Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of the substitution reaction between [Cr(H2O)6]3+ and l-Dopa in aqueous medium has been studied over the range 1.8 ≤ pH ≤ 2.6, 1.68 × 10−2 mol dm−3 ≤ [Dopa] ≤ 5.04 × 10−2 mol dm−3, I = 0.1 mol dm−3 (KNO3) at 50 °C. The reaction takes place via an outer sphere association between Cr3+ and l-Dopa followed by chelation. The product was characterized by physicochemical and infrared spectroscopic methods. The antiparkinsonian activity of the product was found to be higher than that of l-Dopa.
