| Abstract: | The kinetics of oxidation of amino acids by bromine in aqueous, perchloric acid medium at 35°C has been studied. Based on the experimental results, a reaction scheme is proposed in which the active oxidants are bromine and HOBr. The electrophilic attack of bromine occurs at the carboxylate (- COO -) group. HOBr reacts with the amino acids through the a-hydrogen atom via hydride ion transfer or abstraction. The a-substituent plays a vital role in accelerating the rate limiting step. |
