Abstract
The oxidation of amino acids by chloramine-T (CAT) in HCl medium at 30°C indicates simultaneous catalysis by H+ and Cl− ions in the HCl concentration range of 0.04–0.12 M. The reaction is first order with respect to concentrations [CAT], [H+] and [arginine], but zero order with respect to [histidine]. The rate depends also on Cl− concentration following 0.7th order. At HCl concentrations >0.12 M, the rate equation is:w=k[CAT] [amino acid]0.6 and is independent of the [Cl−]. A suitable mechanism has been suggested.
