect to [Ru (III)] and zero order is found for perchloric acid, KCl and NaClO4. Mercuric acetate does not influence the reaction rate. Suitable mechanism in conformity with the observed kinetic data is proposed and thermodynamic parameters are computed. Keywords: Kinetics, Ru (III) catalyst, oxidation, Erythritol, Chloramine-T, Mercuric acetate. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
