Abstract
AbstractAliphatic amino acids are smoothly oxidized by peroxomonophosphoric acid (PMPA) in the pH region 6–10. Kinetic studies reveal second order dependence in the amino acid not observed hitherto in any of the PMPA oxidations. Dependence in PMPA is unity. Rate‐pH profile yields a maximum around pH 8. The reaction path includes oxidation steps due to H2PO5− and HPO52−. Second order dependence in the amino acid has been attributed to participation of two Zwitter‐ionic molecules of the amino acid to form a nucleophile.
