Abstract

The kinetics of oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol in aqueous solution has been studied. The rate of the reaction decreases with increasing pH since the hydrogen ascorbate ion is less reactive than the unionized L-ascorbic acid. The rate constants for the oxidation of the two species have been evaluated and a plausible mechanism of the reaction is suggested.
