Abstract

Cysteic acid is formed as a product of the oxidation of cysteine (Cys) by imidazolium dichromate (IDC) in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) as solvent. The reaction is determined to be first order in terms of IDC and pseudo first order in terms of cysteine. Hydrogen ions catalyzed the oxidation process. Cysteine's oxidation was investigated in nineteen organic solvents, multiparametric equations by Kamlet and Swain used to examine the solvent effect. The solvent effect designated to the cation-solvating behavior of the solvents. An appropriate and suitable mechanism has been proposed.
