Abstract
The kinetics of Ru(III) catalyzed oxidations of urea, methylurea and ethylurea by sodium N-bromo-p-toluenesulfonamide, also known as bromamine-T (BAT), in HCl solution has been studied at 30°C. The reaction rate shows a first-order dependence each on [BAT], [amide] and [Ru(III)] and fractional-order on [H']. Additions of halide ions and the reaction product of BAT (p-toluenesulfonamide) and the variation of ionic strength and dielectric constant of the medium do not have any significant effect on the reaction rate. Activation parameters have been evaluated. A Taft linear free energy relationship is observed for the reaction, with p*=-0.64 and -2.95 and 8 = -0.25, indicating that electron donating groups
