Abstract

Kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of L-proline by hexacyanoferrate(III)(HCF) in alkali was studied spectrophotometrically at 30 0 C. A reaction was found to be independent upon (L-proline). The reaction was occurred without intervening free radical. Since unit order each in (Ru(III)) and (HCF), the oxidation follows an outer-sphere mechanism. A suitable mechanism was proposed and rate law was derived as kobs = kK
