Abstract
Kinetics of Permanganate (MnO4−) oxidation of antiviral drug, valacyclovir hydrochloride (VCH) has been studied spectrophotometrically at a constant ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm−3. The reaction exhibiting a 2:1 stoichiometry (MnO4−:VCH) has been studied over a wide range of experimental conditions. It was found that the rate enhancement was associated with an increase in concentrations of alkali, reductant and temperature. A plausible mechanism involving an intermediate Mn(VII)-VCH complex (C) was expected and rate law is derived accordingly. Calculated activation parameters also supported the anticipated mechanism.Graphic abstract Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12039-021-01969-4.
